<p>I bought the H2 a couple of years ago for my son to use, and it has seen more then its share of abuse, etc, and continues to function perfectly. I can’t give enough praise to this unit (which I think is cheaper now then it was when I bought it), the flexibility and the recording capability amazes me. The built in microphones work wonders, and it can record in a variety of formats, including native and various MP3 formats. You also can do surround recording (front/rear) or front only, and can set the angle of recording as well (90 degrees, 120, so forth). It records on mini sd memory cards, and I suspect you can record a long time, even in native formats, with the 8 and 16 gig ones now available. </p>
<p>My son is critical when it comes to sound quality, knows a ton more then I do, and absolutely loves it, and he has used it with both his macbook and our family pc, with no problems. Also comes in handy for stealth recordings since it is so compact (little bigger then a deck of playing cards) :)</p>
<p>Anyway, based on my experience with it, I can’t recommend it enough</p>
