Great 2 years until the internal battery soldered to the mainboard fails?

There is an issue that makes this product "obsolete" after 2 years. Inside the block on the motherboard is a battery (probably to save time when turning off). Of course, after more than 2 years, it fails and the device can no longer remember the time, forcing all entries to start over. So much value for 2 years but why on earth would you put a battery on a motherboard that keeps time. ? Either that or the product didn't work for me. I'm attaching a photo so you can decide.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Upgradable

WOW! It really works. Captures and writes db levels over time.

I need an inexpensive dB meter that also records the dB level over time. I follow planes that fly over my house. This software device does just that. I installed it in my office to get used to using it. The software has many perimeters depending on the data collection needs. Once you understand how it works, you'll be amazed at how much can be built from such a cheap device. I don't do scientific work, but she did a good job. Following the instructions I set it up on my tripod. I disconnectedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money

Works with Windows 10 on USB 3.2 generation ports

Works with Microsoft Windows 10 connected to USB 3.2 generation laptop ports. The BAFX version of this gauge is older in my experience BAFX gauges only work on Microsoft Windows 10 (or earlier versions of Microsoft Windows) with USB 2 ports. I have a lot of experience with older/earlier BAFX hardware, but this newer hardware has changed the button layout and added more recording features. both software and hardware, which makes things a bit more confusing. Also, the power button didn't turn the

Pros
  • Calibrated audio source: 94 dB at 1 kHz
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Extremely inaccurate data recording

I was looking forward to being able to record data with the device. For the price, I wasn't too frustrated with the usual lack of intuitiveness and the cumbersome steps to go through to get datalogging up and running. But the fact that the data is completely wrong and totally different from what is shown on the LCD is frustrating. The devices are said to be designed for 30-130 dB. But uploaded data showed I was getting DB levels from 666dB to >5000dB. Needless to say, this is completelyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Autoranging with histogram
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Works as it should, but breaks very quickly.

This unit did what it said it would do. It has a threaded tripod mount which is essential and I used it for a few days but on day 4 I found that the USB cable port on the unit was faulty. The tripod may have fallen on the grass in my absence but I was a bit disappointed with how easily it broke and the data I had recorded for the day was unavailable. I was also a bit confused as to whether it runs on the external battery I plugged in or the ones I plugged into the device. Other than that, theโ€ฆ

  • Frequency response: 31.5~8.5kHz

  • Not bad, but...
