git yerself one.
But so far, I like it, with a few qualifiers:
The Good:
the sound is great. I've had some older Zoom model recorders, and they've generally had great sound. As the mic is the most important part for that, this appears to be no different.
This is more convenient than a regular recorder however since you can record with it and immediately email the file out to the cloud or a computer. This outweighs the negatives, which I will now elaborate on.
The Bad:
1st. The biggest negative IMO is that it's not terribly well designed for attaching onto an iphone 7, or any i-device for that matter. the entirety of the mount is strictly the lighting port itself. given that this is a stress point, i don't know how long this is going to last in the long run. you would think they would have accounted for this somehow but nope. This also means there's no real good way to mount the device in a mic stand or anything.
Also, forget having your phone in any kind of a case and attaching this thing. it won't attach tightly enough (if at all) if there's any kind of case around the connection. Poor physical design overall, IMO. The best possible solution would probably be getting an extension cord or something, but then you have the mic head piece just dangling off the end. meh.
2nd. The software is problematic. it's not *terrible*, all the basic functions work, BUT it's buggy:
For example, i had bluetooth headphones running when i plugged this thing in. recording worked fine, but when it would go back to playback there was silence. it seemed to me that it wanted to play out of the headphone jack attached to the iq6, not the iphone. when i unplugged the iq6 it would ONLY play out of the iphone's speaker, so if i wanted to playback the audio, i'd probably need to either plug in a speaker to the audio jack, or email it to my cloud and play it from there. Overall this is pretty annoying. i guess the alternative is using a conventional recorder which would involve jacking the recorder into my computer, which is far less convenient, but the whole point was to take advantage of the software and i wasn't impressed.
so: forget wireless speakers for monitoring. forget *monitoring* unless you plug into the zoom's headphone out jack.
The clicking does NOT go away no matter whether airplane mode is on, wifi is off, bluetooth is off, cellular is off, or any combination of thereof. The problem persists whether you use Voice Memos or the Handy Recorder app.
The sound quality is slightly better than the built in mic, but this mic seems to be ruining my recordings in a different way. Lateral moves are not worth the money; spend yours on a higher quality product.
If I have a caveat, it's that I did not practice sufficiently with the mic and the app before trying to capture meaningful audio. The result was that everything sounded great through my monitor but the gain was set VERY low in the app and thus my audio was very quiet in playback on other devices. That's on me, and so it doesn't affect my rating. Instead, I want to emphasize that this is a great investment, I'm glad I made it, and I wish I had done more experimenting with it first to familiarize myself with the features.
