Bellow the expectations, but still good!

Ugentu 27.06.2025

I've waited for the updated, "pro" version for several years and bought it as soon as possible.
The first impression was disappointing, as the device made a lot of cracking noises when held in the hand, due to the battery block being loosely covered. Adding more rubber foam under the cover helped a bit. The overall feeling is still quite too plastic for this price.

Regarding the sound quality, I'm also quite surprised to get a constant, shallow hum with both internal and external microphones. RX Noise reducers helped to get usable results, but I expected it to be better. For the sensitive tracks, I'll still use my RME in the studio.

Maybe I've just expected too much from the next-gen converters, while it's still just a portable field recorder.

Excellent sound quality

Audiogram78 09.06.2025

I've owned the Zoom H5, H1N, H1 Essential, and I currently own the F3

Compared to the H5, the self noise seems lower, handling noise is a little worse. The mics are much larger and the recorder body is substantially larger but a little lighter. The sound is more detailed. The mics also seem more sensitive.

Display is an improvement. Like that they kept AA batteries instead of some non-replaceable lithium batteries

It's plastic bodied and the mics are rather exposed with no cage, so try not to drop it. Otherwise recommended

Funktionen super, Verarbeitung mäßig

Traktur 14.06.2025

Super Recorder. Hat eine hervorragende Mikrofonqualität. Auch die Bedienung und Menüführung ist logisch und einfach aufgebaut. Das einzig negative ist die etwas billige Verarbeitung. Das gesamte Gehäuse ist aus Plastik und die integrierten Lautsprecher sind nicht zu gebrauchen. Für den Preis hätte auch eine Transporttasche dabei sein können. Aber an sich ein super Recorder.

Zoom h5 studio

De Maistre 19.07.2025

Entièrement satisfait. Qualité sonore optimale : les nouveaux micros couplés aux nouveaux preamplis offrent une qualité d’image sonore inédite sur ce genre d’enregistreur.
Ergonomie excellente.
Le menu et l’édition sur l’écran sont également très bien faits comparés aux modèles antérieurs : tout y est dans ce dernier extrêmement lisible (waveform, niveaux, pistes actives).
Certains iront pinailler sur le côté plastique du boîtier...à titre personnel Ça ne me dérange pas.( il reste élégant et très bien fait dans l’ensemble).
Enthousiaste donc pour les futures années de travail en sa compagnie.
