Digital Decibel Meter, XF-882A Sound Level Meter 30-130 dB (A/C), High Accuracy ±1.5dB Audio Noise Volume Tester with Fast/Slow Time Weighting, Decibel Monitor for Sound Quality Control

Good little meter. Easy to use and does everything I need. Auto-shut off is great for maintaining battery life. Great value really for the price paid. Used as a low cost automotive meter it does more than I really need.

Seems accurate but not checked it against known values, measuring a wide range of items, a comprehensive total package all fitting into a neat carry bag, just what I wanted to tuck away on the shelf but be there ready when it's wanted.

Early days with this meter but so far so good whatever reading I attempted the meter would give an accurate reading and found the quality of the plastics and leads to be of god quality.

Perfect for me, clear display, easy to operate and comes with a selection of leads as well a a thermometer.

The first one I ordered had to be immediately returned, as there was a 2-inch wide air pocket from the top of the display to the bottom.The second one looks the way it should, but it's functionality is questionable:No matter how many times I try recallibrating the thing, it reads a quiet/empty room as 40db+, quietly closing a door registers as 60d when the latch clicks into place - I seriously doubt the accuracy of these readings.As it was all I could use for comparison, I downloaded a decibel meter app on my phone- in a quiet room the app was giving readings of ~20db, which seems far more likely, compared to the 40db+ this product was saying. I then put on some music and was confused even further when the app gave readings of ~70db while this product was only showing a reading of 62db. I know using an app isn't a great comparison method, so I'm kind of at a loss as to the actual accuracy of the device.The thermometer is giving readings about 8-10 degrees (c) above actual temp, too; so it's not even worth keeping for that reason.The brightness of the display resets to maximum whenever you turn it off and back on, which is (imo) an unnecessary annoyance.Not worth the money, if you're buying a sound level meter for anything other than decorative purposes.Will be returning this one, too.Absolute waste of time and money.

Screen doesnt work as shoukd but was too late to return once id realised

instantly shut my neighbor down she wasn't impressed that she can no longer lie about my music being loud.

✅ Pros:Large, bright display: The 11" LED screen is easy to read from a distance, making it great for wall mounting in visible areas.Temperature & Humidity: Measurements are reasonably accurate and helpful for general room monitoring.Visual Noise Indicators: Color-coded icons (green, yellow, orange, red) provide at-a-glance awareness of ambient sound levels.⚠️ Cons:Questionable Accuracy: The claimed ±1.5dB accuracy is optimistic—real-world use suggests it functions more like a smartphone app: good for relative noise trends, not precise measurement.Poor Sensor Placement: Being wall-mounted limits placement flexibility. Without a remote sensor, it can’t accurately represent sound levels in the middle of a room or near the source of the noise.Limited Use for Professionals: Not suitable for tasks requiring calibrated sound level readings—e.g., OSHA compliance, scientific audio testing, or serious studio monitoring.📝 Bottom Line:A stylish and functional ambient noise indicator and environment monitor, but not a replacement for a professional-grade decibel meter. Great for visualizing noise trends in offices, homes, or classrooms—just don’t rely on it for critical sound measurements.
