 about the bright display light....... September 2, 2010

i covered the display light by adding a peice of dark nylons under the plastic film that it came with. works for me.
 Like it so much I've bought three August 27, 2010

We never thought we would like sleeping to a sound machine, but when we tried it we loved it. It is very soothing...I love listening to the waves. The sound quality is not the best, but for under $50 it's just fine.
There is volume control, so I'm not sure why some said it was to loud. I don't notice a lot of backlight either. I like the fact the time is so big so I can see it in the middle of the night.
We liked it so much, we bought a sencond one for a guest bedroom, and our company has enjoyed it too. I have just purchased a third for our other house since my husband said he missed listening to the waves at night.
Why so many complaints? August 18, 2010
A. Fetterman (New York, NY)
I've been a Sharper Image fan for some time, due in large part, to their Sound Soother products. After having bought two (2) of these EC-B100 products, my total Sound Soothers number six. I've had expensive woodgrain, modern, portables, and now these and I've put them through many miles of travel and years of daily use.
So why on earth is their so much bashing about this product? It's unclear to me. Specifically:
1. I found these units to be plenty variable with respect to their contrast and light emission. In no way are they distracting from my sleep - and I am an extremely light sleeper. In fact, I have two EX-B100s on both sides of my and my wife's king side bed. True, they are dimmed all the way, but we both sleep just fine. There is plenty of room for increasing the brightness; however, it's just not necessary.
2. To those other buyers who complained that the soothing is so loud that it keeps them awake, all I can report is the following: Either there is tremendous user/operational errors or Sharper Image responded by provided more than 8 variable sound levels ranging from super quiet to yes - very loud.
3. Not that this unit is without fault....mind you, I'm picky only after having had many other Sound Soother units. To begin with, I really miss having an auxiliary sound input (for either CD, iPod, etc.). I also miss having an AM/FM radio in the unit....something that most clock radios include. Finally, the stereo separation isn't as good as it gets with older units....however...to the users who complained that the sample loops were highly discernable in a distracting way, please be advised: I am an audio engineer by trade and get paid to create loops all day long. I simply can't distinguish the, on this unit...and I know that you will like the quality.
Lest you think that I'm an employee for the Sharper Image....rest assured, I am not.
Just simply a satisfied customer who - every now and then - enjoys standing up for a great company and successful product line.
 Nice concept..poor design. August 17, 2010

Ok..I love the footprint of this. Fairly small and unobtrusive. Has a nice look to it. Has a very large library of "relaxing" sounds. Those are the pro's...here come the cons. While this clock/radio has a large library of "relaxing" sounds they are ALL on 3 to 5 second loops. In other words, the crickets or frogs or foghorns or whatever repeat themselves over and over and over. This is anything but relaxing..in my opinion it's the opposite of relaxing..it's pretty irritating. I've had sound machine radios in the past that at least had 30 second loops which was still too short but not nearly as bad as this machine. The display....OMG it's bright..it's like a freaking blue streetlight in a completely dark room. It comes with a 3 position brightness control but there is very little difference between the settings.
While I love the concept of this clock/radio it falls way short of being practical. I will be returning mine in the next couple days and continuing my search for a well designed replacement.
great purchase July 29, 2010

i really enjoy my new clock - the sound options are great and some are soothing enough to listen to all night to help me sleep and drown out the sounds of the city.
