But I got it at a great price and decided I had to try it out, with the option of selling it at no loss if I didn't dig it

And the price could t be better.

Great price, prompt shipping... product is exactly as described.

They're roughly the same price, but a bit more versatile (although bigger), and at least in comparing the ER-1 to the Beats, sound considerably better (the Beats snare issue is annoying, but not a total deal breaker if the other pros outweigh that con).In summary, I think these are really great, affordable little machines

The Korg Volca Keys is an amazing product at a remarkable price

I think it is very well priced.
