Don't get me wrong, the Tascam DR-07 mkII is an awesome little recorder for the price. This package, however, is probably not worth your time. For an extra $30, (the Tascam DR-07 mkII usually goes for about $149.99) you are getting a worthless little tripod that I wouldn't trust to hold even the cheapest or lightest point and shoot camera. The bag is mehhh at best. My biggest complaint is the product title says "Tascam Headphones". This seemed odd to me as I wasn't aware that Tascam made headphones, but I went with it without researching. Don't be fooled like I was. The headphones are not Tascam, but Samson (model HP-10). They are almost decent, but are very rigid, plastic-y, and rather uncomfortable to wear. They fall of my head easily and never really feel secure. I'd save the $30 bucks, buy only the recorder and if you need them, get a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones instead. You'll end up paying about the same, and won't have a bunch of gear you'll never want to use.Buy Tascam DR-07 MKII Portable Digital Recorder with Case, Headphones, Tripod and Cables Now
I received the Tascam DR-07mkii very quickly and started to use it right away. I have a home recording studio set up in my bedroom and record alot of original music. I have many musician friends always asking to here some of my music and I don't burn to CD much or not at all. So, this recorder came in real handy for that purpose. I just record line in from my computer and presto, I have my recordings in hand that sound amazing. I don't see a problem with the line in input at all. The recordings are nice and clear and can be used in the place of demo CDs.Of course if there is any interest in any of the tunes they can be burned later.
It is also nice to have the case to carry the recorder with you and although the supplied Tascam headphones are not up to snuff for my liking, I have lots of headphones to use in their place and will just add these to the others.
Also, I have been able to capture some musical ideas in the early morning hours when an idea hits me. I just get up and grab a guitar and start to record. As a musician I'm sure most of us know those moments can get away from you and fade very quickly.
The battery life does not last very long and I have to invest in a power cord although you can power it through USB which I have yet to do. I am very pleased with this purchase.As a professor looking to do audio and video work with students and to conduct interviews in remote locations abroad, this is an ideal solution. Intuitive controls, easy integration with a Mac laptop (i.e. without any setup, it mounts as a drive when you plug in the USB cable to the laptop), and the sound quality was more than I expected. For the audiophile, I think this would be a great mobile solution and for the uninitiated to sound recording, a better solution than built-in mics within mobile devices. As a sidenote, I'd encourage anyone who wants the options of focused sound and broad, ambient sound to go with this choice versus the fixed, dual mic option from Tascam (the dr05 if I'm not mistaken). I thought I was going overboard getting the adjustable mics, but it really does make a difference in the end product. The bundle too is a bonus the bag is bulky and unnecessary for me, but the cables and tripod alone make up the price difference.

I'm a member of a barbershop quartet and I needed a decent recording device to bring to rehearsals that I could also use to playback during rehearsal time. So I needed a carrying bag that could handle a few things. The bag itself is very good. I wish it had a bit more padding, but it has oodles of pockets even a tiny Velcro pocket for the tiny memory card the device uses. The headphones seem good, and there is a 2.0 USB included which connects the device nicely to my Mac. However, the tripod is not so impressive (I suggest the Gorilla flexible mini-tripodJoby GP1-A1EN GorillaPod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)). Overall, I really like the bag because it holds many things, recorder directions, my Wowee speaker WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker for iPad, iPhone, MP3 Players, Laptops, Mobile Phones, and Personal Game Systems (Black) (I also suggest one of these if you like to playback during rehearsals), the tripod, various wires, etc. The whole shabang really isn't much more than buying the device alone, so I think it's worth the extra $$$ even if a few of the "accessories" will end up in the trash.
