Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ecotones Adaptive Sound Therapy Machine (with Minor Cosmetic Flaws)
Customer Review: It's great but not perfect...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've tried a few of these white noise generators and this, so far, is among the best. I'll try and point out it's pluses and minuses as best I can:
Plus:
Has a nice speaker...sounds great!
Window that shows pic's of sounds is high rez. and nice.
Many sounds (sound story's) to choose from.
Adaptive function is awesome...volume increases with noise sensed.
Timer function works and is cool. Can turn off pic thus killing light.
Volume change...does what you'd expect, nice.
Minus:
Buttons are on flat panel/plastic. Can't push them by feel.
There IS repetition in sounds.
Odd noises...bad sounds.
Explanation:
The sounds are great but despite what the packaging may say, there is repetition as there seems to be in all devices of this type. The rain sound which I love has a two drip repeating sound that, if I focus, drives me nuts.
The buttons are terrible. You cannot press them just by feel, you need light.
Some of the sounds have bad choices...Train; I thought this sound would be great but there is a bell that rings, DOH! don't try to sleep to that! Second sea/wave sound; I thought this would be water sound only but there is a random bird sound (sounds like they missed it in the edit) that interrupts the ocean noise. Rain; has the afore mentioned repeating drip noise.
Other than those caveats, I'd recommend this system.
