The most useful features for me are the contact tuner and dB meter
I'm a music teacher and I loved using the Core at work. Tried to tune a guitar, a ukulele and a bass, everything worked perfectly! I have also set my watch to alarm me if the dB gets too loud where I am, and it has been a saviour at different places.

Effective and Convenient… Soundbrenner Core Steel
I am just starting out with guitar but the Core Steel is such an amazing tool. It makes practice fun, keeps me consistent, and helps me to just relax and enjoy time with my guitar. Can't wait to use it while performing for my family!

Super useful and convenient even for shows
Just used it at gigs for the first time on Saturday. I'm the drummer but the guitarist could turn round see the beats flashing if he was starting the song not me. Kept us all togeter neither dragging nor racing through two gigs and a long hard day.

Definitely one of my best purchases this year
Really love this product! Helps me maintain tempo in playing music which I have struggled with for years! Also a great companion when working out. I use it for timing between workout sets. Design is super sleek as well, great buy!

A life-saver
I am a singer-songwriter but due to an ear injury, I’ve been unable to hear the frequency of click tracks. The Core has been immensely useful and within a few weeks I’ve learnt how to master it. The Core is great and I love its potential.

A 5-star product for sure
I've got the tempos set in the app and it counts in all the songs for the band, we also link up on other projects so everyone with a Soundbrenner gets the beat. As a guitar player, I really dig the tuner and being able to tap a tempo into the watch and always having it with me is fantastic.

Quite satisfied
I’m enjoying the metronome function, and have yet to try the tuner. However, I would have liked it to have some health monitoring features such as step-count.

It does what it says it will do at a high level
The leather band is a comfort level better than rubber and plastic. It looks great too. Listen and play more music people! Thanks.

I have been searching for a device like this for ages
I often play the piano in church, and have become dependent on my loud metronome during practice. Sadly, a loud ticking sound is not something you want on stage. The Pulse has changed everything for me!

My Soundbrenner Pulse has been a real godsend!
Having always struggled with a steady beat the Pulse has made an amazing difference in my playing by eliminating having to process a traditional metronome's ticks & tocks and allowing me to focus on the sound of my music.

Really helped with calming my nerves during open mic
I don't like the usual online metronomes, so I ordered a Pulse. This is the best solution so far for me. The gentle thumping really talks to me. I'm very pleased and can already see an improvement in my timing.

Definitely does the job
I used to own the Pulse, which did the job well. However, I found that using my phone to control the Pulse was a little inconvenient. So, I upgraded to the Core and life is just so much easier.

The Pulse is something I never knew I needed
Rhythm is always something that I'm keeping an eye on with my own playing and the Pulse helps keep me in a state of feeling as opposed to a state of thinking. In other words, it helps keep me out of mv own head while playing guitar.

Got this for my daughter heading to music school soon
I wish I knew this existed at the beginning of marching band season. She's a drum major, and this would have been a phenomenal tool for that. I highly recommend this product. It works great and met all of our expectations upon receiving it.

Would love to get the whole group on these
I tried using the arm strap and found that it worked best for playing guitar. Hardcore and Metal have very high BPM so it helps to have that constant pulse, as opposed to a relentless ticking noise. Very pleased!

Worth the price
I was initially pretty skeptical as these are more expensive than many other earplugs out there. However, after trying them, I found them to be worth the cost. The lever in particular just adds so much convenience.

Perfect for chaotic shows and very loud clubs
Used them for two concerts now, including a very aggressive bass show where there was violent moshing. They stayed in place the whole show and are very comfortable. Highly recommend these!

Excellent product... recommended to the rest of the band
I've been playing bass in a rock covers band for a number of years and this is the first time that my ears haven't rung after a gig. Lots of options available to get a perfect fit and very easy to adjust during a gig.

Worth every penny & a MUST have
FINALLY!! Earplugs that do the job and still let you hear & feel the music. Like them so much I bought another pair to keep in my other guitar case so I’ll always have them no matter what guitar I bring. Great piece of kit right here!

This changed everything and I can’t be more thankful for them
I’ve worn these things every day all day since I got them. I was battling thumping in my right ear and was fearing I may have to give up composing. The quality is great and my tinnitus ringing is reduced more than with normal plugs.

As a saxophonist, the occlusion effect is a huge issue when dealing with earplugs
The Minuendo plugs helped lessen this at the lower settings and still allowed me to feel more protected in some of the louder large format bands I play in. Also love the fact that I can dial back and still have a conversation.

Got them after I found my hearing affected from lack of ear protection
Tried a couple of different brands but they either just muffled everything or my ears would still hurt after practice. These reduced the sound without affecting the quality that I hear… all the frequencies get through in a really nice blend.

I am totally in love with this concept and am always happy to wear them.
It is a fascinating mechanism to explore and get the right level of being shut off. I hope that I won't lose it some day, because this would not be very cool to replace.
