As stated by a combination of users here, this meter is good for comparison but, if what you are measuring is over about 110-115db the meter is not accurate. My current audio systems average peak on Term-LAB at 140.3db and on this meter it registers consistently at 126.1. For a pocket, fast improvement check it is not a bad meter at all but for accuracy over 115db you will have to invest at least $200.

The meter worked well, but I was using it for a science class and would have liked for it to measure sounds at lower decibels too. I think the lower limit was 60 - if memory serves.

This meter is worth the price but if you have a loud sound system, don't even bother. This thing doesn't read over 130dB and even under it, it's not accurate at all. It's actually off by quite a lot of dB. If you want real accurate meters, get a Term-Lab but it will cost a lot.

NOT bad at all I use it for customer cars. fits in my pocket and it is pretty accurate. Down Fall is it peaks at 130db which is pretty loud. But not loud enogh for me. Good tool for moderate install tuning.
I am very happy with my purchase. The customer service were very helpful, the prices are better than any custom audio shop I've been to. I am sonic buyer for life.
