According to our audio recorder expert
The Zoom H2n is the successor to the successful Zoom H2. The characteristic design of its predecessor is kept intact and improved at the points where this was possible. The audio recorder is equipped with an XY microphone with which files in both MP3 and PCM format can be recorded. The expandable internal memory offers space for SD memory cards of up to 32 GB. With the rotary knob on top you can easily choose from 4 different recording modes the most ideal mode at that moment. In order to get started immediately after recording, no computer is needed. The Zoom H2n allows you to normalize the volume of the entire recording, cut the recording in parts and even convert WAV files to the widely used MP3 format. With the included Steinberg's WaveLab LE software, you can completely and completely finish the recordings and create a professional end result.
The Zoom H2n comes standard with a 2 GB SD- memory card and 2 AA batteries. To get the most out of your Zoom H2n, a 7-piece accessory package is available. It contains a remote control to adjust your shots, a windshield, an adjustable table stand, a stand to use the Zoom H2n as a microphone, a carrying case, an AC adapter and a USB cable. Get even more from your Zoom H2N with the most complete accessory package.

As a choral conductor and musician I like to record my own concerts. Until recently I used a Sony device that was already quite old and I also had to borrow from a friend. So it's time for your own device! I heard about the Zoom through an uncle who is a professional singer and after comparing the models I decided to purchase this Zoom H2n.
In the meantime I have already recorded a few concerts with it and the quality is unbelievable! Whichever recording mode you put it on (stereo or surround), the music will be recorded perfectly! There are also enough functions on the device itself to control recording strength and the like.
A small drawback is the plastic housing: it feels a bit cheap and you can't actually record while you're touching the thing (or holding it), because then you hear constant crackling. Protection against the wind is also not present, so I think it is advisable to purchase the accessory package, which also contains other useful items.
In short, this recording device is an absolute must, not only for recording music, but also for journalists and the like, this seems like a great thing!

I bought the H2N Zoom for interviews and sampling atmospheric sounds.
The H2N is more than sufficient for the interviews and it even exceeds my expectations. During one-on-one conversations, the quality is crystal clear and interviews are clearly intelligible, both in stereo and mono. The recorder also records the conversation excellently during group interviews (more than 12 people in a large room). Some post-processing to give soft voices the same volume as loud speakers, but that is so easy with software such as Audicity. I didn't miss a word.
For recording atmospheric sounds, I am also satisfied with the H2N, albeit slightly less. The stereo sound image is wide and spacious, perfect. Just radio quality. Except for very deep bass: a recording at a construction site didn't sound nearly as full as I expected. Can be compensated with software, but that is of course not the ultimate solution.
Furthermore, the H2N Zoom is easy to operate. The record button is clearly visible and conveniently located. Since there are five microphones on it, I had to check which one I actually use during stereo recordings. But that worked. The menu and playback buttons on the side also work fine, although it doesn't feel easy to switch between playback and recording.

After scouring the internet in search of a decent entry-level model, I decided to purchase the Zoom H2n. Since I have no experience with audio recording and my needs are not demanding, I wanted a device with sufficient functions, decent quality and a low price.
The Zoom responds perfectly to that. I had already read a lot of positive things about this device and can therefore confirm that this Zoom is really worth it.
The device contains more than enough functions and configuration options. The various built-in microphones ensure usability in a wide range of contexts/situations. And the quality of the recordings is certainly high enough (for my usage needs).
You should take the time to discover all the possible options of the device, so that you can set them optimally. Fortunately, you can also make great recordings without any configuration. On first use, I had the feeling that the H2n didn't feel as robust, but I got over that. I also think the lack of a protective cover is a minus, because you have to buy the accessory package for that.
All in all, the Zoom H2n is a fantastic device that will benefit every type of user. Combine that with the low cost price and you immediately know why you should choose the H2n. However, if you are a professional user, your requirements may be slightly higher and you may be looking for a recorder with, for example, XLR connections.
