1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap., October 28, 2005

The beat of this metronome is irritatingly loud, to the point where it distracts from the music you're trying to play. The LED display bouncing-ball pulse is muddy and difficult to tell when it's trying to beat. There's no volume control, only a mute button. It looks like it has a dial for bpm-adjustment (an extremely desirable feature) but it doesn't.

There is no power switch, resulting in terrible battery life.

A complete waste of money.

For a budget metronome, I suggest you check out the Korg MA-30, or if you want the dial (and can live without volume control) then the Matrix MR500 or Seiko SQ50 is a good choice.

This is a low quality metronome that is difficult to use and broke after two days of use. Do yourself a favor and spend a little extra money to get a higher quality metronome.

Its OK for the price, I guess. However, this particular model does not shut off. The voice can be muted. however, the digital display continues to flash to the timing you have set. The booklets says that even though the display is lite it does not harm the battery life. How can it not? Doesn't the digital display use energy, especially when you've set the timing? Had I know this, I probably wouldn't have bought it.
