It is sad that Zoom does not provide accessories for H2n the way they do for H4n.
I ordered the accessory kit along with my zoom recorder and I'm very happy with the product. It worked out to be $ 30 cheaper than buying the kit separately. I know I have everything I need and it's super awesome to get 8 GB memory card. There's also a two GB memory card that comes with the recorder while this vendor throws in a class 10 superfast memory card along with the kit. You also get a few additional cables and earphones.
I tried few test recordings yesterday and am very happy with the quality of the audio. I confidently recommend this product and this is the best option if you're planning to buy the accessory kit along with the zoom recorder.
None better for Field recording for PODCASTING!,

For most of your podcasts, you'll want mono, so set the little top mic setting for xy or MS (mid side-- stereo plus cardioid), and you'll get the best cadioid pickup for the buck anywhere. This unit is specifically designed for field work, conferences, concerts, interviews, etc. and the recorder syncs flawlessly with both Audacity and Sony sound forge.
Use xy for single interviews or group q and a, and 2 channel (premixed) for bigger conferences. Most podcasts are in mono, so even xy/ cardioid is a little overkill, the quality is so good on this. Be sure to set the hold feature, which disables everything but mic gain during recording so you don't accidentally push something! A mic gain at 5 to 6 works perfects for conferences, workshops and one on one interviews. I've only tried this for a few concerts, and they came out excellent, but I'd guess journalism and interviews are the primary niche for this little gem. One caveat: if you pick 4 channel...Read more
