I have already tried the N600, bigger brother to the N500 here on test and the two devices are functionally very similar. The slightly more expensive N600 has a different and rather more unusual design and incorporates a very attractive nightlight. As regards audio features they are pretty much just as good as each other.
This N500 is designed to help you drift off into a calm and relaxed sleep using white noise and natural sounds to relax, focus the mind and distance you from nearby distractions. When working I find that far from sending me to sleep in fact it helps me to focus on the task in hand.
The White Noise Machine arrived nicely presented in an attractive mid-market box adding to the appeal of the product as a gift. Along with the device itself was a short USB to the micro-USB power cable and a small but well printed and easy to read User Guide.
The circular device looks rather futuristic and a cut above the rather dated and industrial looking rivals I have tried. It is rather like a bedside radio and indeed it is a pity a radio could not have been incorporated into it. On the front are buttons for sound mode group, sound selection, Power, volume down and volume up. On the back is the micro-USB power port, timer mode selection, and 3.5mm audio out port
Build quality seems first-rate with nothing looking likely to break or fall off and nothing that little fingers can come to harm by if the device is used in the nursery.
Thirty separate sounds can be selected easily from the front panel. Press the first button to select the sound type - including white noise, fan sounds, rain, wave, etc, press the second to select from the audio samples within the selected group. Select the volume level again from the front panel. The rear bay has a turret switch to select the timer option: thirty minutes, sixty minutes or continuous. There is also a standard 3.5mm jack socket to allow headphones or external speakers to be used.
I found the device worked well with decent sound quality and loud enough for use in larger rooms. It is a pity that no radio is included and a pity too that there is no option for battery power. Nevertheless, this is still a very decent piece of kit with high end looks, a far wider range of sounds available than usual, stylish design and good build quality.
The current Amazon selling price of £26.99 is good considering the quality, ease of use, and features on offer although many users may prefer to may slightly more for the feature enhanced N600.
