### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy Indeed
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 February 2026*

As the name suggests this is indeed a handy recorder. It's very portable, the quality is good and it benefits from being able to plug external mics into it if required. It can also by used as an audio interface as well. For me it's best feature is the fact that it is unnecessary to set the recording levels - this is done by the device. And it works very well. I haven't experienced any clipping, but in the unlikely even of this happening if you record in 32 bit float it is possible to reduce the waveform to below peak level. The device itself is light and the record function is operated simply by pressing the red record button. It's that simple. I don't use batteries I prefer to use mains. It can be powered through either a laptop of PC usb or usb mains plug. For those who prefer batteries I've read that the device will go through them quite quickly particularly if phantom power is required for external mics. Another alternative is to use a power bank, such as you might buy to charge a mobile phone while camping. Best check that the power bank is of the correct specifications (shown in the Zoom instructions). I usually mount the device on a camera tripod as if it is hand held, unless you take particular care handling noise will be experienced. It works best with the microphones directed towards and 1-2 metres away from the sound source. Recordings can be played back using the onboard speaker, although the sound quality is not great. There is a headphone socket which allows for much better audio. The only thing which bothers me is the file system. It is not possible to name the tracks. They are named for you using the date. Having said this if you transfer the files to a laptop or PC then it is possible to rename them, so it's not a problem which can't be overcome. I find this device very handy for recording rehearsals or in any situation where you want to capture high quality stereo sound quickly. Once you are familiar with the way the device works it's very easy to use and delivers very acceptable results at a modest price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeping the vibe alive
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 June 2026*

Wow, absolutely wow!I use this to record over Discord the podcasts and live streams I do to later put on YouTube.Excellent quality, durable and very easy to use.Sound quality is up there with the bigger name brands.I have been in the music industry for many years and this is my go to recording device for impromptu jamming sessions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 October 2024*

Five stars is a bit generous, so 4.5 would be how I rate it, but since it doesn't have the option. I have the Zoom h4 Pro, which is approx the same size, but the h4 Pro has better build quality than the Essential, but for what I paid for this £169, it's well worth it.It's 32 bit performance is good and all round performance is very good. It's better than the H4 pro, for using it as an audio device on a computer. I do YT videos and even on low end machines, it performs really well. I also use audio equipment for recording nature sounds and I've found it really good for that, light, cake to use and gets the job done.One thing, that is a warning, is that, unlike it's sibling, it only has sound as output. So what you record, can sound very low. It's a bit like a RAW file in photography, but the sound will still be excellent once it's been edited.A good looking, nice graphical interface and great sound, a bit of a cheap feel, but apart from that it's a quality device.
