Hello and glad to see you back here. I bought the h1e and only kept it for a few days before sending it back. You didn’t mantionned the horrible self noise of this recorder !! May be it was mine that had a problem? I havé the h1n for a few years now and love it so much because it’s always in my bag and îthink that for the price it’s way beter that the etential. I’m happy I didn’t sell it before to trie the h1e. Have a Nice day or night and see you soon for the next vidéo.
@@benjaminlachenal2822 Thank you so much for watching. Hmm, the recording in these videos are original and only normalized because I can’t set gain on the spot. I don’t have any self noise issues noticed. Is it possible you’re referring to the headphone amplifiers? They are indeed a little weak but this won’t affect the recordings itself.
@ I agree that headohone noise is not so good but i also made few recordings with it and had a loooot of noise. May be it was my recorder that had a problem.
What exactly were you trying to record, and how did you edit the files afterward? Did you end up normalizing the levels quite a bit? Sometimes, boosting the levels too much in post can bring up unwanted noise, so I’d be curious to hear more about your process and what adjustments you made!
I started watching your videos because i wanted to learn about sound recording, but now i watch them as much for how pleasant you are and to see the sights and sounds of Asia!
Great to see you back here - as always great audio and videography! I am thrilled about the H3VR :). Just one feedback: Please do not crop left and right from the soundscape parts. The "old" effect just narrowing top and bottom was perfect and kinda signature of you. Cropping both just feels boxed and tiny instead of wide and makes me zoom in on my smartphone all the time.
Hi! Ohh, I assume you’re flipping the phone screen horizontally? We don’t use side boxes, but I just checked, and it automatically adjusts this way, so it can look like it’s boxed. If you watch on a TV, you’ll see the bars are only at the top and bottom. Let me know and thanks for being here!
I miss you. I have the first H1 and it still serves me well. Great video. Don't wait too long to make another one. Hugs to Marcel and Libby from Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil
Audience from HK👋🏻 just bought a H1 essential XLR to replace my F2, it have everything I need for wedding/ event filming, and the design look really cool
Yeah, they are back again 😀 I hope you guys are doing good. Thanks for another great video, combining beautiful landscape with field recording. Viele Grüße - Til.
Welcome back! Thank you for the new windscreen suggestion. I'm also having trouble finding a Geophone microphone here in the States. Do you have any alternative recommendations?
Hi! This is a bit tricky because I know the LOM Geofons are hard to come by, and I’ve seen a few alternatives. However, I prefer not to highlight them as they seem to be heavily inspired by LOM’s design. Instead, I’d recommend keeping an eye out for the original LOM Geofons.
Nice to have you back! How would you compare the noise performance of this new recorder to the older H1n? I'm looking for a small device to take with me but feel that the older H1n has a bit too much of a noise floor.
Hi! We just ordered a stereo bar that should arrive soon, so I’ll start recording with both mics at the same height and placement. I think the results will depend on how we handle gain levels and post-production. From what I read in the field recording community on Reddit, the noise floors for both are supposed to be pretty similar, but we’ll have to see. Should be interesting to compare!
Hi there! Absolutely! A suspension kit acts as a buffer between your hand and the recorder, which helps minimize handling noise. When you hold a handy recorder directly and walk while recording, it can pick up rumble and unwanted noises from the movement. With a suspension kit, you can easily avoid this. We use one from Rycote, which is quite pricey, and some models aren’t even available anymore. But I found a budget-friendly alternative from Movo that offers options for the H1n, H1e, and other smaller field recorders. If you’re aiming for cleaner audio, I highly recommend getting one. Also, I’ve been in touch with Radius Windshields, and hopefully, they’ll develop their own version soon. Let me know if that helps, or feel free to message me here on UA-cam if you have more questions!
Thank you so much! It’s going to be difficult to use the AmbiX recording since I would have to decode it into 6-channel recordings. But since we don’t film in 360, I’m not sure if that works. However, I will be creating 5.1 tracks, stereo, and stereo binaural tracks for different video locations. Should be fun! :)
Thank you, Marcel, for your amazing videos. Is the Zoom H1e better than the Zoom H1n? Is the 32-bit floating point worth switching from my Zoom H1n to the Zoom H1e? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hi! This is a tough one because I wanted to wait until I have my A-B stereo bar to start comparing. Not having gain control on the H1e is something I need to get used to. Recording in default mode on the spot means more work for me in post, but I enjoy the editing process much more now than I did two years ago. The sound quality may not be drastically different, but with the cannon example, I would have to set the gain low with the H1n and maybe use a limiter. Since there was also a bell ringing, if I recorded it in 24-bit and later cut the file to create separate parts, I’d likely introduce noise when raising the level. With the 32-bit, I split the recording into three parts-1. Bell Ring Before, 2. Cannon Fire, and 3. Bell Ring After-without having to stop the recording and adjust the levels each time. So, with 32-bit, I ended up with three separate files, all properly normalized.
@@FreeToUseSounds Thank you so much for all these explanations! For beginners like me, I feel like choosing 32-bit equipment is a good idea. What do you think?
Hello. So cool to see you back ;] I missed your videos, even though I have your sound library to enjoy, the new recordings are just amazing! Still been waiting to see an update since new H1 came out. I am still enjoying your previously suggested H1n ( also needs all of those small tools ), but I wanted to ask if you think the H1e is a significant upgrade to H1n? Thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for checking in! As for sound quality, I don’t think there will be a significant difference, but I’d like to wait until I have all the gear to make a fair comparison. We ordered an A-B stereo bar, so we’ll be able to set both recorders side by side for testing. I do think 32-bit on this small recorder is great for sound processing and having more editing flexibility. As I mentioned in another comment about recording the cannon, in the video, you only see the cannon firing. But in this continuous moment, I also recorded the bells before and after. I edited the three parts as separate tracks by normalizing them individually. The person handling the cannon left only a few seconds between the sounds, so there wasn’t time to stop, adjust gain, and restart. With 24-bit, I’d risk clipping the cannon or having the bell too low. Raising the gain on a 24-bit recording might add more noise, whereas 32-bit gives me just more headroom. We’re currently in Xiamen, but we’ll be back in Hong Kong in about a week. I’ll upload these recordings and more with a new update so you can download and check them out. For now, the internet connection isn’t strong enough to handle all these GBs of files. You get the Gumroad newsletter right?
@@FreeToUseSounds Thats amazing. And yes I am getting the Gumroad newsletter ;] Also, again wanted to thank you for taking your time to reply and helping out!!
I thought I saw you the other day in tsuen wan but you were recording so didn't want to bother you - welcome back to youtube and missed your content so much!
Oh my gosh, yes, that was us! Our hotel was in Tsuen Wan. We’re in Xiamen now but heading back to Hong Kong next week. We decided to stay another week since we bought the Voyage Audio second-order microphone, but unfortunately, it has a hardware failure. They’re sending us a new one to Hong Kong. Where did you spot us? Was it on a bridge by chance?
@@FreeToUseSounds No it wasnt the bridge but rather I saw you across the street next to the park (around 02:50) - your mic was super obvious so I knew you were recording. I was actually around doing some recording for myself with a pair of OKM + Zoom H1n
@@kenneth1234568 Ahh, this park! We loved seeing the cute turtles, but we also witnessed someone releasing a fish into the water, despite signs indicating that this isn’t recommended. It would have been great if you had come up to us! :)
@@FreeToUseSounds Yes its defintiely not encouraged and to some extent forbidden to release fish in the water but unfortunately people here arent following it very tightly :) will definitely come and say hi if I do see you next week!
@ the bit where you were recording the waves reminded me of when my Sony M10 Sonny nearly died a while back after getting dragged off into the water. That was a sudden wave from a ship 🚢 that caught it. Lesson learned the hard way there - but thankfully Sonny had the capsules replaced and was cleaned out internally and is good as new. Definitely a good point to make though to avoid that happening haha.
Welcome to China again, I look forward to your continued update of the China series of recordings (I'm sorry I'm a lazy person). Enjoy the travel, the scenery and the food, and I wish you all the best.
1st comment , welcome back to YTB , i saw many videos about Zoom product of u , as one of local distributor in VN , ur video is one of the best way i use to demostrate to our foreign customer :D Thanks for great videos !
I would like to ask if the device self-noise level is really as bad as mentioned in other reviews? I'm considering buying an H1e, but this scares me a bit. Thank you for your videos.
Hi! When listening to the sound examples in our video, did you find the self-noise to be noticeable? If you’re looking to record similar sounds, I don’t think you’ll run into any issues. The spectrograms of the files look good, too. While it might not be the best choice for quiet room tone recording, it’s great for recording daily life ambiances. Ultimately, it’s important to make your own decision, and don’t let negative opinions hold you back from recording the environment around you. I hope our video provided a different perspective!
Libby here! I'm using the Osmo Pocket 3 with 4K 24fps at 1/50 shutter and the ISO at this time was from 50-800. I think I had the WB around 4600? No tutorials :)
Thanks for sharing your experience! So far, we haven’t noticed any self-noise issues with this recorder in our videos. It might depend on the recording environment, but it’s been solid for us. And good news-we’ll be doing a comparison video soon, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it performs in different settings.
Great to see you both back after all this time !! Nice video. I've been using my H1e a bit lately too and I'm quite happy with it. Did you just buy it to review ? I guess there's not that much difference using this or the Tascam X6 and they're both small, but I'd probably expect a better result from the X6. I've been wondering whether I should buy the X6 or not, and can't make my mind up. Maybe an idea for a video or a small part in one of your videos ...... H1e v X6 ? Anyway, once again, good to see you back finally.
Hi Simon! With the Prime Deal sale, it was a no brainer for us to buy it. It’s good to have another small recorder but it’s also a push for us to make new UA-cam videos. Just ordered a AB stereo bar so we can make accurate comparisons videos.
Hey Marco! Funny timing-we actually have the Roland CS-10EM with us but haven’t tested it out yet. We’re planning to try it when we compare the H1n and H1e. Just ordered a new A-B bar too, so it’ll be easier to flip between the two!
I see that you're using the same phones that I love to use also. These Sony headphones are the best. I buy them used for almost nothing and rebuild them. The only thing I can't buy is the head band. Everything, the cushions, the cable and the drivers are available.
Hello Andres, It really comes down to what you need from a recorder and how you plan to use it. For us, the H1 Essential has been a good choice for recording everyday sounds we’re after. It’s reliable, easy to use, and sounds great for the price!
Hi! Thanks for pointing that out-it’s a fair critique. Handling noise can definitely be an issue with handy recorders, especially when used without stabilization. That’s actually one of the reasons I moved away from handheld recording as even the best handy recorders can pick up handling noise. In our video, we showcased gear designed to avoid these issues. If handling noise is affecting your recordings, you could consider investing in equipment that minimizes it. If you’re after cleaner sound, a bit of an upgrade can make a big difference. 😊
Some very cool sounds, but all of the recordings have such a strong ambient rumble that doesn’t exist in actual space. Every one sounds like a factory. Even the shoreline.
Thank you for your feedback-it really helps us understand different perspectives! I’m curious about what you mean by “doesn’t exist in actual space,” but I can see how the recordings might come across as industrial. These are authentic, unaltered recordings of Hong Kong, which has a very distinctive, bustling soundscape. The shoreline you mentioned actually does have industrial sounds nearby-there was a factory just to the left. The ambient rumble might simply reflect the unique vibe of Hong Kong’s urban and coastal environment.
@@NatureSoundTrips I totally agree with your point of view, but sometimes "being able to record is more important than recording well". I have many sets of recording equipment. If conditions permit, I will bring a recording car and a recording bag, but sometimes I can only bring a portable handheld recorder. For this price, I think the sound quality is acceptable, especially for a newcomer to recording, it is a good start.
I hear you, and I agree that it would be great if these devices came with some basics included. Unfortunately, this is becoming more common these days. The good news is that you don’t need all the add-ons we use, and the online market offers plenty of options to make it more cost-effective, letting you customize the setup you need.

良いレビューをありがとうございます！Zoom M2 のような電磁波由来のノイズもなくて、1/4inchのカメラアクセサリが使えるから、使いやすいですね！
ご確認いただき、誠にありがとうございます。はい、問題は見つかりませんでした。ヘッドフォンアンプにわずかなノイズがありますが、大きな問題ではありません。
You glazed over the major handling noise issue associated with that recorder...
Hi! Thanks for pointing that out-it’s a fair critique. Handling noise can definitely be an issue with handy recorders, especially when used without stabilization. That’s actually one of the reasons I moved away from handheld recording as even the best handy recorders can pick up handling noise.
In our video, we showcased gear designed to avoid these issues. If handling noise is affecting your recordings, you could consider investing in equipment that minimizes it.
If you’re after cleaner sound, a bit of an upgrade can make a big difference. 😊

Some very cool sounds, but all of the recordings have such a strong ambient rumble that doesn’t exist in actual space. Every one sounds like a factory. Even the shoreline.
Thank you for your feedback-it really helps us understand different perspectives! I’m curious about what you mean by “doesn’t exist in actual space,” but I can see how the recordings might come across as industrial. These are authentic, unaltered recordings of Hong Kong, which has a very distinctive, bustling soundscape. The shoreline you mentioned actually does have industrial sounds nearby-there was a factory just to the left. The ambient rumble might simply reflect the unique vibe of Hong Kong’s urban and coastal environment.
Zoom H1 Essential HAS SHITTY PREAMPS....
Is it much worse compared to zoom f3?
@@MarcoBrianza if you want record silent environment it is significant difference
@@NatureSoundTrips I totally agree with your point of view, but sometimes "being able to record is more important than recording well". I have many sets of recording equipment. If conditions permit, I will bring a recording car and a recording bag, but sometimes I can only bring a portable handheld recorder. For this price, I think the sound quality is acceptable, especially for a newcomer to recording, it is a good start.
@@lawrenceqin8890 Yes, you are right
Speaks volumes to me that you need so many addons to get this device to function properly. Failed board room product imo.
I hear you, and I agree that it would be great if these devices came with some basics included. Unfortunately, this is becoming more common these days. The good news is that you don’t need all the add-ons we use, and the online market offers plenty of options to make it more cost-effective, letting you customize the setup you need.
