Works great for my needs
By 24 601 on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2015
Works great for me. I am very hard of hearing and my main criteria when purchasing a new car is sound levels and the ability to have a conversation in the car under normal road and highway conditions. To take out the subjectivity, I test drive vehicles on the same roads using the sound meter and note the sound levels at idle, slow, road speed, and interstate speeds. I have my wife watch the meter and record the sound levels next to my ear. This device had a little broader frequency range and a little broader sound level range than cheaper models. The broader frequency range is useful for my purpose. It works well and as advertised for this purpose.

readings are inaccurate and unreliable
By Kindle Customer on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021
Found out after using this meter for 2+ months to calibrate surround sound rooms that this monitor is consistently reading dB levels higher than they actually are, resulting in incorrect calibration of audible levels. Readings do appear to be consistent, so you are inclined to trust them, but they are grossly inaccurate, and there is no way to know without comparing to other meters in the same environment. I ultimately found out after comparing this meter's reading side by side with others after complaints that sound levels in calibrated rooms were low. Also found that A mode on this meter matched C mode on others - there may be many things out of spec with this meter. This meter cannot be relied on for accurate measurement.
