At $49.99 I have never seen the zoom h1n so cheap maybe $70 not 50 I think it's an amazing deal if your looking for good cheap audio/voice recorder.

I have one of these mounted outside under an eave of my house hooked up to a raspberry pi running Birdnet-Pi to record and analyze the bird sounds in my yard. No batteries needed -- the H1n can draw all of its needed power from the rpi's USB bus, no problem. It's been running 24/7 since May 2022 throughout the cold New England winters and humid summers. Every time these go on sale for around this price I snag one and put together a birdnet-pi kit for a friend. The sampling rate even allows for some limited bat vocalization recording as well (but if you're trying to do that seriously, you're going to choose a much better-suited setup).

Absolutely fantastic devices for this price.
I really want to jump on this as I've been in the market for some time, but I'm trying really hard to only have USB-C devices in my life these days. Micro USB kills it for me.
Bought this on sale for $80 over 2 years ago. With how much everything has gone up in price since then, this is an insane deal. I attached mine to a mic stand with a pop filter and use it as a gaming mic.

The zoom h1n is known for be a great entry audio device whether you do music and want a device to record audio or video for external audio or even podcasting it's a great device and you get what you pay for plus zoom has a 1 year warranty and as long you pay shipping to them then will fix or replace your device.

Edit I realized it was on sale at this price 2 months ago but generally when it was on sale it was around $70.

Does anyone have any experience with this recording live concerts with stealth external microphones? Looking to get back into taping shows. I already have excellent microphones, I just need a budget recording device. Thanks.

Same here but got for I think $90. But totally agree it's good bang for the buck.

I canceled my order. 2-input recording means it records the left and right channel (stereo). I was hoping to use it for live performances and have the line-in record my bass guitar and the built in mic record the room. However when line-in is connected the built-in mic becomes disabled. I think I would need to upgrade to the H4n.

I've used it outdoors, but it needs a windscreen and will also pick up handling noise if you're holding it. You can plug a lapel mic into the aux in and keep the H1N in your pocket to be more stealth.

Does this recorder offer guitar effects/amps like older Zoom mics? I know you can plug into a MacBook as an interface for GarageBand, but my old zoom mic has effects when you plug a guitar into it.

OK. Now that's cool. How Hard is that to set up?
