Very nice!
Bought this as a b-day gift for my boyfriend after he commented that he likes the one I use at home (different model, about $20 more, larger and not portable). Since he travels out of the country for business and has trouble sleeping, I thought this would be perfect for him. Tried it out a few nights to make sure the sounds all work, etc. and its pretty cool. A wide variety of sounds to choose from. I especially like the zen bells sound, and of course the ocean waves.
Travel Sound Machine
We replace an older sound machine with this purchase. The new one is great. It is lighter, easier to use, and has more sounds. We like the new sounds as we feel they are better than the old ones. When using head phones the old machine had a low buss, the new machine does not had any buss or distracting noises when useing the head phone. A Great buy
Best Sound Machine For Travel Out There
This is the best sound machine for traveling I have found. It doesnt have the big sound power of a larger at home only system, but it produces more than enough sound to work when I travel and even at home. The sound quality is really good. The compact size and 2 time zone clock is really sweet! It has plenty of sounds (19), with white noise being my favorite. It even has a voice memo feature and an amazing adapter with plugs you can switch for different countries. This unit is tough to beat.
Great machine- goo sound
I used this every night - all night. I would wake up when it shut off, so I let it run all night. I never used batteries, and the machine died after only 1 and a half years. It was small and light enough to travel with .
Sharper Image Sound Machines First Rate
I love my new Sharper Image sound machine. I have used a SI for over ten years. I would give this the top rating but it cant compare to the SI Sound Soother 20, no longer available. But dont hesitate getting the Travel Sound Machine if you need a new machine. It has most but not all of the features you need in a sound machine. The only issue I have is that the night light is way too bright. It needs to be able to go dark. In spite of that I highly recommend it.
GREAT LITTLE MACHINE!!!
Great for travel! Hotels are always solo noisy, and hard to sleep because of it, but this little machine lets me relax and sleep.
poor quality
very cheap looking and poor quality, I expected more from a Sharper Image product. The tabs that hold the battery cover in plance broke off the first time I opened it up and the button to set the alarm function did not work.
Not what it used to be
I had an earlier version of this sound machine and it endured many years of almost constant use. I was very disappointed with this latest version. It did not have the same sturdiness, sound quality, or sound volume. I returned the machine.
It works - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !
I have owned several similar sound machines, which I rely on during my frequent travels. I am a light sleeper, especially in unfamiliar sleeping surroundings, but, the sound machine makes me feel at home, as soon as I shut my eyes. I like the dual time/alarm settings that I can program ahead and have one less thing to worry about. The electric power converter/adaptors is handy, but I rely on the battery backup for convenience and assurance.
I cant say enough about this product!!
I purchased this because we like to travel and the one we use at home is much larger. (I never wanted to risk taking ours while we traveled). At home we ALWALYS sleep with a sound machine. This was PERFECT!! We recently went away and used it EVERY night. We LOVE it!!It will be going on ALL future trips. The size & sounds are great.
A Sleep Life Saver
I do not have this exact product, because I bought a Travel Sound Machine from, The Sharper Image, 11 years ago. I am a Flight Attendant, and it has been a life saver on layovers. It blocks out doors slamming in the middle of the night, at the Hotel, and maid service in the morning. I also use it at home. The best!!!! Today I purchased a Sound Soother White Noise Machine (that is not a travel machine to keep in my bedroom at home),so I do not have to take it in and out of my flight bag all the time. Thumbs UP!!!!
Great! Compact, good sound and selection
Makes my sleep so much more restful
GOOD NIGHT ALL!
A good nights sleep away from home is not always easy to come by! But for many years we have traveled with a sound machine so that sleep doesnt elude us. Our machine finally bit the dust, so we purchased the Sharper Image Machine for travel and find it actually better than the "other brand". Large readable time display, and many sounds to choose from, make it a perfect fit for anyone who travels. Highly recommended!
Love it - just what I was looking for...
Just what I was looking for - I am addicted to the soother sounds that my son was using so wanted one for our own. It travels well and has easy to use controls.
It was a great purchase!
I bought this for my wife! She loves it!
Could be louder ...
Gave as gift, just not loud enough.
Love this product. Buying second one.
Travel. Lightweight and it works
Love the Noise!
Very happy with this product. Love the choice of soothing sounds. Very easy to use and program.
Very Happy With This Product
I bought this product to use when traveling and now use it at home as well. It was easy to use for a not so techie type like me. Just as good as my stay at home sound machine so you can use it at home as well as travel.
Great Sound Quality
I love the sound quality. It is calming rather than annoying. There is not an electrical "whining" in the background which is quite distracting.
Great Sound Machine
I generally use this product when I travel. It has a nice rich sound, it has an easy to see display screen and it is easy to use. It is light weight and compact.
MARVELOUS for tinnitis sufferers
I use this because I suffer from Tinnitis. I initally thought on buying it, that it could only be used for the 30, 60, or 90 min intervals described on the packing, and unfortunately gave it a bad rating on the [@] site. However, it can run continuously. I use it with headphones so I dont disturb my wife. Finding quality headphone is VERY difficult.
GREAT REALISTIC SOUNDS AT A GREAT PRICE!
I bought this for a cruise but loved the sounds so much, Im using it at home nightly instead of my other sound machine!
When you need help in going to sleep
I wanted a sound machine to plug into the electric current. The volume controls are good as is the variety of sounds: some for sleeping, others for waking. My only negative remark is that the machine gives off a little too much light, which isnt helpful when trying to drop off to sleep.
Best Things are in Small Packages
This is the second Sharper Image Travel Sound Machine that Ive had. Although I loved the first, and used it for years, this one is better. Slimmer, and thus easier to fit on my night table, and darker, so that it blends with the bamboo, are characteristics that I appreciate, but which are secondary. More important, the time numerals are bigger, and it is considerably easier to set. But most of all, it seems tailored to my lifestyle. I have to get up twice during the night, and using both the "home" alarm and the "travel" alarm by simply touching one button makes this little machine made for me. I have also used a white noise souned blocker for decades(at first to eliminate the street noises of NYC) and really appreciate the variety of truly soothing sounds over just white noise that both of your products have offered. If there were a radio, it would be even more perfect, but then that is inherently impossible!
Doesnt last
It stopped working after just over a year. It costs too much money for one year of use.
Great Machine for going to sleep!
Great for travel most reliable when it comes down to it I know I can depend on it.
I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN AND AGAIN
WE USE THIS ON TRIPS AND AROUND THE BEDROOM FOR SOUNDS TO DROWN OUT THE OUTSIDE NOISE! WORKS GREAT!
Love that ocean sound!
I use the ocean setting. I sleep wonderfully, better than I have in a long time. I like waking up to the bird sounds.
The alarm set buttons dont always work the first time, but that is a small price to pay for great sleep!
The jury is still out.....
Perhaps it was my overall frame of mind the one time I utilized this item which kept me awake a good portion of the night. I never wanted to try it again. The sounds generated did not drown the noise of cars in the street. I lay in bed thinking I would eventually fall asleep and wound up simply losing sleep. Not a great purchase for me.
Sooooooo ... Awesome!!!
Glow in the dark, soothing sound to put my wife to bed; Easy touch and very practical. I could not have made a better choice.
Very Satisfied Customer!!!
I loved this!
I used this sound machine ever night for over eight years. It was the BEST machine I have seen! It lasted through my high school year, moving to college, traveling around countries, and a few more moves from dorm to dorm. It actually died a month after a friend of mine spilled water all over it. I would recommend this to anyone! My favorite sound is Asian garden, its always relaxing.
Travel Sound Machine - Wonderful product
I love this product. It provides the sounds I seek to help me drift off to sleep. And I take it with me when I travel.
I would buy this product again.
I use this product to help me sleep at night. I use it specifically when I wake up and cannot get back to sleep. I like the "fan noise" It relaxes me and I can fall back asleep
" Awsome soothing sounds"
Great sounds for sleeping.
Usable for electrial supplies around the world.
Great product
Our last Sound Machine went kaput when my husband tried to plug it into an outlet in Madrid. This new machine comes with a set of plugs compatible with most countries, so that wont happen again. We use this every night, at home or away, to mask out all that noise that keeps you awake at night. From train whistles to banging doors, this is a travelers best friend. Highly recommended.
not worth the money
sounds recorded in a short loop - and "the seam" in the loop totally audible
Great for travelers!
I am a flight attendant and I need to sleep with "white noise" to either drown out noise from hotels or quietness. I like that you can use ear plugs for this sound machine and that is the way I use it the most. Its perfect for my lifestyle and being in different hotels a few days a week.
hospital staymade bearable
Husband in hospital and needed sound and sound masker to help sleep. Fantastic
AWESOM
I need noise to sleep so I bought this item. The setting of alarm is little complicated but go figure Im blonde....lol just kidding...dont forget what color my roots are. Seriously, there needs to be a case that holds both machine and electrical cord.
Cant live without it!!!!
I have been in themilitary for 20 years and travel extensively. Without this, I would not get restful sleep ever. So much so, that when I doze off, I will wake up from the obvious silence that is my missing "RAIN". The bad news is that I have used this so many years that when it rains out (especially a particularly heavy one), I am automatically lethargic and sleepy. :) Classical conditioning works! LOL. I recommend this to anyone that is a light sleeper or travels. It takes only a few nights to get used to the ongoing sound, then it is slumber-city!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! :)
Sleepn around the world
genius item! traveling for work and always a new city, new hotel, new time zone - this has helped me catch the zzzs I need by always letting my head hit the pillow to the sound of the ocean - buying one for my boss this Holiday
I Wont Travel Without It!
When packing for travel, the Travel Sound Machine is the first item I make sure to take with me. More important than which clothes I take, more important than my personal grooming items, just as important as my essential medicines - the Travel Sound Machine is my assurance of restful, peaceful sleep wherever my next nights rest will be. The Travel Sound Machine - like the restful night it affords me - is essential to both my physical and psychological well-being. I will never leave home without it.
Travel Sound Machine
The original Sharper Image sound machine/radio had a lot more volume then this sound machine only model. Turned all the way up, it provides just enough sound to block noises but I would have expected a louder model
Great product
I purchased this product because I have a hard time sleeping without sound in the background which made sleeping while traveling difficult. This product has several different sound choices to choose from. It also includes a clock with alarm. Its perfect for me.
Sound and Light
Good product, but two big negatives -
1) the blue clock background is very bright in a dark room.
2) the highest volume is not loud enough to drown out some average noises.
That said, it was a constant sound without blips or squawks and I think we will use it quite a bit.
Disappointing :(
I have one of the original Sharper Image Sound machines. Which I love! I wanted a small one for traveling instead of packing the original. The volume on the travel machine was totally inadequate. It didnt go loud enough. For [$] this should not be a factor. Unfortunately, Ill continue to pack my good old original and send this one back.
