My husband really needs his white noise to sleep, and right now he uses an air filter fan that suffices. But now, he loves his Marsona. He’s very sensitive to “patterns” in his white noise, and with the Marsona he was able to manually create the white noise by adjusting its dials. He travels a lot, and never can find good white noise, now it won’t be a problem.

The Marpac sound conditioners are, without question, the best. I’ve used various devices to achieve white noise. I can say with considerable experience that the Marpac ones are more durable and worth every penny. This version (the TSCi) has the distinct advantage of having a built-in voltage coverter which permits it to be used outside the US with only a plug adapter (the European adapter is included). Some years ago, my husband “fried” a previous white noise machine by plugging it in without the voltage adapter and I realized that it’s a very handy feature. Likewise, the Marpac products last a lot longer than those made by other companies. We’ve had several from Sharper Image whose connections have broken out in no time. My husband has a mechanical machine which is >20 yrs. old; I’ve one which is >15 yrs. old. This smaller, electronic version, is perfect for travel (or home). We just returned from a week-long trip to Europe and it worked fabulously. My husband frequently travels to Africa where power outages are common and hotels are very noisy. He’s looking forward to using it with the optional battery pack on his next trip.
