Keeps a 9 year old girl busy for hours

She unwrapped the bitcoin of indecisiveness. "What the hell is he doing?" But within 2 minutes, she and her friend were making music together and wouldn't stop. Super intuitive unboxing. You can start playing right away (good for impatient kids)! So much fun.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are downsides

It's hard to figure out how to play

Very cool concept and looks very nice - very aesthetic. It is also very compact, lightweight and can be taken anywhere. However, I found it very difficult to figure out how to use it. I would only give 3 stars but I really like the design and the idea. Bring back written manuals. ! Not just "instructions" when trying to play again

Pros
  • . Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not the best

Not as advertised. Nonsense!

I bought this as a gift for my nieces as they both love music and can work together. They have not worked since delivery. I paid about 80 for two rings. I'm devastated that my nieces are so offended they don't want to tell me. They were afraid to hurt my feelings after I talked about it so much. Garbage is the word that comes to mind now. Don't believe the ads.

Pros
  • Nice design
Cons
  • Only available in black

Fun for all ages! on e-learning toys

When my 12 year old daughter opened the Specdrum box, she immediately went to work, reading the instructions and loading the rings. Without wasting any time, as soon as they were charged, she started making music. At first she used the colored pillow included in our 2-ring set to create the sounds, but eventually switched to the fruit bowl on the kitchen table. It wasn't until the next day that it was her 8-year-old brother's turn. He loved making music and was so proud of the song he recorded…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • boring packaging

Even harder than I expected!

This is one of the coolest tech toys/gadgets I've ever seen! I heard about it during the Consumer Electronics Show, so I was keen to try it myself. I'm not sure who prefers to use color to make music - the kids or me! I really didn't think you could actually get the rings to work in anything other than a playground, but we've tried them on just about everything around the house and it's always worked. The app is also very easy to use and my kids love creating different song/beat mixes. It was…

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Secret

Good idea, but rather sloppy in application.

I really wanted to like it as I was hoping to use it with some clients who are on the autism spectrum and I hoped it would fascinate them to music explore the (colorful) world around you. When using it, I never felt like feedback worked well, and the lag, lack of triggers, and generally awkward interactions made me realize my customers weren't going to interact. As for rendering other colors (as opposed to the included color input), there aren't enough "pure" colors in most people's world to…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • I don't really like it, it's ok

Creative and inspirational

Recently bought for my 11 year old son. We had no issues connecting to the Moto-Z or Iphone X. Basically just plug in the charging rings. No transformer wall charger was included, but there is a great micro USB splitter/adapter cable that uses a single micro USB connector to charge both rings at the same time. Admittedly, we were too excited to wait for the rings to charge and jumped right into the test run. The two rings played sounds after a few minutes without any problems. We simply…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
