By far the best tuner ive ever used! only set back is the jaw. Breaks easy, design change for it would be ideal. The tuner itself is bright and accurate.

I have had two of these PRS tuners. Both of them broke at the clamp hinge within a few months even though the tuner normally just stayed on the guitar until it needed to be charged. Also both of them were 10 cents flat when checked against several other tuners including 2 Peterson strobes. I also think it is not user friendly and the various modes are just confusing. Other than the bird appearing when you hit "in-tune" there's nothing to justify buying it. It's just a PRS branded third-party cheap tuner. I messaged PRS support about the two hinge failures and they did not ever respond. I'm actually a fan of PRS and I've had 5 of their guitars-they are fantastic but the overpriced gadgets, meh, not so much.

Attracted by the bird that shows when you're in tune and the carbon fiber looking case but it is very unreliable as the battery depletes while not in use so you never know if it's going to work when you pop it on. Better off looking elsewhere.

I had no problems with accuracy and recharge life. Before a gig I would recharge it but at home I could go several days, sometimes more than a week without recharging. I liked the display. My problem is the clip is cheaply made. Mine lasted a few months before breaking. I play an epiphone acoustic and the clip had to open fully to attach to the headstock. And then it broke. Disappointing for a company that built its reputation on quality.

Just buy a snark, this thing was not worth $.

I've had this tuner and it's easily the most unreliable tuner you can purchase.

The Bird takes most of the real estate of the screen for no reason. The clamp is just too small and cheap and broke pretty quickly.

When I first bought the PRS tuner I was ecstatic to use what was essentially the first charging clip on tuner. It worked exactly as I expected it to but it did come with its drawbacks. For its entirety it has had to live plugged in to the charger or it would be dead in a matter of hours. Although it lived safely there it somehow managed the find itself destroyed at the hinges despite being carefully loved. It still functions as a tuner but the plastic it is made from is extremely cheap. Not even super glue can fix this considering the tension the spring provides on it.

nice tuner works great but the clip is not deep enough to get a good fit on most head stocks, prs should have noticed that.

This is the worst clip on tuner I've purchased and I've been through many of them. This will never hold a charge. You will literally have to charge it before any time you choose to use it. I bought a Fender clip on over a year ago and have maybe charged it twice. As well it started to swivel and not hold desired position after a couple months. Well a month after that it broke off. PRS is usually unanimous with quality, not this tuner. Find something else

Been using this tuner for a while now and Love its accuracy and display. its biggestFLAW is that grip. The "mouth" being so short and the jaws not opening wider limit the headstocks I can place it on and stay on. if PRS can put a deep/long jaw on it like many other tuners this would be the perfect tuner. Till then Ill have to use it as my back up.

I have this tuner and I like it . I've had several Sharks and they tend to break . The PRS tuner is definitely way to use and fits on my guitars with no issues. Not sure why some other reviews were scored low . Another thing I like is it's rechargeable so you don't have to worry about batteries.
I definitely recommend it .

Purchased at my local music store but as soon as I put it on the guitar stock the clip broke. When I checked the clip the plastic the pin goes through was torn through. Its very thin plastic not up to the job. Took it back to music store and gave me a replacement... great service. BUT the second one broke exactly the same as the first one. Very disappointing.

They don't hold a charge very long…not a good choice.
TC polytune is much better with a battery.

I had one of these given to me as gift. it worked well for a short time and then for no reason the the gauge just fell off. Tried to take it apart and wasn't able to open to get to the screw they had holding it together. Just a normal screw no nut and no way to tighten if it comes loose, and it will definitely come loose with use. Very poorly designed.

Would not hold a charge. Junk.

The screen is made of a very cheap plastic so it gets scratched by anything, even your fingers so if you put it in your guitar case or bag be prepared for big scratches.

Battery life is poor, I always charged it to max and I always see 1 bar on the battery screen, also the micro USB in 2021 was a big no no .

I was very excited when this product was announced because of the strobo functionality, but whenever I was going to use it it was always discharged so I decided to switch to my old AROMA tuner which has many more years of use.

In short, I cannot recommend this item, it is a cheap tuner that has the PRS logo on it.

Had this tuner for awhile. It is a bit jumpy but all in all it is a good tuner. the problem is the assembly. The tuner the other fell off the other day while I was playing. So the tuner head is attached with a screw that appears to look like a metal screw or a wood screw. This makes no sense as there are times when you need to rotate the tuner so you can see what you're doing while tuning. Eventually it gets too loose and falls off. It's not like you can tighten it because the fact is there is no accessible screw until it falls off. Mine was a gift and not a purchase from Sweetwater. Sweetwater is great when it comes to customer service.

Works great... battery charge lasts a long time. ONLY ONE Gripe... Clips great onto the headstock. Will NOT clip onto an iPad due to the clip design.

For me, the endless search for the perfect tuner is over. Others have said it's twitchy. I disagree. I have high ratio locking tuners, and it's a breeze to pull my guitars into tune. And the battery life is unbelievable. The best part is no batteries are needed. Charge it on a USB port, and it will last for weeks, even with everyday use. Another feature I really like is the auto shut-off. Thanks, Nick for suggesting this tuner. (Also, it has a very sturdy clip that locks on strong and looks good too.)

I bought one of the very first available right here at sweetwater...it was not a good experience. I contacted PRS and said it was having charging and battier issues. They contacted me immediately and said they we're aware of the problem and they were sending a new one. The new one worked perfectly and I have bought 3 more and they all work flawlessly. if you are used to a snark or some of the less expensive tuners you will really enjoy how much better the PRS tuners are for not much more. These crush a snark of any kind I ever seen or used. I'm that guy who fights with his clip on tuner cuz I have ears! ....this is not the case with these...I don't know what they do different but all 4 of my PRS tuners match tune and my ears. These are the best clip on I have ever found!

I was scared of all the reviews about the battery, but it's really not bad. It lasts about a week using it a couple of times a day. I keep it near a charger too so it's pretty convenient. The clamps are unnecessarily small but they hold pretty well on my strat, I have to squeeze it into my acoustic to fit, but it doesn't fall off. It's an accurate tuner, I'd recommend it to anyone who is going to use it normally.

I really like the tuner just the battery life is really bad. Lasts like a day after a full charge. Tunes good but be ready to be charging regularly.

I was buying a Blues Jr from Ken Nace and while I had him on the phone I asked if there was anything new in headstock tuners and he told me about the rechargeable tuner from PRS. I asked him to send me one. It is first tuner I have used in years that didn't suck. And I don't have to have a draw full of batteries. Thanks Ken!

I've used it for about a week with no issues. I really like the different tuning modes

LOVE THIS TUNER!! This tuner is SUPER! Works well on my PRS, Les Paul, Carvin bass, Yamaha bass, Hofner bass, and Alvarez acoustic guitar, ALL with different headstocks ~ this fits them all(and damage NONE!). This tuner is Extremely accurate, fast, and easy to use compared to even my Korg DT-1 digital that I have to get out a cable and plug in to each guitar to tune, AND replace batteries. Charge it up to the max when you get it(before you use it the first time), and it will hold its charge for a very long time. I've use it for over 10 weeks and tune everything regularly and it still shows a full charge on the charge bars on its original charge!(I turn it off after I tune everything and don't let it stay on while I play). Very convenient USB charging and NO batteries to change out! The four tuning modes give you a nice choice for what works best for you or you instrument. And what can you say about the Coopers Hawk? GENIUS!!

I purchased this tuner earlier this year, and I really wanted to like it.

It does tune a guitar, but the battery life is laughably short. I can get maybe 3 guitars tuned before it needs charged. On top of the incredibly short battery life, it doesn't tune accurately when the battery gets low.

After 6 months of light home use the tuner fell off of the clamp portion and is now completely unusable.

In summation, you would be better off buying a $5 headstock tuner than this one.

Devices with rechargeable batteries should not drain drain this fast when turned off and not used for a few days. The tuner itself is very accurate, looks great (Nice Bird), but if engineers who designed it couldn't get the battery right, it should have simply been built with a replaceable battery. All of this from someone who very rarely leaves negative reviews.

Like the tuner but as other reviewers have experienced it will not hold a charge very well. After full charge and using it once, the next time I turned it on the battery was half drained. And another time after not using it for over a week it lost charge completely. Like the idea of not having to replace coin batteries like other tuners but hoped for longer battery life between charges. Maybe a bad batch of battery cells?

THIS PRS TUNER IS GRATE VERY VERY GOOD TUNER IS LIKE A GOD TUNER I HANE LIKE 6 OR 8 TUNER AND THIS IS THE BEST TUNER NEVER SLIPERY FROM THE HEAD STOCK ITS STAY VERY TIGHTFIRMLY,HARD TO MOVE WICH IS VERY GOOD and NO slip rubber clip NOT LIKE THE OTHER ONES THEY SLIPPERY FORM HEADSTOCK IS VERY CONVENIENT AND IT CHARGE WITH USB FAST AND YOU DONT NEED TO EXPEND MONEY ON BUYING BATTERYS OR GET OFF OF BATTERYS IN THE MIDLE OF A GIG PLUS THE LCD DISPLAY VERY EASY TO READ DAY AND ON THE DARK
You have the ability to switch between a chromatic, guitar, bass, and ukulele, mandolin., CONGRATULATIONS TO PRS COMPANY VERY GOOD ITEM GOOD QUALITY I WILL BUY AOTHER ONE THANKS Mr. PRS

First.... every time I want to use it its dead even after charging and storing. It is very accurate but if it won't work when you need it's worthless. It's very dim and will only show up in a dim room.I tried to return it and sweetwaters does not pay to return it so it will cost me half the price to get it back to them so they can sell it as a demo to some other smuck. But it did fit very nicely in my kitchen garbage can. Clip on tuners are mostly junk and this PRS tuner is not the exception. Way to blow it PRS!

This thing is not durable. The joint where the screen attaches to the clamp is loose, causing vibrations and making it useless.

Charged the battery to full before using and it's great! Super accurate and a killer design. The battery life has been great and lasted a week after playing my guitar daily. It took about two hours to charge and I was back at it.

This tuner hits the mark in every way but battery life. Yes I turn it off after tuning but also the auto off should work better. It needs to be plugged in if you want to depend on it for sure. I could use it for two small 2 hour sessions then the third it would die or wouldn't turn on because it was dead. Fix this Paul. Would work fine for the average musician.

This is the tuner to get if you have a weird headstock... like the PRS and Breedlove. Of which I have both. It fits better than a snark or a polytune. The Tuner can be a little sensitive. But it does it's job well.

As others have reported if you fully charge this and don't even use it, the charge will only last a few days at best. It essentially needs to be constantly charging if you expect it to be charged when you want to tune. This is just not acceptable for a product like this. And this is from someone who would buy nearly anything made by PRS. It's just a bad design and not how other rechargeable items work. Hopefully, they fix this with a firmware update but in the meantime, I can't recommend this tuner.

Pros

- Good battery life. A full charge lasted me three days. Some of the other less positive reviews harp on the battery life, but I haven't had this crop up as an issue. Just remember to shut the thing off after you use it to conserve energy.
- I like the display. Very bright, very colorful, easy to tell what is happening and easy to see in the dark.
- Nice clip. I prefer the clip on this to my Peterson clip on. That one has a little plastic swivel doo-dad that popped off after a few weeks.
- In head to head comparisons to a Peterson bench tuner I own, its pretty dead on a match. Tuners will never be exactly congruous with one another, so you kinda need to pick a good baseline standard and compare with that. That said, this one is pretty much accurate to baseline.
- Good value. In comparison to the Peterson clip-on, this has fewer features but what it does it does well and is worth.

Cons
- Charging jack. Its a bit tough to get the cable male terminal into the port on the tuner. This also uses micro usb...which I am not a fan of. If you have used any device with micro usb charging ports, you'll know why this can be a problem. Micro usb uses a tiny plate on the female end port. This plate can get bent easily, sometimes broken, and then you're gooched. I would have preferred this would have had usb-c ports, but....meh.
- Plastic arm support for tuner head. This isn't so much a con, basically every clip-on tuner has a plastic arm attached to the tuner display, just a warning to be careful when messing wit the display angle lest you snap the arm, then bye-bye tuner.

The headstock of a PRS guitar is unique. My Snark tuner is difficult to place on the headstock my PRS Custom 24. This tuner places nicely. Sadly this tuner will not hold a charge long. Not long at all. I tuned my guitar & turned the tuner off. The next day I tried to tune up & the tuner was dead. It needed to be charged after not being used for 24 hours. Seems like this tuner cannot be trusted to gig with. Generally speaking PRS products are incrediable. This tuner is not one of those products. I'm very surprised at the unreliable performance of this product. I was expecting more, I got less. Alot less....

I've had it a few weeks and the tuner is good but the rechargeable battery doesn't hold the charge. I gave it a full charge a few days ago and didn't use it, and it's already dead. I don't have this issue with my polytune clip that uses a tiny replaceable battery.

Don't buy this tuner.

I couldn't wait to get this product, and decided to ordered a few. My son plays a Gibson Les Paul, and referred to it as "dope".
Really cannot say enough great things about this tuner. PRS has always made quality, and this is no exception.
FINALLY a tuner that charges via USB.
The price is unbeatable.

I love PRS to bits, but this is not a good product. Battery runs out way too fast when not in use. The end result is that the tuner needs recharging most times you needed... A normal (not rechargeable) battery would have been a better option.

so when I received this tuner i tried it on my Gibson les Paul standard and for some reason it was all over the place bouncing from flat to sharp no matter what I did. I discovered I needed to charge this tuner as it was low on power which partially contributed to the constant fluctuations I say partially cuz after charging it, it was a little more stable on my Gibson weirdly it seemed fine on my acoustic Ibanez with no problems the biggest thing i do not like about this tuner is the automatic shut off at 5 min if one is trying to intonate there guitar or diagnose a tuning problem it is extremely annoying to have this shut off in the middle of what you are doing i wish there was a way to disable the auto shut off but there does not seem to be a way I have had this now for a couple of weeks and I'm not what sure what happened the the last time I went to use this on my Gibson it worked fine so what changed to make it better I'm not sure maybe due to the sensitivity of this thing it was picking up outside noise the last 2 times i used it it was in a relatively quiet room so the tuner does work it just needs to be used in a quiet room cuz outside noise throws it off well trying to hear the guitar

Clips to my PRS better that my Snark. Charged it overnight, without using, it lost some of the charge in 24 hours, where I never used it. Not sure I can depend on it if gigging.

The tuner is fine. This technology has been around for awhile now so I'm not sure how much difference there is in accuracy between brands. I have a few different ones, along with my phone app tuner, and their readings all align.

Pro's

Sturdy

Easily adjustable viewing angle

Rechargeable via USB - savings on batteries

Con's

Base of the clip should be wider and the clamp deeper. This barely fits on the headstock of my nylon string guitar, which is thicker than other guitars. I do mean barely. Initially I couldn't get it to clip on. I have to open the clamp as wide as possible just to get it to nudge over. It will stay, but just a tap pops it right off. This is a disappointing oversight from PRS as my other clip-ons fit just fine.

The display is nice, but really it could be brighter. If it is facing a window the light washes it out. In regular indoor lighting, or even in the dark, it is certainly visible, but not so vivid as the others.

I ordered this tuner mainly for the internal rechargeable battery. After checking the tuner out for the first time I noticed how sturdier it felt than other clip on tuners I've used. You have the ability to switch between a chromatic, guitar, bass, and uke/mandolin tuners. You can also change your pitch from 415Hz to 466Hz. The tuner also saves your settings when you turn it off. It's overall a great tuner!
