Overview
Feeling the beat on the body instead of hearing it is the point of the Soundbrenner Pulse. It straps on with a tang buckle, takes tempo through a dial, and connects to a phone app by Bluetooth.
A vibration cue suits drummers, guitarists and keyboard players who cannot always hear a click, and two bands are listed with the unit. Stereo pairing and a long phone-compatibility list widen its use. Several spec entries are clearly misfiled, including wireless provider and smart watch type, and no display is present.
Who it's for
Players in loud rehearsal rooms or on stage who cannot rely on an audible click. Those who want a display, waterproofing, or a clean spec sheet should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Tempo felt as vibration
- Stereo pairing option
- Bluetooth, NFC and USB links
- Broad phone compatibility
- Not water resistant
- Wireless and watch entries look misfiled
Performance notes
The unit receives tempo from the app or its dial and delivers it as a pulse against the skin, so timing does not depend on room noise. Bluetooth carries the link to a phone, and USB handles charging or wired connection. Battery capacity is listed as a bare number with no unit.
