I bought this device to aid practice as it's very difficult to judge the overall sound of a duet when you're actually playing one of the parts. I was not disappointed.
This is an excellent recorder providing a superb stereo image. Extremely good recording quality and it works straight out of the box, just load two batteries and away you go.
Very importantly, and unlike MP3 recorders I've tried, the H2 accurately captures the attack of "difficult" instruments like concertinas beautifully and it works equally well with percussion.
The box includes a memory card, headphones, USB lead, stereo jack to phono lead, desk stand, windshield, and a little pouch to keep the recorder in. Basically it has everything you need to start making useful recordings.
If you're looking for a good general purpose semi-professional recorder I'd recommend this one.

Excellent little device and very easy to use. The insructions are well written and within a few hours of use you can pretty much understand all of the basic recording functions and have the device connected to a computer to download your first files.
I'm using the recorder to keep a record of rehearsals with a variety of bands from guitar duo to a full 5 piece. The quality is always good with almost no messing around. It doesn't seem possible to make a bad recording.
Recording your rehearsals and performances is the best way to appraise your progress as a muscian. Don't delay and buy one today!

The Zoom H2 is a decent portable recorder when using the internal microphones. With the 4 internal mics, it's perfect for recording people sitting around a table. It's pocket size means it's great for whipping out to capture ambient sounds when you're out and about.
The Zoom's external mic input, via 1/8" jack socket is extremely noisey. You really need to use it with high impedance mics to get a useable sound out of it. Hiss and noise reduction in an audio editor will help you a little.
The unit also has a 1/8" line input socket, unfortunately it's extremely sensitive, if you are recording off a mixer, you need to drop it's output quite low to avoid clipping and distortion.
You really need a seperate card reader to transfer your audio files to your computer. The H2 Zoom is only hi-speed USB, and not proper USB 2.0 so transfer speeds are only 1 meg per second.
The problem with all of these cheap type of portable audio recorders is that they all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you are looking for one that's good at recording using internal mics, then the H2 Zoom should be your weapon of choice. If line-in recording is a higher priority, then check out the Tascam DR-07 which is at a similar price.

Good recorder but has a big flaw.
I bought this for using during my work. It's a decent recorder, though wildly over-complicated. It takes a lot of setting up. Read more

Not a good option
This product is amazingly disappointing. The H4n is a much better option if you are considering a 'Zoom'. I own both and they are quite apart in just about every way. Read more

Zoom H2
Sound quality is amazing. The features are brilliant. It's a little tricky to navigate around the menu and the screen is very small. Overall a brilliant bit of kit.
