  • Can Help Prevent Hearing Loss From Loud Sounds
Pattern Name: Meter Style: Standard
The meter is very simple to use and can help prevent permanent hearing loss. While little can be done currently to prevent age related hearing loss, one can take steps to prevent hearing loss from loud sounds like amplified music at home and in a car, power tools and appliances, and personal fireworks. I used this Reed sound meter to measure neighborhood fireworks on July 4, 2023. The measurement from hundreds of feet away was over 91 dB. The people setting them off were exposed to sound levels high enough to cause permanent hearing damage. Over time, the accumulated damage could require using hearing aids. The only negative is the wired 9V battery contacts. The contacts can be difficult to install and remove. Perhaps it is more reliable than a snap in 9V battery compartment, but I prefer it to the snap on contacts. ... show more

  • A Well Designed and Well Made Sound Level Meter
Pattern Name: Meter Style: Standard
I purchased this product to adjust the sound levels from each of the speakers in my 7.1 surround sound system. The meter is very well made, easy to use, and gave reproducible results when measuring the output of all of my speakers. I liked the fact that the meter could be used in both A and C modes as the latter is required when measuring the output of speakers in a surround system. I had previously tried a less expensive sound level meter that had arrived dead on arrival. The Reed R8050 worked immediately upon removal from the box and insertion of batteries. This is clearly a case of you get wha you pay for. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • This is a nice meter. I had it for several months
Pattern Name: Meter Style: Standard
This is a nice meter. I had it for several months. Before that I had several of the Mini Digital Sound Level Meters by CEM. One of the mini’s met its demise by way of my puppy who thought it for her. And another that was flatten by a car when the meter fell of my truck. The CEM meter short of being abused is a fantastic meter. And when I tested them side by side the results of both were almost the same. I was disappointed that only one drop of the Reed R8050 Sound Level Meter rendered it useless. Shipping and estimation of repair was almost the cost of a new one. So I have to knock off a star. It sits in the closet. Broken. ... show more

  • Reasonably Priced
Pattern Name: Meter Style: Standard
I use this to meter the sound coming out of fire alarm horns to ensure the level meets code. This meter meets the requirements and is at a price that doesn't break the bank.

  • Simple and easy to use
Pattern Name: Meter Style: Standard
Was purchased to measure noise levels on a boat and performed as expected. It's very easy to use and has a clear display. Will buy the associated calibration aid to aid long-term trust in the unit.
