Be careful when wearing the headphones. This recorder can pickup everything that can be heard by the human ear and many things that cannot. If you have the volume turned up and you are using the headphones to monitor...even the slightest movement will sound deafening!

If I could add one function to this product it would be the ability to mix the internal mics with the line in or external mics...That is it.

I purchased this recorder for my husband. He is a trumpet player and loves to use it when he practices. Not only is it compact, but it's recording quality is superior. It came with an additional piece that slides right down into a microphone stand... so he takes it on gigs. Not too long after he got it, we found that many of his musician buddies had it too. They all use them to listen to their gigs and rehearsals and rave about it. I think it is a must have for any musician or singer! Takes any size SD card and can record in mp3 format.

5.0 out of 5 stars My husband is a drummer and loves it!, July 7, 2008

This review is from: Samson Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder + 2GB Accessory Kit (Electronics)

I got this for my husband, a drummer, to record his practice sessions and his band rehearsals. It's microphone capability is amazing for such a small unit. Navigating the menu takes a little getting used to, but the overall ease of recording and downloading to the computer makes up for it. G4 TVs "Attack of the Show" Gadget Pron segment reviewed it, with high marks. It's also recommended by pro musicians such as Peter Erskine. We also use it to record our kids playing around on the piano and drums! A great, handy unit to have on hand for on the spot recording. Made a great Father's Day gift.
