I don't have anything better to compare it against, but I can vouch for the
build quality of mine; I have the H2:

I believe it's an electret capsule inside (?) and it's not super quiet, and
not being a frequent hydrophone user it's hard for me to tell what's the
typical noise floor of various environments, but I have made recordings I
like with it numerous times.
I got a long cable for it which has turned out (as I thought it might) to be
the right way to err. It's pretty microphonic though, you have to be careful
in running water...
best,
