Customers are mixed about the performance of the speakers. Some mention that it works very well, the app works fairly well, and is amazing and useful for a version one product. However, others say that the tap on the face of the device doesn't always work correctly, there are too many problems with it, and the concept is plausible, but the implementation is pretty poor. Overall, the opinions are mixed and the product is good for normal use.

"...wrist (my fretting arm), I can both see the Pulse and manipulate its functions easily, even in the middle of a song...." Read more

"...The reality is that if you don't have the app it is not practical because it doesn't have a screen, so to set up the right tempo you need another..." Read more

"...This is a very innovative device, and remarkably stable and useful for a "version one" product.I only use this in rehearsal...." Read more

"...Bottom line: I am using this device but it is not as wonderful as I was hoping." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the speakers. Some mention that the app is a great addition and makes using this device a lot simpler. They also say that there are excellent short instructional videos available on YouTube. However, others say that it's not as convenient or intuitive as was promised by the concept, overly complicated, and hard to get used to.

"...The printed guide is clear and there are some excellent short instructional videos available on YouTube (some placed by the company; some by users)...." Read more

"...The smartphone app is a great addition and makes using this device a lot simpler. Highly recommended." Read more

33 customers mention11 positive22 negative

Customers are mixed about the vibration of the product. Some mention that it's effective in helping them maintain the tempo, while others say that it makes a vibration noise with each pulse. They also say that the timbre shown on the app may not vibrate in time with the metronome.

"...keeping complex rythms in sync, but the reality is that the vibration is not very strong, neither the instructions nor the app said how in increase..." Read more

"...The vibrations transfer nicely to the bone/muscle right there.- Lots of variations on pulse strength and width for each beat...." Read more

"It's been tricky to learn how to use it, I wish it'd have a stronger vibration, sometimes I lose track...." Read more

"...Even if you tap the tempo shown on the app, the metronome may not vibrate in time with the app. Annoying at best.3...." Read more

17 customers mention11 positive6 negative

Customers are mixed about the pulse of the speakers. Some mention that the pulse is much stronger on the shoulder, and there are lots of variations on pulse strength and width for each beat. Others say that the Pulse is BIG and too big for their arm, and that they can't feel the pulse if they are a drummer playing with a live band.

"...As far as I can see, its prime benefit is that you can control the Pulse's basic functions just by tapping lightly on it...." Read more

"...In addition, the Pulse blinks while on, part of the lights you can turn on but part of them continue on and if you are on a stage, you don't want..." Read more

"...The pulse can be set very short and crisp.You do have to recharge the Pulse frequently...." Read more

"pulse does not feel too strong in loud area" Read more

16 customers mention6 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the appearance of the speakers. Some mention it's comfortable, smart looking, and cool, while others say it has a poor quality design and is cheaply made. Some customers also say the device looks fragile and is a massive design failure.

"...Last but not least the device looks fragile, I do this as a hobby and I'm not comfortable it will last long, if I was a teenage kid with a band..." Read more

"...A word about the interplay with the phone -- the phone app is also very well designed and the bluetooth connection is stable...." Read more

"...piece of silicone that doesn't absorb sweat and will likely self-destruct pretty quickly...." Read more

"...Poor Design - nothing on how to change the battery? My guess is, you either a) can't change it, or b) it's proprietary...." Read more

15 customers mention0 positive15 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the latency of the product. They mention that there was a very slight delay in the click, the tempo was all over the place, and it takes a minute to set the timing. Some say that the device can't keep time consistently and is glitchy at any speed.

"...Minuses:- time variations are worse with long/strong pulses. Yes it is true, sometimes this thing cannot keep time!..." Read more

"...If it was a burrito I wouldn't mind. Burritos don't have tempos. But a metronome? Whose whole job is to express a tempo??..." Read more

"...Takes forever to connect all.the devices to a single phone. It would be nice if it remembered them...." Read more

"...Is the future. Great idea. It takes a while to get used. Its not the holy grail yet. There's a lot that the company needs to optimize...." Read more

Don't Waste Your Time (4/4) and/or Money (6/8)

Don't Waste Your Time (4/4) and/or Money (6/8)
To start with..... the device itself is about as sensitive to your touch as a thick rubber door mat. It's "supposedly" touch sensitive, and you can set the tempo by touching the device in time with the tempo. Something like a tap tempo on a guitar delay pedal. Good luck with that...... twenty minutes later, you just give up.Now...you can set the tempo by connecting a phone /tablet app to the device; but then you MUST have your phone or tablet with you. Yeah.. you'll likely have a phone or tablet with you, but the whole purpose is to be able to set the tempo and start the device without one.Poor Design - there's NO on/off switch. You turn the dial and "touch" the device to turn it on/off. Did I mention above how sensitive to the touch the device is?Poor Design - they've combined the charging port with the electric probes that provide the vibration. PROBLEM - it takes a special proprietary charging cable. I'm sure if you lost this proprietary cable, you could get it replaced for a $mall(ish) fee.Poor Design - nothing on how to change the battery? My guess is, you either a) can't change it, or b) it's proprietary. I think you get the idea here.Poor(er) Design - it's supposed to send a vibrating pulse to you, so that you don't have a loud, noisy, clickety-click type metronome to put up with........ but the funny thing is, the vibration actually makes a buzzing sound. OK, perhaps that buzzing sound isn't quite as loud as a typical click-clock metronome, but you can actually hear the buzzing of the pulse one room away. This IS THE SHOW STOPPER. There's no "volume" control that I can see on the phone app. The whole reason I bought this was for live recording of a one person performance using a looper. The mics pick up the pulse vibration - it's THAT LOUD.Now....as a nice consolation prize, you DO get a guitar pick. (Unless of course you're not a guitar player, or you don't use that kind of pick, then it's not much of a consolation prize).Concept is plausible.... their implementation; pretty poor.
