“I really want to love this device.
I have struggled to adapt using haptic feedback for the metronome.
It does what you say it does. But if I am doing anything busier than a rudimentary drum groove, I loose the sensation of the vibration.
I do not think it’s anything wrong with the device. It is very clever.
I am not defeated however, I will continue trying, but so far I have been struggling with the device.”
“This device has transformed my playing. I've been playing the piano for about a year now and was getting soooo sick of practising to a metronome. With the vibrations, I find I can practice for longer and more efficiently. Thanks, Soundbrenner 🤙”
“At the highest setting the pulse does not offer a vibration that can be felt over drumming. This may work well for a quiter less active instrument.
When i contacted customer service for a return they wouldn't cover shipping or taxes. Not great customer service.”
“I’ve really enjoyed my soundbrenner so far. I’m a college student studying music education and performance and have been dealing with some pretty significant hearing loss. The soundbrenner core has totally changed how I practice and it’s the first time in years I’ve been able to truly internalize the tempo of a metronome!”
“I've had the Core since its release, and Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with what it provides. Its main features, the contact tuner and metronome, are very easy to understand with its simple and effective UI. I also like the customization with the LEDs and vibration strength, which tailors to my needs.
However, there are a few things that aren't perfect. When it comes to pairing with my Android phone, the Core will constantly disconnect itself without reason, when it didn't do that on my old iPhone. Additionally, I wish that I could control my media players from my Core, as it'd be nice for either casual music listening or for practice.
Lastly (and this isn't about the Core itself, but rather the tuner mounts), I wish that there as a clip-on tuner mount available. As an electric bass player, sticking a magnetic mount on my bass isn't a big deal, but as violin player, I don't really want to have something like a tuner mount stuck to any part of my violin that might cause damage were I to remove it.
Overall, the quality of the Core is great, but I'm also a bit disappointed it doesn't have more.”
“Excellent high quality device to learn in a smart way to play along the singer and other instrument: in same pace and harmony. Easy to use and multifunctional.”
“This is one of those happy purchases when what you hold in your hands is not different from the advertising that made your jaw drop.
Rarely a product deserves 5 stars. But in the case of Soundbrenner Core i would say 5 stars are not enough! Its clever functionalities, its sleek design, its high-quality finishes and sturdiness makes it not only a reliable device for music matters but also an object you love to wear all the time.
It's been almost a month since I've got my Core and I tested it all throughout in this time frame... Nothing to complain about this marvellous piece of technology: everything works perfectly, the syncing with the Soundbrenner app (on my iPhone) is flawless, the vibes are strong, the tuner is accurate, the magnet-grip is awesome.
Kudos to the Soundbrenner developers and also to their great support team. Thank you for the creativity, efforts and love you put in designing and producing this adorable watch.
A great companion for every musician.”
“The Soundbrenner Core is an awesome product for any performing musician. The metronome is simple and effective, and the tuner works great. Shipping was fast, and the customer service was a joy to work with. Highly recommend this for anyone interested.”
