![]() ![]() ![]() I could time the loops with some tracks, such as the music and lullabies. It’s definitely good that there is no noticeable break and restart with those. I tried to time as many of the loops as I could, armed with my stopwatch and a lot of patience!Īs expected, I couldn’t tell where the loops restart with many of the soundtracks because they are constant noise with less variability or random sounds. I did discover some extra points that are worth bearing in mind though. After one week of using itĪfter using the Magicteam for a week, I found that my initial thoughts during the unboxing and first tests were accurate. Depending on the particular soundtrack you play, I found it will mask some external noise from other rooms, but won’t completely block out loud noise, such as loud traffic, building works, or music, for example. However, the maximum volume is no match for the more powerful white noise machines. There are many incremental volume settings, which is good, and it sounds clear enough at lower volume levels. Volume rangeĪgain, I demonstrate the volume range in the video, so have a listen if you can. So this isn’t an issue that’s unique to the Magicteam, but it’s important to be aware of this before you buy it. To be fair, many white noise machines, especially the cheaper ones, struggle to reproduce those types of sounds because they tend to have a small and relatively basic speaker that corresponds to the price. Those should sound deeper than they do with the little speaker housed in this device. It clearly lacks bass, which is most noticeable with tracks like the thunder, wind, pink and brown noise. ![]() My main complaint when listening to the Magicteam is that the speaker quality isn’t the best. Most I’ve used only have one or two lullabies, so it makes a change to have a few more to choose from and adds more variety for when you’re bored of white noise or nature sounds. It’s also good to hear five music tracks, which is unusual for these devices. I particularly like that there are so many types of rain, running water, and waves, most of which sound quite good for a budget sound machine. Many white noise machines only have six to 20 sounds, so 40 is a more generous number. I think the variety of sounds is fantastic as there are so many different sounds to choose from. Note that I added ‘river’ myself as the manual listed it as ‘sault’ which I’m assuming is a translation error as it’s unlikely to be ‘salt’ I think. In the video, I play through all 40 sounds, so I recommend having a listen if you can as I’m not going to attempt to describe and comment on all 40 in written form! The hard plastic exterior and feet are robust enough to withstand some knocks. I gave it the classic ‘prod it really hard with my giant finger’ test, which it passed. On the underside, there are non-slip feet to prevent it from sliding off your nightstand if you accidentally knock it in the night. For example, the Dreamegg D3 pro splits the sounds into three buttons, which makes it faster and easier to select the sound you want. The buttons are clearly identified and easy to press, but I would have preferred to have a separate button for the nature sounds, white noise, and fan sounds. The Magicteam is simple to operate, with just six buttons on the top: a power button, a timer selection button, volume up and down, and track left and right. It’s something to be aware of though if you don’t currently have anywhere to plug a USB cable into. They don’t include a power adaptor, which I don’t have a problem with as I already have enough USB outlets and another power adaptor would just end up collecting dust. It comes with a meter and a half long cable, which is a good length and long enough to reach a wall outlet from my nightstand and desk. The Magicteam needs to be plugged in to a standard five volt USB power outlet to work, and will also work if you plug it into a computer or laptop USB outlet. ![]()
