Product Description
Color: white/silv
Sound Oasis is a unique sound relaxation product that allows you to create your very own sound environment. By bathing your room with the world's most authentic sounds of nature, Sound Oasis blocks out irritating noises and creates a peaceful atmosphere so you fall asleep easier, get higher quality sleep, enhance concentration and feel more alert throughout the day! Sound Oasis is also a proven tool for coping with the effects of tinnitus. Sound Oasis represents the next generation in sound conditioners by incorporating the world's first "sound card" technology which enables users to add new sounds to their Sound Oasis unit by simply inserting an optional memory card containing 6 different sounds. A jumbo digital alarm clock makes telling time easy and allows you to wake to a buzzer or nature sound alarm. Incorporating a multiposition timer (with 4 selections: continuous, 30, 60, and 90 minutes), a unique "gradual off" volume reduction feature for a peaceful decrease in sound volume, a rotary on/off volume control, headphone jack and an off/ resume button that stops the unit or repeats your last played sequence at the touch of a button, Sound Oasis is a perfect bedside companion. Sound Oasis also features an omnidirectional reflective speaker that projects the sound from the back of the unit for rich, deep sound. The unit's unique design allows the unit to be mounted to a wall, used flat on its back, or in an upright position for minimal use of table space. Sound Oasis can be powered by 4 "AA" batteries (not included) for traveling, or by an AC adapter (included) for convenient use at home or the office.

Color Name:white/silv|Amazon Verified Purchase
Overall, I recommend this product. Just a few complaints....
Normally I am hypersensitive to noise and prefer "peace and quiet." But, at night I prefer sleeping with the fan on to drown out other noises, the television in the other room, etc. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the winter, so I purchased the Sound Oasis S-550-05 Sound Therapy System. It arrived in good time, well-packaged, and with all components in place. But, what struck me first, was that it appears smaller and more cheaply made than in the pictures, and has a small plastic cheaply made stand that could easily be lost or broken, so I use the unit laying down on its' back on my headboard.
The Buttons: The on/off/volume and timer buttons are easy to operate for the most part, but the sound buttons must be pushed firmly to change sounds and this tends to be difficult to do with one hand in your sleep without moving the whole unit. (Just a little pet-peeve of mine for this unit).
The Sounds: There are six built-in sounds; Ocean Surf, Stream, Rain, White Noise, Summer Night and Wind. The Ocean Surf is okay and probably would be the choice for most people. The Stream and The Rain are harsh. Rather than being like a babbling brook or gentle rain falling against the roof or window, they should be labeled "Niagara Falls," and "Downpour."
I bought the machine primarily for the "White Noise," sound, but the white noise as well seems too harsh and irritating.
And, the "WIND????" Well, that's downright obnoxious.
Surprisingly, I use the sound that would most likely be annoying to all other human beings on the planet and that is, "Summer Night." Basically it is the sound of crickets chirping repeatedly, and believe it or not, I find it so relaxing that I've had the best two nights sleep that I've had in a very long time. (Hence the four stars in spite of all my complaints!)
Sound Cards: There is the option to use additional sound cards on this machine which is another reason I purchased it. I have not tried this yet, or figured out how to do so, which would require reading the instructions, but I do plan to in the future and hopefully will be able to find other sounds not quite as harsh or obnoxious.
So, do I recommend it? Yes! Just be aware of some of the downfalls I have pointed out and if you are looking for a decent sound quality in a lightweight, fairly easy to use machine, then this is the one!

I'll start off with I have really sensitive hearing. I bought one of these sound machines when another cheaper mechanical one I had started making a noise not intended. Do not buy mechanical ones if you have sensitive hearing, they get off kilter and start becoming irritating, like the little spinner gets loosened. So I got one of these, best investment I have made so far. As for the sounds: The wind noise is horrible... kinda freaky too if you wake up in the middle of the night to that, but you can kinda tell it sounds like burlap carpeting on a spinning wheel or something. The Rain and Streams sounds are not bad, BUT you can not have them too loud or they lose their identity and just become annoying. The Ocean Surf is okay, but it is not a continual sound, so if you want to try to drown out something like snoring, or dogs barking, it is not ideal. The summer night is nice, you wouldn't think of crickets being relaxing but they have enough frequency to not be annoying. I use the white noise (waterfall) as it is better to drown out the snoring neighbor in the apartment next to mine, but not completely unfortunately.. Not enough bass though (as silly as it sounds) to drown out the bass of someone snoring though or other 'deep' or low tone sounds. If I did not have to deal with that it is a great machine and be loud enough to drown out the sound from barking dogs outside. Another reason why I got it was for early mornings when people take their dogs out at 6am and let them bark their idiot heads off.
I have not tried to use this with Batteries yet (never really travel) so I am not sure if the complaints people are making are because the batteries die out quickly (which may be why the have the timer built in). So I would say if you have this powered with batteries, use the timer and ensure when you go somewhere the batteries are fresh, or recharged.
A note about the expansion cards.. you would be best to go to the sound oasis website to get the cards, as certain cards only work in certain devices and the amazon sellers do not always know, or tell, which card they have for what model. So instead of buying the wrong card, get your model number (it is on the instructions) and go to the [...] site.
Also, No product is perfect.. anything mass produced will have the chance to have an issue with a unit or two. Do not throw out the warranty card like some less intelligent people have done. Just take five minutes, fill it out, and send it in, it was included for possibilities like this. Finally, Keep the box and shipping material in case you need to return it as it appears some have difficulties with these.

My first Sound Oasis purchased from QVC--wonderful and lasted for almost 15 years. i used it 4-5 times a year on vacatlions, etc. Battery life was at least 9 hours a night four or 5 nights in a row.
Finally the knobs just fell off. Purchased a new one a few months back. Worked fine first vacation--white noise great. Wind sound is atrocious. Just got back from second vacation. First night
okay. Second night--kept going on and off; then machine gun sound and couldn't get it to work. Next night tried new batteries--worked okay. Next night continued with previous batteries--conked
out in less than 2 hours. Conclusion I need new batteries every night. Cannot use ac adapter because I use this system camping. This is not the same quality unit. I will search for another system.

Pretty good
We only use the Rain sound. It's pretty good that you don't hear it looping. The price is a bit steep though.

Lower quality than the previous version
We have a s-550-04 and are happy with it. We needed a second unit so we bought the s-550-05. It is of lower quality. Specifically: the timer dial is loose and inconsistent. Read more
