    Will not connect
    This would be great if it worked. The ring only connects when plugged into USB. The app has no issue finding the ring while plugged in but the minute you try to unplug the ring, it disconnects. The ring shows a full charge. This is frustrating considering this was a Christmas present that my son was very excited about. Also you have to pay to return so it’s not worth the 30 min drive to town and paying for the box and label to me. I’ll just toss it I guess because at this point it’s just a silicone piece of jewelry that does nothing.

    What sounds it makes my 10-year-old has been enjoying this a lot. We downloaded an app to go along with it on an iPad, and he caught on to it fairly quickly. He loves making songs on it and sharing it with family. The rings can be tapped on the included foldable mat, or can be tapped on objects around the house and it will still translate to the red / green / yellow, etc on the pad and app and play the corresponding sound. Buttons at the top of the mat make a background noise or beat play. Those can be set to play continuously after tapped, and then the rings can play individual notes on top of that original beat that was started as the one using it continues to tap along creating whatever song/sound they want. It's kind of nifty and my 10-year-old is enjoying playing around with it.

    I honestly was pleasantly surprised by this little pad. The sound kits you can download through the Specdrums app are actually quite good, and true to advertising you can use the ring on other household items of the same colors found on the pad which makes for a fun experience for the kids. My only complaint is the battery for the ring is really bad. We get out it like 15 minutes of playing time when it’s been fully charged and even less if it’s not fully charged which I found a bit disappointing. But other than that it was a fun and pleasant experience!

    Recently purchased this for my 11 Year old son. We had no issues connecting this to a Moto-Z or Iphone X. Essentially just plug the rings to charge. There was not a Wall Transformer Charger included, however there is a nifty Micro USB splitter / adapter cord that will take advantage of one single Micro USB Plug to charge both rings simultaneously. Admittedly, we were too excited to wait for the rings to charge and started right up for a test run. Had the two rings playing sounds in a few minutes with no issues. We simply paired each ring separately and let the full configuration of each ring process/update. No Issues navigating the application at all. The initial sounds were basic, but in no time flat, we were generating a series looping rhythm sequences, bass riffs, and synth stabs!! Additionally, I must note, these rings could essentially use the same Bluetooth connection to trigger an application that will accept "midi" which was a brilliant plan of Spheros part. The rings will differentiate a maximum of approximately twelve distinct colors reliably via the App, however being color blind, I was able to keep the music moving with no complications, After the Rings are fully charged, we saw about 2 - 2 1/2 Hours of play time which was perfect.

    I ordered the 2 ring box and the 1 ring box.

    The two ring box came wrapped in plastic and worked well.

    The one ring box was not in plastic and the box had scuff marks. The plastic was broken that closed the box.

    The ring charged and changed from red to green.

    Upon pairing to the app, it wouldn't show up in the list of available rings to pair. So, I put it back on the charger. It lit up green... finally it showed up in new rings to pair. Then, it wouldn't connect. Afyer trying several times I tried the ring on the other charger for the 2 ring box. And it lit up white after me pairing it. When I went to play it, it didn't work at all. It kept unpairing then pairing and never did play music.

    The other two from the 2 ring box paired right away and played flawlessly.

    I have ordered a new ring, and will up date my post when it arrives.

    UPDATE: So, I ordered a second single ring. It just arrived l and once again the seal is broken, the ring was dirty, the box was dirty and the mat had fur on it. I have a very disappointed little boy who was supposed to have this for valentines day, and still cannot use it.

    So, no...I do not recommend this, nor the company that is sending out damaged products.

    This is one of the coolest tech toys/gadgets I've seen in a long time! I'd heard the buzz about them during the Consumer Electronics Show, so I was really excited to try them out myself. I'm not sure who has more fun using colors to create music--the kids or me! I didn't really believe that you really could make the rings work on anything but the play pad, but we've tried them on just about everything in the house and it works every time. The app is really easy to use too, and my kids love creating different songs/beat mixes. It has been fun to see them trying new things and experimenting with both sounds and colors at the same time. They often pull the rings out and let their friends try it--and it's always a hit. If you are looking for a fun toy (for you and/or the kids), I'd recommend giving the Specdrums rings a try--we've been extremely entertained by them!
