Comments about Jammin HR-5 Handheld Digital Audio Recorder:
This is difficult to use. The manual is very poorly written and difficult to follow because it is not well explained. Important information is at the back of the manual instead of on the first page of the manual. For instance: at the back of the manual when it is going through an explanation of how to format the internal disk, there seemed to be an afterthought made about installing the software FIRST prior to formatting the disk....... I had to email the company and talk to a rep on the phone. He sent me a copy of the software over the internet and it doesn't work well and is difficult to use. The time I have put into using this thing and getting frustrated when attempting to download my recordings to the computer has not been worth the money or time. Save yourself some time and frustration by purchasing something else. Anything else.
Pros
- Excellent Sound
- Handles 32 GB SDHC cards
- Included tripod
- Low Distortion
Cons

Comments about Jammin HR-5 Handheld Digital Audio Recorder:
Bought this for both myself and wife to use. I wanted it to record off my mixer and our parish mixers. For my wife I wanted her to be able to records and play back her Choir practices.
It did not meet those needs so I returned the unit and I will get a different brand.
The whole unit is plastic and very lightweight and doesn't look like it will last long.
The built in stereo speakers sound terrible and at top volume setting you can barely hear playback in a quiet room.
Getting between menu sections is hard and often have to power off and on to do so.
Adjustment buttons are very loud so make sure you have it set how you want before beginning to record.
Recorded sound was great via internal mikes or line input. Play back over a decent pair (not the included earbuds) of headphone or when piped to mixer or external powered speakers was also very good. I almost kept the unit because of the sound. That was until the unit froze the 4th time in 2 hours. That's when I packed it back up and started the RMA process. Prior to this it had locked up two other times in 2 days.

Comments about Jammin HR-5 Handheld Digital Audio Recorder:
The recorder is pretty simple to operate, and the sound quality is good; full-range from low to high. The visual indication of recording levels is very handy indeed.
Using the memory that comes with it, you need to change out of "highest quality" setting or your record time is very limited.
All in all, this is a good tool that does what it claims to. A few minutes of study should allow any operator to use it effectively.
