Customer Reviews of Obus Forme Sound Therapy Relaxation System
Customer Review: helpful tool
Summary: 5 Stars
We got a sound machine for our baby when he was still in our room in the hopes that when we moved him to his room we could put it in there and the room would be familiar to him. The first one we got from a local store had all the same sounds as this one but it would turn off after an hour! I wanted him to have a constant sound all through the night as when he woke he would be able to go back to sleep. I searched through all the reviews and this one had that feature. Our son loves it and so do we! We don't have to worry about being quite when he is sleeping because this blocks out most sound. We only use the white noise feature for now but maybe when he gets older we will use others. What we also like about this is that its small enough that you can travel with it. We are planning a trip soon and I look forward to being able to take as many of his things with us to make it feel like home.Customer Review: Has a FATAL FLAW!
Summary: 1 Stars
This machine electronically "loops" a digitized 3 to 5 second file of each sound rather than producing a truly random sound. Because of this fatal flaw you hear tiny little "defects" or imperfections in some of the sounds which it is capable of generating. My favorite is white noise where the defects are especially audible. So, as you're trying to fall asleep your mind will quickly become aware of these defects and "anticipate" them mentally, causing you to probably "time" them in your head. An incredibly subtle defect, but it has devastating consequences for falling asleep.
This is a common problem with all of these cheaper sound therapy machines. The better ones don't seem to have this problem.
Mine is going back to Greal Lakes HHS in Erie, PA, and I'm probably going to buy a Marpac unit.
Customer Review: Relax with Obus Forme Sound Therapy
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for myself after I bought this as a gift for someone else. I liked the features of the off/on button that remembers the last sound you set it on. All I have to do it hit the on button before I go to bed. My last sleep sound machine was the Life Wise. The on/off switch was difficult and was also the volumn control. Then I had to fumble for my sound button each night. I like the white noise to go to sleep with. It drowns out any barking dogs, car noise or snoring. When the grand-daughters come over to stay, I use it to help them fall asleep. Now all I have to do is remember to take it with me when I travel so I can get a restful night's sleep. I recommend this to anyone that has problems going to sleep because of outside noises.Customer Review: Works Great - although....
Summary: 3 Stars
Pros -runs on batteries or AC...gets good mileage from batteries
-easy to operate/turn on when you are half asleep
-gets pretty loud, and the sound quality is quite good
-can set for 1 hour duration, or constantly on
Cons -most of the sounds are simply not useful. I had hopes for the ocean
waves, but they are too close together (have they never heard of
entrainment?). Birds chirping? Sounds like a wakeup call! The only
sound I have found useful is the 'running stream', but hey, it works
really well for this insomniac. I'm glad I found this thing, but wish
they had put more thought into the sounds.
Customer Review: Great buy, lots of options and clear sound quality too.
Summary: 5 Stars
I MUST have a noise machine on, being next to a city firehouse, two babies and a snoring hubby. I use a homedics one and it acted up so I found this via Amazon. I am, we all, are very pleased with it and sleep everynight to crickets or ocean waves. During the day my infants also enjoy the birds chirpping in the jungle theme noise. The extra large volume control feature is exceptional since I have nails and I'm often adjusting it in the dark with little ones sleeping. I bring this when they get babysat and they fall asleep quickly and peacefully.
Warning: you'll get addictted fast to being lulled to deep sleep.
I switch sounds from time to time for a new adventure:) Faith Mc Pav:)
