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.

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.

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.

A word about the interplay with the phone -- the phone app is also very well designed and the bluetooth connection is stable. The connection "feels solid." I have no need to "play" the Pulse beats out loud, but, if I did, the phone would serve beautifully as a sophisticated aural metronome speaker. You can also use the phone app to control the function of device (especially the deeper functions). However, beyond setup, I wouldn't do so would so because the last thing in the world I want to do is fiddle with a phone during performance. 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. People in other situations might benefit from the capability of controlling function through the phone.
I did have to contact their support in the first couple of days because I wanted to order backup wrist straps in a configuration different from what they offer. A very nice person got back to me in a timely manner and arranged for me to get exactly what I wanted, saving me $20. I think this is an extraordinary level of support -- they're going through the trouble of repackaging something in order to save a customer money. (Frankly, that's the main reason I'm taking the time to write this review -- I'm grateful to them.)
For me, this was one of those happy situations we get sometimes where we order something with a bit of uncertainty and then discover that it actually exceeds expectations. I love this thing and admire the creativity of the people who developed it. Well worth the money, in my opinion.
The company has been supporting the device very well. I did experience the Pulse timing being way off from what it was supposed to be, but that only happened a few times early on (April 2018) and it seems some firmware and software updates have fixed this -- it hasn't happened since.
They also replaced a non-functional USB cable in one of the devices at no cost.
The software on the app is quite good. It has many options to customize things, including the type of touch, the pattern of tempo, whether to hear metronome sounds and what type of sounds, colors of pulses, etc. The pulse can be set very short and crisp.
You do have to recharge the Pulse frequently. They claim to have improved the battery life with a software update. I just recharge after every use, and top off before using. Not a problem. I use a USB hub device to charge all 3 devices at once.
They provide two straps, a short one and a longer one. In my group, each person has chosen a different place to wear it.
This is a very innovative device, and remarkably stable and useful for a "version one" product.
I only use this in rehearsal. My one wish would be to have a foot pedal to pause the pulses during a ritard, maybe press and hold. And perhaps switch to a different tempo with a quick foot pedal press.

Definitivamente una excelente compra.
I think the pulse model would be even better...
1) if you could see the tempo on the actual unit rather than having to look at the app on my phone. The core model has this feature but that was out of my price range for now - I will most likely upgrade in the future.
2) if you had the option to increase the vibration.
I totally recommend this as a practice tool for any musician!
Reviewed in Spain on January 22, 2024
Seit geraumer Zeit spiele ich wieder aktiv E-Bass und habe nach einer Lösung gesucht die mein mechanisches Metronom ablöst (welches mir schon beim Klavier den letzten Nerv raubte 😅).
So kam ich erstmal zur Soundbrenner App, welche IMHO für sich wohl:
a) die beste Metronom App in AppStore und
b) die mit besten UI,
ist. Der Weg zur Puls war also nicht mehr weit. Doch ich zweifelte lange. Zuerst die Kosten, ist ja jetzt nicht gerade günstig und dann besitze ich eine Apple Watch die ja auch vibriert. Ich mach‘s kurz, die Apple Watch als Metronom ist völliger Mist.
Nach tagelangen YouTube Reviews, Foren Beiträgen uvm. hab ich sie dann halt einfach bestellt. Ich musste mir ein eigenes Bild machen, online hatte jeder was anderes zu sagen und das machte mich keinen Meter schlauer.
Als die Puls da war fiel mir direkt das wirklich gute Design, Branding der Marke und die Produktqualität auf. Alles sehr hochwertig. Also ab an den Strom, 2 Stunden geladen, dann ging es los.
—Eindruck—
Was soll ich sagen: ABSOLUT FANTASTISCH! Wer als Bassspieler sowieso ein Gefühl für Vibration hat, kann sich super schnell darauf einlassen. Meine Frau hat’s dann auch am Klavier getestet und ist fast verrückt geworden! Für sie ging es garnicht klar. Die Vibrationen sind stark, jedoch könnten sie einen kleinen ticken stärker sein. Ich schätze bei Bandsessions im Proberaum könnte es an die Grenzen kommen. Für zuhause aber ideal.
Ich trage die Puls an der Spielhand, so kann ich z.B. den Wechselschlag perfekt auf die Vibration abstimmen. Aber auch mit dem mitgelieferten Großen Gurt am Bein war es möglich gut damit zu spielen und alles zu fühlen. Also wirklich positiv überrascht.
Würde es jederzeit wieder kaufen! Aus der Sicht eines Bassspielers ist zumindest ein Test der Puls alle mal ratsam, vielleicht könnt ihr meine Erfahrung teilen.
In Kombi mit der App hat man dann drei Reize: Akustisch, Visuell, Vibration und das ist dann das perfekte Timing auch nicht mehr weit.
Überzeugt!
