2.2" LCD Digital Sound Level Meter (Decibel Gage)

Pros: - dBA and dBC selection - Max hold function, so you can see the maximum SPL at a certain point. - The screen is easy to read and understand - Comes in a nice plastic case with moulded protection (like some microphone cases)

Cons: - The plastic looks and feels a bit cheap, and the wind shield looks quite cheesy, but for the price, it's not really a con.

Other: It does the job, and for a very good price.

Pros: + Easy to use
+ Big LCD Screen
+ LCD BAR graphical indicators at 1dB levels
+ dBA and dBC selection
+ Professional measurement range 30-130dB
+ Fast and slow dynamic characteristics modes
+ AC and DC signed output, DC 9V input
+ Accuracy (+-1,5dB)

Cons: Plastic look and feels a bit cheap.

Other: Good and accurate tool for home and professional usage. If you are looking similar device, please check that it also has 30-130dB measurement range.

Pros: Professional-quality noise meter. Tested it against a 500 euro meter and the results shown were the same, so it's probably well calibrated. Max hold function useful. Comes in a neat carry box. Battery lasts for a really long time.

Cons: Battery door is a bit flimsy. Uses 9V battery that is not available everywhere (always have a spare with you!).

Other: If you need a quality SPL meter that you're not afraid to lose or damage -- that's it.
