Product Description
Ecotones Duet offers 10 SoundStories - high-quality, mostly natural recordings of relaxing sounds from ocean waves to crackling fires. Its built-in computer and microphone continuously "listen" for intruding noises such as barking dogs, automobiles, overhead airplanes, or loud roommates. In Adaptive Mode, Ecotones Duet dynamically adds sounds to the SoundStory and automatically adjusts volume to offer superior sound masking or neutralizing capabilities. All that's left to hear is a soothing natural sound that minimizes disruptions that disturb or interrupt sleep. As the noises subside, the Duet gradually and automatically returns to normal playback settings.The Duet has been sized to make it compact and convenient to put on the smallest night stand. Despite its diminutive size, the Duet provides incredibly robust audio, letting the sound of nature gently rock you to sleep. All buttons are placed on the front for simple control and easy nighttime operation. A "Display" button turns off all front panel lights for operation in complete darkness at night. Sound richness adjusts at the touch of a button, allowing users to personalize any sound track to their individual listening preferences. The large makes changing sounds in the dark very easy. The device also includes a sleep timer with settings up to 120 minutes.

Adaptive Sound Technologies Ecotones Duet Sound Therapy Relaxation Sleep Machine with Bonus Sleep Therapy Pillow Speakers Review
Like the previous reviewer, I live in NYC and face constant challenges to a restful night. I wanted to buy the original version of the Ecotones sound machine last year after reading about it, but I was put off by the $300 price tag, and wanted to read more reviews before I decided to invest. This year I looked it up again and was thrilled to find this much cheaper version, which has also addressed criticism of the original version (on lighting of the display, ability to manipulate the buttons by touch, etc.). Those of us buying the newer model can thank the "early adopters," I think, as well as the responsiveness of Ecotones. The machine is very easy to turn on and off and adjust even with the display lighting switched off.The first night I used the machine, it effectively masked the sound, but I wasn't used to it and didn't sleep very well. However, with each use I have found it more conducive to restful sleep, as well as extremely effective in masking unwelcome noise. I like all of the "SoundStories" except the "white noise," which just sounds like static. I don't find the "campfire" very restful, either, but that's because living in an old row house makes one rather wary of the sound of flames! I have found that, as the instructions say, a lower "richness" level is more calming for sleeping.
I opted for this model because it came with pillow speakers at the same cost as the model without them. I now see that the model without pillow speakers is being offered at a lower price. In my opinion, the pillow speakers are not very effective, and it makes sense to pay less and do without them. I like to use earphones with mine, which allows the SoundStories to even more completely mask the external ruckus. My little girl loves listening to the machine through its normal speakers.
In short, my recommendations:
1) Stick with the machine for a few tries and get used to it.
2) Enhance its effectiveness by using earphones.
3) Don't be put off by Ecotones' relatively higher price compared with other brands. Based on the consumer reviews I've read of the other types, it's worth paying more for something that's effective and pleasant to use.
