To answer the question no it is not backlit but there are still two red LEDs (visible) which indicates the exact tempo (the screen is of course not bright either)

Otherwise it is a useful purchase, I use it mostly for the guitar work has an opportunity to play.
I is not much to add to that is stated previously by a good product that is well done (setting the beat, tap function, headphone jack etc ...) and that the rugged area.

I put 9 because I think (despite the quality) 30 € this is an expensive can.
A yes on the sound of "bib" I do not find them particularly uncomfortable but I think it's a matter of taste.
