This can't be right. That was my first thought when I connected the HXW PD 708 to Ableton Live and experienced a ridiculous 3-second delay. But was it a setup issue or a deal-breaking flaw?

Over three weeks, I pushed this sample pad to its limits—testing triggering, sensitivity, Bluetooth sampling, DAW compatibility, and more. Some features really impressed me, like the customizable LED pads and wireless sampling, while others left me frustrated.

✔️ Great pad sensitivity with minimal crosstalk
✔️ Wireless Bluetooth sampling – a first of its kind
✔️ 32GB internal storage with WAV file support

❌ Cheap build quality compared to pro pads

If you're considering the PD 708, watch the full review to find out if it's a hidden gem or a frustrating letdown.
