Much better on the HF bands than the V3
I purchased the RTL-SDR V4 to upgrade from the V3 which I've had for over a year. I usually listen to the HF amateur bands and the V4 seems to be much better in this regard - less noise and interference and better sensitivity. I don't have a great setup - just a long-wire antenna about 13 meters long in the back garden but have heard contacts from all over the world. The unit does get very warm in use and, even though they say this is normal, so as not to shorten it's life I have attached an extra heatsink so that it now runs much cooler. I have tested it on the air bands, marine bands and commercial bands and all work just fine with clear reception. If you already have a V3 for listening to HF and are thinking of upgrading I'd suggest this is a good purchase especially for the price. There is less benefit to UHF, VHF etc so if this is your usual listening range the V3 is probably already more than adequate.

Very stable crystal
Very easy to install and update the dll files required for v4.Due to stable crystal frequencies are spot on - no more need to compensate for being off frequency. Fairly sensitive on my outdoor antennas. Good price to get a wide band receiver provided you use good software on PC.An led would be good to have to show when power on usb.

Excellent!
Plugged in, downloaded some software, read the manual, plugged in an antenna, done. Working really well. Doesn’t get too warm, great value for money. Signals are clear, I did buy an LNA too, this helped reduce the gain settings. It will be use for a longer cable run I’m planning. So far all good, if you want to get into SDR, it’s a great starting point.

Decent SDR Receiver
These are well known bits of kit and do their job well. I haven't had a chance to test the Direct Sampling on this which is meant to have improved. Delivers a marked performance boost over my v3!

Better than v3
It's very sensitive with a very low noise floor. I purchased this because my HackRF wasn't much good below 15 MHz, but this RTL-SDR V4 covers the HF bands very well. I'm keeping the HackRF for its ability to transmit.
