 Zoom H6 Handy Recorder Review

Really satisfied customer
By Susan Lim 05/04/2017

I am really happy every time I use this great Zoom H6 recorder for my daily recording usage in my work both overseas and in Singapore. Strongly recommending this Zoom H6 recorder!


This is a great product
By Eric Lee 30/03/2017

This audio quality was excellent. It is very responsive if you've ever used any kind of multi-track recorder. The menu system is very simple. Only thing negative was lack of jam-sync-able time code. But I am good with this kind of pricing.


Great recorder, value for money
By GT Tan 22/02/201

Versatile recorder, good sound quality for the price, good battery life. I still rate the Zoom H6 Handy Recorder high despite the fact the the 3.5mm stereo line is on the X/Y mic rather than the recorder body itself.


Perfect for both beginner and expert!
By Daniel Toh 16/02/2017

I purchased the H6 to record speaking events and interview style videography for my university course projects. This was my first Zoom product and I could use it to do almost everything I wanted within minutes. It is a great product and I will share that great experiences with my NTU and NUS peers.
