I was looking for a digital spoken tension meter. Something like the DT Swiss one.

The DT Swiss one is close $400. There are some China ones on eBay that look similar for $60.

Anyone know anything about the quality of those?

I use the spoke tensiometer made by Wheel Fanatyk. It also costs an arm and a leg and is probably way more tool than I need for my purposes. Unless you build a lot of wheels I would look at the unit made by Park Tools.

You don't need one.
