Stupid product design June 16, 2008
I was shopping for a very simple metronome that just keeps time with a relatively loud clicking sound. I had a QuickTime metronome before that worked well (yes, you always start at 100 BPM and then adjust it up or down, which is a bit annoying), and therefore thought this one would work for me, as well.
However, this metronome has been designed to beat in a meter: either 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4. You have to pick one of those three meters, and the metronome will then click with a higher pitch on either every second, third, or fourth beat. This makes the metronome completely useless for anyone practicing music in odd or changing meters. The meter function would be fine if it were optional, but you can't turn it off.
If you KNOW that you will never play music with odd or changing meters, this metronome might work well for you, but more advanced players should stay away.
Ditto the rest... March 31, 2008
I can't believe I purchased such a horrible product. I was tinkering around with learning piano 2 years ago and purchased it. I was surprised the battery had ran out, since I had not used it much. Then I changed the batter and within days it needed another new battery. Ave your money and purchase a better model.
Terrible October 17, 2007
The beat is very loud. When I want to turn it off, it won't turn off. And, when I try to set to a certain speed, it will jump to another speed without people touching it. Weird! Waste of money!
Quickly broke. January 23, 2007
We went with Amazon's cheapest Metronome and quickly proved the old adage "You get what you pay for."
This model worked for a day or two, then it started to revert back to 100 beats per minute shortly after we set it to any other BPM.

When the battery gets low - which happens quickly - tempo settings reset when you turn on the sound. The sound is quiet. The buttons are hard to work with. Don't buy this product, you'll thank yourself.
