How we ranked these metronomes

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: bass metronome

Digital or mechanical: pick your type

Three metronomes here are digital and two are mechanical. The Wegrower, Sondery and Donner devices combine a tuner, metronome and tone generator with LCD screens, while the Ueteto and TERENCE metronomes use wind-up mechanisms. A digital device adds tuning and tone generation, while a mechanical device runs on a wind-up mechanism. Pick the type that matches how you practice.

Compare tempo range and beats

Tempo ranges here run from 30 to 260bpm at the digital end and 40 to 208bpm for the mechanical pair. The Wegrower covers 30 to 250, the Sondery and Donner cover 30 to 260, and the Ueteto and TERENCE cover 40 to 208. The digital devices offer beats 0 to 9 and 8 rhythms, while the mechanical pair offers beat selections of 0, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Match the range and beat choices to the music you practice.

Check power and display

Power differs across these metronomes. The Wegrower and Sondery devices recharge over USB, the Donner device runs on AAA batteries, and the mechanical pair winds up by hand. Displays differ too: the Wegrower and Sondery devices use large LCD color screens with LED indicators, and the Donner device uses an LCD large display screen with a 45 degree bracket. A readable display matters in dark rooms and strong light alike.
