 overpriced but good Aug 06, 2007
By Santoku, Mr.
Nice looks and ergonomics. Has a nice big transparent dial to adjust the tempo. Beware that some cheap metronomes have a fake dial and instead use push buttons to adjust the tempo. A real dial is so much nicer to use. Note that you must push the 'on' button down for about one full second to turn the unit on. Probably to prevent it from accidentally turning on if the 'on' button bumps against something. On a fresh battery, its volume can be turned up quite loud. Has a headphone output.
The clicks have two tones to choose from, one higher one lower, but if you set the Beat button to 1, you actually have four tones to choose from. The Beat button allows you to highlight every second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth beat, by playing it at a higher pitch (a 'bing' sound). But this highlighted beat is actually a bit quieter than the non-accented ones; if anything, it should be a bit louder. This metro also produces a sine wave tone in A (440Hz) for tuning instruments by ear.
This metro seems to go through batteries a bit more quickly than most other metros. It uses one 9V. I bought a rechargeable 9V NiMH battery (it's really only 7.2V) and charger for this and it's perfect. You can also use a proper adapter if you don't mind plugging it in.
Also, about the green light at the top that arcs left and right in time with the beat; trailing behind the main (leading) light are two slightly dimmer lights ...looks a bit like a 'comet' effect. The two trailing lights are not a whole lot dimmer than the the leader, so especially at faster tempos, it can be a bit difficult to discern the exact position of the light relative to the beat. This is only an issue if you want to use the lights as a visual cue to the beat.
Nowadays you can get metros with much more complex beat patterns for less money, but if you only need a simple but good metro, this one might be worth its somewhat high price.

 Ping and then Clicks. Perfect for vocalists. Sep 16, 2010
By Richard Young
"CINE 2"
I purchased over a dozen metronomes looking for the exact right sound. I need a ping at the accent beats and a click on all the other beats. It has to be loud enough and distinguishable enough to aid and not distract while I practice the timing of my vocals. This one is perfect and beats out all the rest. I highly recommend this. I have all the others on a shelf to display all the failed metronomes I had to go through to get to this one.

Great metronome, but a bit pricey Aug 29, 2011
By Greg R Starr
This is a great metronome. The tone is just right for my ears, and with the volume control, you can may it as obtrusive, or unobtrusive, as you would like. It is a bit pricey, but the extra cost to me is worth it. This seems to be a metronome for the long haul.

Great for bagpipes Nov 06, 2006
By D. Struven
This is among the greatest metronomes that there is. It is used by some of the top bagpipers out there, chosen for its large sound, ease of use and lasting battery. The world famous Ron "Ringo" Bowen uses this metronome with the classes he teaches and always tells everyone, "Do everything ON THE BEAT!!! You need to walk, talk, eat, sleep on the beat." This metronome lets you do just that.
Great buy if you can afford it, but it'll treat you right.
Deploy SQ70 Metronome Dec 16, 2011
By pjhammer
A great metronome, can be used with battery or mains with a suitable adapter, you can set a tone to identify the first beat of each bar. It is incredibly adjustable and can be listened to directly through the speaker or headphones if you want to keep your friends! Most important of all it keeps excellent time - a no brainier!
