I get it, they don't rust and feel slick. However they have no tone, all the brightness of new strings is lost and replaced with slush. Threw them in the trash.

I think mine were broken.  The high frequencies didn't come through.  I sent mine back.

Changed literally nothing! Mic is still so quiet I have to almost yell to be audible, and even then it's not really loud at all! Just a scam honestly.

I bought the used tone and it can't tell the difference between the new and used. I even bought another one to send to my brother as a gift.

The first one of these that I bought went mute after about a year. Works fine but no sound, no alarm. Fresh batteries make no difference. Not too helpful to have a kitchen timer with no audible alarm. But I liked the timer so I bought another. 6 months later same problem. Stopped making sound.

I think the design is great, but the manufacturing quality is poor. Not recommended.

Relatively comfortable, though the design doesn't seem very sturdy. Its battery life and sound quality are nothing special. What killed it for me was that the built-in sounds for turning on, low battery, etc. are extremely loud. I'm unable to turn them down independently.

I installed this less than a month ago and the batteries are dead. I replaced the batteries and its still showing as zero in my app.

I believe I've received a broken scale. Once it arrived I attempted to turn it on but nothing happened. So I thought to myself it may be the batteries, so I changed the batteries and still nothing.?

I just received my clock, unpacked it, found the instructions are not in English. Oh well how hard can it be?
Popped off the battery cover, put a new battery in, put the cover back on, Set the time, Flipped the alarm to "on"
Slowly rotated the alarm's hand to the current time, when it hit, it made one "click" noise. That was all she wrote! No bells, Nothing! Just a small click. So I thought, maybe it didn't like the fact that I was moving the alarm's hand, so I set it to go off a few hours later. Still nothing (this time I was not by the clock so I am not sure if it made the "click" noise).
This clock is going back to Amazon

Sounds like batteries are very low. Hasn't improved despite changing batteries to new twice. Most of the instruments sound almost the same.

I have never written a negative review until now.  Bought these for Christmas at the end of October and when I opened them on Christmas....dead silence.  New batteries, same channel but will not talk to each other.  Very disappointed children.  This will be the last time I do not try something out early.  The cherry on top is that I can't return now.

there is no variation in tone, all sounds sound similar just different lengths and cadence. It will get the job done on non pressured game. remote works fine

My unit has no dial tone, and disconnects when I pick up the handset to answer a call.  Spending more than 6 hours with customer service did not achieve a resolution.
