This metronome not only keeps time but also speaks the beats, and it has truly transformed my practice sessions! A metronome with a speaking feature is a game-changer for anyone serious about improving their timing and rhythm. The user interface is typically very simple, with just a few buttons for adjusting the settings. It’s intuitive, so you can focus more on your playing than figuring out how to operate the metronome. It’s a fantastic tool for musicians of all levels, especially beginners, as it provides clear guidance and keeps you on track. I highly recommend!

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.

The SDREAM Metronome is a basic rechargeable table top metronome with some decent features, but also with a couple features left wanting. If you are a musician, new or old, that just wants to improve their timing this metronome will serve. It's plenty loud, you can add an array of useful subdivisions, can select anywhere from 2 to 9 beats per measure, has spoken beat count which can really help when using the subdivisions, and it is quick and easy to use. I also think the display is really simple but nice, showing the beat at the top, the tempo below that (complete with the Italian term for the tempo range), then the beats per measure and the rhythm in notation form at the bottom, which are very handy and useful. The features that I think would make this product a lot better are tap tempo and a selection of different click sounds (the one it has is a bit obnoxious). However, my biggest criticism is if this is really worth buying in this day and age when most everyone has a smart phone with access to a plethora of much cheaper metronome apps that are more advanced and have so many more features. But if you like having a physical metronome, and your not a prog musicians that needs to practice in 19/16 timing for that 30 minute epic master piece your band is putting together, then this little device will serve you well.

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.

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.
