Delivered on a Saturday and unboxed in a car, whilst parked-up at the seaside on Easter Saturday. I had brought with me a couple of rechargeable AA batteries and a suitable Micro SD card and set-it up on the dashboard, adjusted the recording level and pressed the record button.
When I got home, I switched the headphone output to Binaural, plugged in a pair of Audio Technica cans and pressed the Play button.
The sound quality was stunning, but I appeared to be talking behind myself and to my right. I then read the manual,, or at least parts of it and discovered that what I thought was the front, where the LCD panel is, was in fact the back of the unit. During the recording I had been sitting in a right-hand drive car, in the driver's seat with the Zoom H3-VR on the middle of the dashboard.
Upon further manual reading, I discovered that on playback if you turn the device, it moves the sound accordingly, so with a bit of hand twisting I was listening to myself speaking directly to me, in front of me!!!!!
I was utterly gob-smacked. I would have bought one of these when they first came out if I'd only known how spectacularly good this was.
I've also ordered an enormous dead cat and the optional Bluetooth adapter.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
