Only thing better than these recorders was this review, 11/10 for effort m8.

Probably the most helpful comparison for the two recorders I've seen. Thank you

Thank you for letting your personality come through as you do what you do. I found you after the purchase of my DX40. I am also grateful for the time and energy that you placed into the history of the evolution of recording devises. Well done.

I went looking for more reviews and was sad there aren’t many more. I’d rather watch your review than anyone elses. Keep making them! You’re doing great.

Your content I find is very refreshing! It’s not to over the top but it’s fun! QUALITY!

As a guitarist, the entire bit where you play guitar & ukulele is HILARIOUS and exactly how I feel about most guitarists. I logged in just to comment on this!

One of the wellest made comparison on those two recorders. Bravo Sam, tremendously helped on choosing one.

Loved this review style. And really helpful information!

this was a really great video! Thank you for taking the time to make this!

Found you through your blogs, great video, really good reviews with insightful details.

Best review I've ever seen. Concise, informative, clear and entertaining. Really useful. Thanks.

Underrated channel, keep at it!

Super helpful, thank you for all of the details in this video and for the laughs 😄

I am keep coming back to this review time and time again.......it is so good.....

I bought the H4n (and 2 lesser models) around 2010 or so and it completely changed my life. As someone is talking and walking across the room it happens in the recording. It's amazing. Plus...the 50 really great effects!

Loved this review. I've seen 2 of your revies and you made me chuckle a few times. I like that :) I've made my decision, thank you!

I really appreciate this! I have been trying to decide between the two.

Great video. I ordered a 40x the other day. Really looking forward to using it in a variety of situations; live music, nature sounds, dialogue, etc.

Does noise bother you? I read reviews that there is too much noise

That was a really solid review. Thanks!

Great review! So informative!

Thanks. I've got another one in the works. Been working on the script for weeks. 🤦‍♂️

I find myself coming back to your review after so many years. Respect.

I loved this comparasion! Enjoyable and illustrative. I will go for the Tascam DR-40X!

Very helpful review. Thanks Sam.

very helpful review, thanks man. subbed

Excellent review that's the way a review should be, testing the equipment

Incredibly useful. Thanks, mate.

Ok, look I have h4n pro for several years now and have no real reason to know about DR40 now. But, hey this is by far the best recorder comparison video i have seen. Lot of information packed in. Top job.

The best product comparing video I have seen since long time. You made my day.!....great work! Thx & greets from Berlin

Great video! Informative and also funny!

Perfect video with deep info. Thank you.

Such an amazing comparison. Thank you for sharing in-depth information.

excellent review, exactly what I needed! thank you!

Best review on these audio recorders thank you

This is a perfect product review, thank you so much!

Nice video Sam, very informative and has helped me make a decision on which unit to get. Cheers

I went back and forth trying to decide between these two devices for over a week. Landed on the Tascam because of the line level setting. I’ve used it now for a few weeks. Very happy with it. If I had seen this video, I could have saved myself hours of internal debate. Thanks for putting out some good information!

Hi, have you by any chance used the Tascam to record audio from a mixer? How did you find it?

@tompass82

@@Valerick I currently use it in my jam room from the board with the onboard mics at the same time. Then afterwards I will mix both sets of stereo tracks together. Off of the board sounds very good! The room mics sounds great, but position in the room matters, as you might imagine. In short, yes. And it sounds great!

@@tompass82 so do you recommend it for recording a lecture with one microphone directly from the mixer?

Yeah i simply love the Dr 40X for me it has BBC Radio4 quality. H4n a bit to complicated

Love your style. Subbed! 👍🏿

What a great video, soo many different subjects, thank you!

Really good video! more than just a talking head review. Gets straight to the point and into comparisons without a bunch of blah blah blah and still managed to be entertaining while factual. Thanks!!

you make me feel good about my handwriting. Awesome video!

Like the way you demonstrate haha great review, I think I might be getting a H4n Pro, like the design more and the effects part is a big selling point for a guitarist like me!

Great tutorial. Very useful!!

Super helpful video - thanks!

I love your review!!! thank you so much

Thank you! Great review!

Incredibly helpful video. I now realize I don't want either one of these 😆 on to more research. Thank you so much!

THX SAM - GREAT REVIEW!

Hi Sam, Im from Poland and I want to thank you for your video, which really help me to make my choice. I saw many opinions and revies but yours was the best. Eventually I bought Zoom h4n. Good job, best regards!

Good review, thanks you very much!

straight up godlike review. I decided to go with Tascam as a music producer because I want it for field recordings. The rotatable range of stereo field is what sold me from your review

high quality, informative review lowkey Rickroll at 1:02 , nice m8

Great review Sam. Just subscribed to the channel.

dude, clicked on a bunch of videos. liked yours best. keep at it :)

oh man. What a comparison!! Thanks. I really really really appreciate the ''Here's what's the same about them''. It very super duper quickly helps people make choices. Like if you said once feature and someone's like ''oh yeah baby that's what I want'' but the other didn't have it then that's the decision made there and then. Instant subscribe.

Good explanation Bro! Thanks so much!

Thank you for a detailed and efficient review.

Thanks for your help, i decided to bought the dr40x as i need it in my ambient nature sound videos. appreciate very much ur review!

Great review. This made it clear to me that the Tascam is a better choice for me to record the audio of my dj sets.

Awesome! I watched several videos and was leaning toward Tascam. Now watching this video I'm thinkin about Zoom. Thanks for carefully showing pros and cons of each.

Sold me on the DR-40X. Thanks for the video! Super helpful.

It was ingenious review!

Nicely done. I own the H4n Zoom Pro and I'm quite happy with it

Thanks, this overview was very useful.

Great review!

I am missing your homepage! Thanks for detailed comparison!

Great video! Thanks a lot :D I feel happy with my DR-40X

Love the video. Please review ALL THE THINGS.

if every product comparison/review was this in depth AND easy to understand my life as a broke beginner filmmaker would be so much easier

Based on my needs (mainly used for recording a few musicians), I decided to buy the Zoom H4N. This was a great review because it provided a defined path to buy either one instead of just bashing on in favor of the other.

Damn good video! Best about handy recorders I've seen.

Thank you sir. Funny and helpful video!

great content!

Just came from your older video. Same charisma different video👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

very nicely done

awesome review thanks

Best review saw !

super thanks for such detail about these two audio recorders! I will goes to DX-40X now from h4N

niceeeee video good work thank you very muhc!

great video, thank you

Thanks for your video :-)

Awesome video! I'm interested in having one of these to support recording audio from my computer as I do tutorials (for KZread & clients). This would be cool for podcasting on the go instead of bringing a whole recording rig with me. Thanks for posting this!

Great review.

great video thanks!!!

Man this is a great video between the two! My H4n Pro headphone jack got broken, and I didn't like the Line/XLR jacks for recording from mixers, and the X/Y mics did not sound natural to me. So I'm going to give the Tascam a run for it. Thanks for this detail video! Sub'd !

Great video! Thank you! :-D

Great video.

Hello Sam! Great review, thanks a lot! One question though. This will be my first portable microphone and i'm going to use it mainly to record nature sounds which i will later use in music production. Which would be better for that? Cheers/ Marcus

best comparision on YT :) - thx

Like your style !

Just bought H4n pro, the most valuable information that you gave for me is the difference between XLR and 6.3 JACK, because I plan to record from a Mixer, also to hook up some lavalier so I know now what cables I need, thank you!

Nice Job, Sam, I really appreciate this comparison. You've helped me make my decision. With both recording devices being the exact same price, I was stumped. The Tascam DR-40X is better for my purposes. I wish you all the best. Another reason I like the D40x is that the controls are the same as with their other smaller models. No learning curve there :)

Does noise bother you? I read reviews that the noise is too much.

got the all black h4n pro.. yep, if i had to make some critiques it would be the startup speed and it runs kinda sluggish with that scroll-push wheel on the side

You are very funny yet so easy to learn from.

audio quality: 8/10 video quality: 4/10 demonstration quality: OVER 9000!!!!
