The system to change the timer isn’t the most user-friendly though. The Evo lets you choose up to eight hours on a timer, or you can leave it on continuous play. The old model has just one auto-off option of 60 minutes. The trademark hexagon shape looks stylish, and the sound can be targeted toward you better than the previous upward-facing design.Īnd with different choices of color, like white, charcoal, and black, it’s a sleek device that will look good on a nightstand or office table. I also like the new angled design of the case and speaker. It’s not as tiny as some of the ultra-small devices, but I definitely think it’s still compact enough to be considered portable. Many sound machines have a cheap feel to them, but the LectroFan Evo looks and feels solid, without being large or heavy. Like the previous model, it’s compact and feels robust. You can see in the photo below that the LectroFan Evo is a compact machine. And they have enough variety in volume, pitch, and distance so that it feels like you’re listening to something different.īut really, the LectroFans are better known for the high-quality digital production of white noise and fan sounds – not nature sounds. On a positive note, the digitally generated ocean and surf are non-looping. Maybe I just have high expectations, but I still prefer a natural recording like you get in the Dreamegg or Sound+Sleep machines though. In theory, you should be able to digitally recreate the chaotic sound of the ocean. I can see where the manufacturer is coming from though. They remind me of the LectroFan Micro’s ocean sound, which is obviously white noise and just doesn’t have a natural feel. I have to admit I wasn’t particularly impressed when I first heard the new ocean and surf sounds. The LectroFan has a setting for everyone. As always with so many options, there are some I find relaxing, and some I’ll never listen to.Īnd that’s fine – some people like deep brown or pink noise, whereas others like intense white noise or industrial fans. Here are the Evo’s soundtracks:įor me, there’s no change to how much I like the individual sounds. The 20 white noise and fan sounds, as far as I can tell, are the same as they were with the original LectoFan. Finally! It’s also good if you want to listen to white noise in bed, but your partner isn’t a fan. No more annoying snoring thanks to the headphone jackĪ common criticism of white noise machines is that you can’t use them to cut out snoring because the snoring is right next to you in bed.īut with the option to use headphones, I found you can cut out snoring much better. I found that for TV next door and traffic, for example, I could put it on a medium volume and cut the sound out just as well. So it’s great that the machine has incremental volume controls. However, listening to white noise on a loud volume isn’t generally advised by sleep experts and audiologists. Going one step further, if you listen to the right white noise setting on a loud volume setting through decent headphones, you’re pretty much guaranteed to create a personal cocoon. The maximum volume is so loud, there’s not a lot of external noise that your ear will be able to pick out. The speaker quality is crisp and clear for its relatively small size, with good bass. Only the LectroFan Classic and Dreamegg D3 Pro match it for sound masking in my experience. The LectroFan Evo is one of the most capable sound-masking white noise machines I’ve tested over the years. This is great if you share a bed or room with someone who doesn’t like white noise, or if you’re studying/working with others nearby. Personally, the most welcome change is the addition of a headphone jack. The LectroFan Classic held the top spot in most online comparisons for years. The LectroFan Evo is the new and improved white noise machine from Adaptive Sound Technologies. I’ve organized it to be easier to scan and find key information.
