   Because this met goes down to 30 beats per minute,
   
   it is one of the few available that can be used
   
   with slow Blues music.

   The size is that of a pack of cigarettes,
   
   but only about 1/4-inch thick or less. Nice & small.
   
   It will probably fit in any musical intrument case.

   The sound is a lower beep, not a click or tic.
   
   The sound is not objectional at all. It gets
   
   the job done well… with enough room volume
   
   to be useable in fact. It also has a earphone jack.
   
   No ear bud or earphone came with it however.

   The speaker may be programmed off.
   
   Or, at volume levels of low/med/high. 4-levels.
   
   It is to advantage that it has a programmable
   
   volume control.
   
   Analog physical mechanical ’spin the wheel’
   
   type controls are usually built cheap an do wear
   
   out quickly and do not last. They also get dirty and
   
   make scratchy sounds over time as well.
   
   So, this one has an ideal volume control !

   IF you turn off the volume control… there
   
   will be Zero audio speaker output…
   
   however… a RED LED will fire-off to
   
   keep the beat time. It has ample brightness
   
   to be seen EZ in daytime roomlight (which is bright).
   
   The RED LED is always firing-off to the beat
   
   when the device is used, regardless of
   
   volume setting.

   It has NO mechanical switches or mechanical
   
   volume control to break or wear out.

   I like it, and the price is right for the
   
   longterm quality of the device.

   The battery is a single lithium CR type…
   
   which is very EZ to replace. It is
   
   suggested the battery may last through
   
   200-hours of device useage.

   It has a flip-down stand on the rear of
   
   its case. Works well and doubtful it will
   
   break. Made nicely.

   The LCD Display is ample to be seen and read
   
   when the device is on a music stand.
   
   It displays a moving body with the beat and
   
   settings of the device.

   I enjoy mine.
   
   It does not come with any kind of
   
   slip-cover for a protective case.

   I am a music education major studying oboe, and I have been using this metronome for almost 2 years and haven’t had a problem at all. All the controls are simple, straight forward and work wonderfully. The only downside is that you need an adapter to use headphones which is a bummer, but that’s not a necessity anyway. It stands up, is incredibly durable (falls off of my stand all the time, hardly a mark on it) and the batteries refuse to die. It has several rhythm settings, which are fantastic. I highly recommend this item to anyone who needs a metronome.
