    A very high quality recorder at a very fair price. Pre-amps are high quality and have plenty of power. Built in compression is pretty good. Has onboard editing features but the learning curve was a little high.
    Build quality is excellent, seems very durable. Sound is perfect, have used with Procaster, RE20 and NGT4+ with very nice results.

    One small negative is that unit uses batteries pretty fast, especially if you use phantom power.

    Quality equipment, versatility, multitrack, nothing to say.

    I give an opinion rather to contradict the opinion of "slanderous" that would have done better to read the instructions before returning in toto! Indeed, the bytes can so quite normal, the bounce too.
    Briefly before saying stupid things that can guide the choices of other users, read the instructions !!

    Personally I have not bought these particular features, but more for the extra compact recording concert or conference, quality is more than adequate, I think for the price (229 Euros in Audiosolutions) c is a downright bargain!
    XY capsule provided original offers a beautiful sonic accuracy, well-brilliant highs.

    In short I am delighted with this new device.

    I for one week.

    Selection criteria:
    Micro's good quality
    XLR
    Semi-professional quality
    Used as a USB sound card
    Compatible with my iPad
    Maximum budget 300 euro

    The H4n was not in stock in my favorite store, but the capsule demontable H5 is sexier
    Only direct competitor is the Tascam dr-44 wl, but the wifi ... Not for me.
    I've worked with Boss Micro Br and Zoom H1 for several months.
    This is much higher, there is no picture.
    Everything works well, the first test is inconclusive and breathless.
    Surprise: even the headphone preamp is without breath, better than my sound card Tc Electronic!
    Tip: To connect via USB to iPad, be sure to read the manual and activate th…

    Not yet enough experience to know if this is a repeat.

    I waited, waited, waited an offer that fits my budget.
    Having basically a h-4n that was stolen, I desperately waited an affordable opportunity for H-6 ...
    But zoom certainly heard my calls and marketed this gem available for a few weeks.
    This be part of the happy owners of the latest zoom brand, H-5 am.

    It is well thought out, fits perfectly in the hand, texture peach skin that covers it is nice and nothing to spoil it contains all the technical features of its big brother the H-6: multitrack 4 votes, even signal / noise, line out, headphone, battery or USB power, apart from the lcd screen which is smaller and appears in black and white, and the number of XLR / TRS, 2 instead of 4.…

    For 130 € less than the H-6 and only 30 € more than the H-4n, there is more to think about!

    Quality is at the rendezvous and the sound is really excellent. Much better than the H-4n. I also did not expect such a definition. The origination pickups are a formidable precision and reveal all that we do not even suspect the recording, it said. I found no saturation or distortion even at very high volume recording. All frequencies are well represented, compressor / limiter and make an effective miking becomes a real childish pleasure.
    It is automatically recognized on mac and requires no driver for the sound card as leverage or simply access the recordings on the SD card. It is also compatible with all Micro H-6 capsules, and there I almost lose my words.
    H-4n has lived and unfortunately for him, his successor is already there.

    I remake that choice without hesitation.
    Long live the H-5 and low hat Mister Zoom!
