In my experience, the H2 (a) is cheaply made and prone to breaking (b)
has terrible inbuilt mics and (c) only has a 3.5mm input, hence
requiring either an XLR->3.5mm adaptor or willingness to settle on a
substandard mic. For the additional money, the H4n performs *much*
better on all of these fronts. I still use H2s as emergency backups,
and they are certainly nice and lightweight/small, but the H4n really
does produce far, far better recordings!<br>

what the H4 costs. Can someone please explain what reasons there are
for not using the H2. Our language team uses H2s and we are happy with
the gadget. Are we missing something?
