If I read the articles of Zoom H2N, it is noted that it is a powerful device for a very affordable price compared to some competitors EXCEPT THAT these come with some at least of essential accessories such as windscreen and example / or handle to avoid handling noise such protective case or shell ... short. Compare what is comparable, as this product n.est even sold with its power supply (no charger because no possibilities to charge the batteries via the microphone). All that to say ... Cheap? Everything is relative ... So this package is essential and represents a price of 20% Zoom H2n !!!!
