this is a quick recording from it, I used the multi-record track mode and used my shure Beta 57a phantom mic to record my vocals which I recorded in my truck thanks to the portability of this unit, recorded my guitar direct line and then recorded guitar with the H4N mics.

I made this for my Wife.

I'm sorry to disagree with you guys, but I feel someone should give an other perspective, for potential buyers reading this. To my ears the H4n is a decent recorder, but sounds somehow hollow and thin' also the preamps are not something I would happy to use, lack of definition, overly bright and too sterile. I would NOT call it's audio recording quality stellar or pristine as some people commented in any way. I'm sure for many people it is good enough and for sure gives you a lot for what it costs, but I feel it still leaves a lot to be desired in the audio department.

I am an audio engineer and I always look for the best possible audio quality first, even for a low cost machine like this one, and then features, and I just felt someone had to put the record straight on this one…

It seems great.It is a truly beautiful piece of equipment. With all the features it has and the price being $439 (In Canada) it is a far better deal than the others in its class. It sounds great to me – Im no expert.
I have tried it with a studio mike and a Sure SM58, inside, outside, in vehicles the works and it works great. When I record ambient sounds in a room, then play it back on my headphones its so clear and real that I find myself answering someone I hear on the recording. Its that clear!

Opinions are unanimously positive about the Fostex, but it’s quite a bit more expensive than the H4n and the H4n also hasn’t been out that long, so less has been written about it. How do the new and better preamps of the H4n compare to those of the Fostex?

So I wait for something that looks like an objective review. I have used the H2, and the user interface is awkward, to put it mildly. Does the H2N, with all the extra buttons and larger screen, make big improvements on the UI? And are the preamps really so good? Et c. I see today that vendors finally have it in stock. I hope to see more reviews soon.
