Easy to use, small, good features for price2008-08-15
I bought this device to add ambient (environment) sound to my panoramic photographs and it is working well for me. It is much smaller than the small video camera that I used to carry with me to capture sound. It has many features for the price. Ensure that you adjust the microphone gain after looking at the audio levels on the display and that you check whether you are using the 120 degree mic in the back for ambient or the 90 degree microphone on the front. I have other recording devices that are smaller, but this device was designed with the intent of getting good audio.
Excellent little device2008-08-14
I bought this unit for podcasting. However, when I discovered that it can be used as a USB mic, I decided to set it up for Skype calls as well. The sound quality is fantastic.

The only criticism I have is that you have to reconnect it - via it menu - each time you start your computer. It only takes two button pushes, but sometimes I forget, and wonder why Skype isn't hearing me.
Nice thing2008-08-09
This is a pretty good thing. Put a big chip in it for best utility. No speakers. gotta use earphones. Tiny letters on the visual display panel, not so good for 60 y.o. + people like me. Put on your glasses. Nice to record the church choir rehearsals. Then just download the file to your computer and email it out to members who can practice with it at home.
Phenominal Bargain.2008-08-09
As for "bang for the buck", this is probably the best item I have ever purchased. It is user friendly, versatile, does everything it claims to do, and is totally affordable. A great tool. Every musician should have one.
H2 Review2008-07-30
Well this product is really good... good sound for the price. Some other apparel seam to give some really similar result for double the of the cost. So its the best tool for amateur/semi-professional artist who want to record their stuff.
