The sound quality and features are great BUT—- the computer chip inside keeps freezing up, and the machine stops. It is easy to reset the computer chip by disconnecting the machine for 30 seconds, but that makes the time/alarm feature useless. It has frozen 3 times in the last 10 days, always during the night. Stick with the basic sound machine.

As other reviewers have stated, this is an incredible sleep aid system, with crisp sound quality and a wide variety of sound choices. The sleep enhancement features lull you to sleep gently, it has been very effective with bouts of mild insomnia. Have tried another unit from Sharper Image, this Sound Oasis is FAR superior in quality and features. The unit design is elegant and in many ways brilliantly simple in its operation.
Now for the BUT – if you are looking for an easy to use and effective alarm clock, this may not be the one. It only has one alarm which is extremely slow to set, having only one button to set it forward and not back if you overshoot. Although it has an effective beep for the alarm, if you choose to wake via sounds, the only choice is the one you fell asleep to. Hard to get out of bed with the relaxing sounds of waves or hypnotic spa rhythms! Wish you could set separate sounds for sleep and wake. The long snooze duration, a full 10 minutes that cannot be changed – is a bit too long, just long enough to fall back asleep completely. Its also far too easy to mistakenly hit the snooze button twice, which effectively turns off the alarm for the day. These flaws make for a frustrating alarm clock, even thought the unit is the best sleep aid I’ve ever used.

I have had a basic Brookstone sound machine that is a good 10 years old and was ready to upgrade. I am always so relaxed and sleepy when I am at the spa or getting a massage so I thought the Spa Sound card would be a nice change from the usual ocean sounds and thunderstorms. I like that this machine is very light and there are a lot of cool features like the “sleep enhancement” button that gradually slows the sounds down as the timer goes down and so somehow is supposed to lull you gently not just cut off abruptly. I am usually asleep way before then so cannot tell you if its true but I suppose it works as I have not had any trouble falling asleep. I like the different sounds and the music. I have had this for a week and half now and am loving it EXCEPT the alarm and clock setting feature. You have to set it with only one button and can not set the hour, minutes and am/pm separetely. So setting the alarm to one time and then trying to change it to another is nearly impossible. I use my phone as an alarm so it is not a hige deal for me. If you are looking for great sound machine I reccomend this. If looking an easy clock/alarm, not so much.

Disappointing. The sounds were different than described, and when changing out the sound cards, one was not not working.Returned and got Homedics.

The clock function buttons are a bit stiff but the sleep function and the sounds are great. I haven’t used the spa sound card yet. I have always had trouble falling asleep but I am finally able to get to sleep.
