Ecotones sounds so exceptional you'll forget it's in the room! Utilizing the latest advances in sound processing, and containing over a thousand natural sounds, Ecotones composes ever changing vivid sound environments and is the premier sound machine for sleeping!

The self contained unit includes high quality speakers capable of accurately reproducing these sound environments without any additional components.

Ecotones has three operating modes:

- Adaptive Mode masks annoying background sounds by dynamically changing the SoundStory to react to changes in the environment

- Background Mode comes on when the room is quiet and automatically dims when conversation is present

- Manual Mode provides a soothing high quality audio environment at a user set volume level

The unit's speaker pair, and 2.4-liter sound chamber have been tuned to produce a full range (90 Hz to 20,000 Hz) of crisp, clear audio. A headphone jack enables private listening. Includes a 120-minute sleep timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, December 9, 2008

By	Jon Hamilton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a great product. I have been having trouble sleeping for years because of outside noise. I had purchased other sound machines, but their sound quality was so poor that the sound that they produced began to annoy me. Ecotones has a very pure high quality sound. Their adaptive feature is very cool and literally makes the outside noise disappear. I am not sure how they do this but there is a lot of technology inside this product. It is a little expensive, but well worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding product!! Highly recommended!, January 3, 2009

By	A. Fang (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a bit skeptical of the "adaptive" claims when I originally bought this unit. However, I have completely changed my mind since actually hearing the device. The response is really impressive! I don't hear traffic noise out my window anymore. This device really does a very good job of making REALISTIC adaptations. When a police car runs by with the sirens blaring, it responds quickly to cover it up. However, most changes appear much more gradual and natural. It's very easy to get lost in the sound. Almost everyone who sees it wants to tap on the table next to it to make it respond. I always get at least one "That's cool!" when they do. I had a couple of questions about the unit when I first got it, so I emailed customer support at ASTI. I received a very detailed response to my question in only a few hours. They were great to deal with. How refreshing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Different from the other sound machines, January 11, 2009

By	Mary Beth U. (Half Moon Bay, CA) - See all my reviews

The soothing realistic sounds actually transport you to the beach, remind you of the campfire or transport you back to warm midwest summer eveings. I could almost see the lightning bugs! This really does deliver sound therapy. If you are in the market for a sound machine, this one is the best.
