can this little device help you sleep
0:01
better let's find out Dave Taylor here
0:14
and unfortunately it's really bad
0:16
weather outside oh wait no listen it's a
0:20
thunderstorm that's not actually let's
0:23
turn this off for a second and haha it's
0:30
not raining outside I'm looking at this
0:32
this is the HoMedics sound spa ultra
0:35
portable sound machine I love these
0:38
things I love sleep sound machines I
0:41
spend time in hotels anywhere I go I
0:44
really want to have a nice background
0:45
noise not something where I'm having to
0:48
hear or be aware of the environment
0:50
around me and homedics has done a really
0:53
nice job with this for one you'll notice
0:55
it's battery-powered I don't need to
0:58
have it plugged in turns out that with a
1:00
four-hour charge zero to 100 it'll run
1:03
for 12 hours if you're getting that 12
1:05
hour night sleep you are rocking it and
1:08
I am impressed I do not sleep that much
1:10
but this little device it's super light
1:13
and comes with a dozen different sounds
1:17
and the sounds range from ocean and
1:20
rainforest and thunderstorm we're
1:22
listening to thunderstorm to Zen and
1:25
energized and campfire and gentle rain
1:29
and I just love this thing I just love
1:31
devices like this and it's super easy to
1:34
work with you have a 15 30 or 60 minute
1:37
timer if you want it to turn off in the
1:39
middle of the night and volume up and
1:42
down that's all there is to it so you
1:44
push the power button and should come on
1:49
there we go push the power button then
1:52
let's go to
1:56
let's do dockside and I'll put this
1:59
closer to the mic so you can hear
2:04
it's not just relaxing I mean honestly
2:07
even if you're not gonna use this for
2:09
sleep imagine having something like this
2:10
in your office so you don't have to hear
2:13
all the chatter around you very nice
2:16
very calming now what you will notice is
2:19
that it has a charge input on the back
2:22
it doesn't have any audio in or audio
2:25
out and it's not bluetooth it's just a
2:27
simple it's so calming I have to turn it
2:33
off seriously
2:35
so it's just a simple sound machine it
2:39
just happens to make really good sound
2:41
and you know earlier generations of
2:43
these had like a 30 or 60 seconds
2:46
snippet of audio and then it would just
2:47
play that in a cycle and these more
2:49
modern devices don't do that so you
2:51
could listen to this for hours and
2:53
you're not gonna hear repeating you're
2:55
not gonna hear it suddenly click over to
2:56
going back to the beginning of its
2:58
recording it's just a much better design
3:01
than that and the way that I'm choosing
3:03
between them you see in the close-up the
3:05
picture is that you just rotate the
3:08
center and it's very subtle but the
3:10
choice you make actually lights up not
3:12
super-bright might have been nice to
3:14
have a little black notch on the dial
3:16
that pointed to the one but whatever
3:19
it's all good and volume up and down
3:21
time air power that's all you got and
3:23
here's another thing they did that I
3:25
think is super smart is there's a lock
3:27
on the bottom so when it's off you can
3:30
push on the travel lock and that means
3:33
it won't turn on even if it's in your
3:35
suitcase and there's a book or something
3:37
else literally sitting on the power
3:39
button pushing it cuz a lot of devices
3:42
don't really think that part through and
3:44
it's really frustrating to get somewhere
3:46
just to find out your electric
3:47
toothbrush or your razor has been on the
3:50
whole time and now it's dead so you end
3:52
up having to either either travel with
3:54
your charger or you have a dead device
3:56
now this is nice because it charges off
3:59
of a micro USB so you can plug it into
4:01
anything you could easily leave this
4:03
plugged in to your computer for a couple
4:06
hours and you'll get a full charge out
4:07
of that comes with the cable it doesn't
4:10
come with a wall charger that's pretty
4:12
common nowadays you have so many
4:14
different ways you can plug into USB I'm
4:16
sure that this is a pretty easy solution
4:19
now before I tell you the price of this
4:21
and I got to say huge fan really like
4:24
