Also, the Olympus LS-14 skyrocketed in price recently, so we replaced it with the newer - and some might say better - LS-P2.

Elsewhere, the Zoom H1n got a nice little upgrade that kept it in the top three, but the Roland Studio got its own upgrade, and fell a few spots due to issue with its USB power feature. That's mainly due to difficulties that arise from its preamps, which prevent that high-quality recording from tracking at high enough volumes at times. Despite its recording quality, the Tascam DR-100 MkIII took a big hit, dropping a handful of spots from number one. Its size and feature set are hard to beat. Given the fact that the Zoom H4n has become the go-to recorder for so many situations - from film sets to field recording sessions - it very easily climbed to the top of our list.

Consider an upgrade like the Shure MV88 for clearer sound. Recording on a smartphone is always an option, but the mics are generally lower quality than those on a dedicated device.

Audio recording doesn't have to be expensive - budget-friendly options like the Absetshop HD and Sony ICD-PX470 still have enough features for many buyers. If you use your recorder more for interviews or meetings, a smaller handheld model like the Sony ICD-UX560 will do the job well. Like the Tascam DR-40X, it can handle multiple external microphones, making it a good pick for podcasters and musicians. The Zoom H4n Pro remains a favorite, as recent generations have added locking XLR inputs and higher-quality preamps.

Our latest update replaces obsolete models with newer versions, most of which see small but important improvements. Digital audio recorders tend to advance in increments rather than leaps and bounds.
