Batteries are better option than built-in accu imho. If your batteries run out (or you forget to charge the device), you can quite easily buy new batteries almost everywhere, including gas stations or grocery stores. But AA batteries would be better than AAA.

I have the previous generation that runs off one AA battery and wanted to upgrade but the AAA batteries were a deal breaker. Still use the old one often for events for ambient audio, have a lav mic for interviews, It can be used for so many things. The battery life is great. Cheaply built but still works after all these years. Now a days there are things that weren't around that do specific things better like the Zoom f2 that's designed for lav mics and then there are bluetooth devices like the Go.

Yeah I found your channel yesterday and it seems useful for me. Nice job😊

Fix for rattling noise: take a foam earbud fluffy cover, cut a very thin strip and insert it along the top or bottom of the volume rocker. Poke it in with a thin sharp blade. It will stay nicely in the cavity and totally cure the rattle. You'll need to do the same with the trash/delete button. These are the only buttons that have the rattle and this solution is so good it might have been something they did in the factory. Black coloured foam will not be visible, or it will look factory made on a white edition. Very smart looking and feeling too.

I just bought a Zoom M2 mic / recorder which uses 32 bit float - and the price was around that of the H1N. Worth checking out local pricing. 32 bit float means never having to set levels again!

Also you can use without triple a battery using your portable power bank 😊

That was a quick and practical review. I wish you gave some idea about the features also. as in if it supports usb audio, filters etc

Make video on how to record great audio with smartphone. Also do you know any way to make recorded sound sounding like deep voice

[everestjourney]

I just subscribed to your channel. Am into city walk and I really need audio recorder that can help capture ambient sounds and give better studio quality to make the viewer feel like as if they are there with me live .

For example some movies might not be too interesting but the audio quality, the sound can keep people watching.

I really need your recommendation because am almost about to get the zoom h1n before I found your channel.

[bikeham]

I've had both the Zoom H1 and the H1N and the AAA batteries drain too quickly even when not being used. Otherwise, the H1N is great.

[bilbowaggins]

I'm just looking for something to record acoustic instruments (guitar, harmonica, cajon, vocals)....would you recommend it for that?

[BlockchainOversimplified]

hey there another possible video idea is audio editing like i have a decent condenser mic and i make sure i follow all the rules that people recommend like be as close to mic as possible, have acoustic materials on walls and other places to reduce echo, leave 5 sec silence for capturing background noise etc but still by audio is not perfect, like its audible and clear but not professional (i use audacity) so yeah a quick walkthrough of your editing process would be appreciated

[pentapandamusic]

I can't believe the quality video is by your phone, what phone are you using?

[luanluan]

May I know what phone do you use? And could you introduce how you use your phone to make great video and audio?Thank you so much!

[DUKEofWAIL]

Have you noticed the low frequency bumps throughout most of your narration?

[darlaandson]

they should make a wireless zoom h1n that to where you don't have to sync the audio in editing software

[uniquemeeta]

Is this recorder good for recording the upstairs? Noisy neighbors, will it work? Will it record everything

[jrgenholteng]

On Android phones: ASR (NLL APPS) it has WAV 32 bit 192khz Stereo. Other formats: AMR, Flac, M4A, MP3, OGG, Opus....

[worriedremediation]

Just got one for $30, definitely think it was worth it

[almahmud]

Thanks a lot. I was just about to buy one as a beginner.
