+ Price
+ Very easy operation
+ Very long running time with only one AA battery
+ Nice handy - ideal for one-handed operation
+ Virtually no noise visible
+ Good directivity
- Haptics - used really very simple and cheap looking plastic
- Extremely sensitive to wind - go even normal can be heard clearly. Outdoors on the H1 is only limited use or only by totally calm conditions. A high-quality Deadcat windbreak should be. Such small Wuschelkopf the you can buy for about 25 Euro not really bring much relief.
- By not so much asked in the foreground processing, the recorder is also very sensitive to touch during recording. For example, the release of the REC button is always very good to hear.
- Timbre bass-heavy - Well, that may be a matter of taste but I will deep tones shown clearly too much low. In an interview this may not stand out but in my case, road, engine sound, marine diesel, etc ... I was scared right about the sometimes extreme bass.
- Through the good directivity unfortunately I lack something the spatial
I have the Zoom H1 sent back and replaced by the new Zoom H2N and am completely satisfied now.
