Feature:
The features were nice and I was hoping that it worked better than it does. As a drummer, I was looking forward to having the metronome usable on triplets and dotted eight notes, etc. Alas, I found that the vibrating clip was not easy to feel with enough precision. I tried a bunch of places but none of them seemed to do it for me.

Quality:
Typical of most stuff made in Chnia (as is this). Ok, but not great. But it's not the cheap plastic look that made me send it back, it was the fact that it did NOT keep perfect time. Set at 60 bpm, Within a few minutes it was a quarter+ second off. I'm sorry, but 60 bpm needs to be 60 not 59.9. I tested it against a stopwatch and my Roland V-drum's built in timer. The Roland set and the stopwatch were perfect with each other, the Person Body Beat was not. Guess who got voted off the island.

Value:
I think it is overpriced for what you get.

Desirability:
I though it was a great idea, but it just didn't work out to be as good as I had hoped.

Ease of Use:
It was easy enough to use. Perfect 10? nahhh, but no real big issues.
