It's my second tascam portable recorder. Usb bus power capabaility is a step up from what i am use to. Comes with 3 aa batteries but i ordered the specified power adapter for full satisfaction.
Cons
No line level signal support, only microphone level, that's bad as attenuator i think must be cheap to implement. Binaural mics make a ground loop-like noise unless you ground yourself to the device by touching the mic capsules or by wiring yourself i... Read More
Negative - flimsy, battery lid falls out right out of the box, either use sticky tape to hold it or throw the lid away. Has been powering down and then not starting up again since month one of ownership. No phantom power no xlr access.
Even a normal room with an led bulb in the ceiling is enough to make it flip out. Its fussy about sd cards. Which are very small now. And its not intuitive.
Highlights
Quality
I've only tested it out with a couple of recordings, but the sound quality is phenomenally clear.
I receive this only a few days after ordering especially during this pandemic and very happy with the fast delivery.
Using the external speakers the sound quality is very thin.
Recording quality is good when you play through earphones but the built in speaker is of poor quality.
Price
To practice voice is a good choice and good price
Competitiveness
Perfect for me as a asmr streamer to record sounds and for travelling.
Perfect for making asmr content for youtube.

It is made of light plastic and the mics are not protected at all

The outlook is not so good to look at

Definitely overkill for the average youtuber or dictation user but for the price why not have the added value of not needing to purchase another product if you find you want to step up your sound game too
