I’ve previously just used metronome apps on my phone, but often times this has been a challenge as I’m also using my phone for reading guitar music at the same time. It’s nice to have these separate. This metronome does the job. It’s missing some features, but overall it is very useful. I appreciate the added features of different time signatures and triplets.

We have here a digital metronome shaped like the traditional wind-up ones that are ubiquitous on home piano-tops around the world. That's a nice concept, and worthy of three stars if it replicates all of the features of a wind-up metronome -- tapping out tempos at different bpms with associated tempo markings (andante, allegro, etc.).This metronome gains two stars for adding several features: bpm settings you can change by 1 bpm intervals (120, 121, etc.); the ability to plug headphones in and adjust volume; the ability to change the meter from 2/4 to 9/4 time; the ability to set "between-beat" pulse clicks so it doesn't just count "1-2-3-4", it can count "1-and-uh-2-and-uh" for triplets, and so on. They want the feature of a voice counting "1-2-3-4" to be a feature but I find it annoying. At least you can turn it off and rely on the typical "BEEP-bop-bop-bop" metronome sounds. Finally, the unit is rechargeable so doesn't have to stay plugged in.I'll dock a star, however, for the following reasons: first, visually, the thing is ugly. Care was always given to mechanical metronomes to make them "handsome", to blend in with your furniture, with the elegance of your piano. This thing looks like a Sharper Edge gizmo from 1990. How about at the very least give it a silver front piece/cover that you can keep on it when it's not in use, like a mechanical metronome? Perhaps make it magnetic so it just snaps on. Second, most basic metronomes in 2025 give you different choices of click sounds to choose from, and since this is digital, the manufacturers could have easily thrown 3 or 4 other settings in the unit's memory to choose from as the click sound. The one they chose is very abrasive and unnatural-sounding. Finally, another basic digital metronome feature is "tap tempo". You tap on a button rhythmically and the unit detects the approximate tempo you're using and sets to that tempo. It's VERY useful, especially if your metronome is set to, say, 108, and your next song is 164... tap tempo helps get you there way faster, and it's a feature that could have been built into a unit like this.

I ordered this electronic metronome to use while practicing guitar. I have a full size mechanical one, but it’s too bulky and awkward to use. This is a lot smaller in size. In fact, it’s small enough to fit in the storage box of my acoustic guitar case. The display is bright, and it’s easy and intuitive to use. It’s simple to adjust beat, tempo, and rhythm. I like the volume adjustment. The ticking sound is very electronic sounding, which is the only negative about this metronome. The voice setting is even more annoying, but it’s easy to disable. The unit uses a rechargeable battery that charges with an included USB-C cable.Overall, this is a nice little metronome that is ideal if your space to practice limited.

I really like this digital metronome. It's shaped like a traditional metronome but it's about half the size. I like that has a nice bright lighted display and it's loud enough to use with most instruments and the volume is adjustable in case you want it louder or quieter. There are several selectable rhythms and they are illustrated on the display screen. I'm very happy with this metronome.

I found this a to be a pretty good metronome. For me, I just needed something that would give me a single beat at various tempos and with volume control. This certainly does that. But if you want to change the beat to match the time signature of your piece you can do that (marches, 4/4, waltz, 6/8, etc.).I found the beeps it makes to be a little too "electronic" though. I was hoping for a more natural sound. If you set the beat to 0, you do get a beat sound that's kind of like a mechanical metronome. If you change the beat to 1 or greater, you'll hear a high pitch ping every bar followed by the beat sound. The high pitch ping isn't that pleasant to my ear but you'll definitely hear it. Since I don't need the rhythm feature I just set the beat to 0 and it's good for me.The display is nice and clear, it's easy to use, and the battery lasts a long time. I don't personally use the voice counting feature (e.g., "one two three four one two three four"), but there are probably students who might appreciate hearing it in this way. It's like having your music teacher there counting out the beats.
