This review is from: Qwik Time QT7 Metronome (Electronics)

Since I'm a keyboard player I need a metronome that can be heard above all-out playing on a grand piano, so the loudness of this one is a plus as far as I was concerned. Otherwise, it has all of the basic features one would need, including an A-440 tuning note, and the price can't be beat (no pun intended).

Some noticeable drawbacks: first, although you can set the meter to duple, triple or quadruple, the different tone for the downbeat can't be disabled--i.e. you're forced to choose a meter. I have to say I find it easy to ignore the downbeat tone being in different places if one is practicing something that changes time signature, but someone else might not. Second, I had to replace the first one I bought when it failed after being dropped only a few inches from the music rack onto the piano strings--even something this cheap should be a little more durable. Finally, the push button on-off switch means that the thing can (and has, in my case) turned itself on when stuffed in a carry-on--an electronic beeping is not a good thing to hear on a crowded airplane :-). Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy.

Qwik Time Digital Metronome ' QWIQ7

I purchased this metronome to use as an aid while I walk for exercise. I like to walk to a steady beat. It works fine for this purpose.

I have two minor complaints. I suppose they could be major problems if one is using this metronome for music. These are:
1. I can't control the volume of the beat. It's very loud and hurts if I put my earphone all the way in my ear.
2. Notice that I said "earphone". The beat only comes out of the left earbud. This is not a problem for my use, but might be irritating to some.

It's a good product for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to use with students, December 14, 2010

I use this metronome with my beginner piano students. The different toned downbeat is an excellent tool to help the students know where the beginning of the measure should fall. The beat is nice and loud so they have no problem hearing it. It's simple to use and change the bpm--even my really young and inexperienced students can figure it out. I've had mine for about 6 years and it's still on it's original battery. It works wonderfully!
