The Nature Sounds Box from Satisure promises a relaxing soundscape for the bathroom, hallway or other living spaces.
The integrated motion sensor automatically plays nature sounds such as birdsong, the sound of the sea or babbling brooks when someone approaches. Nine soothing nature sounds promote relaxation, stress reduction and a pleasant atmosphere in the room. The box has an individual volume control and can therefore be used to create either a subtle background atmosphere or a more intense soundscape.
The timer function can be set to four different intervals with a duration of up to 60 minutes. However, the box itself cannot be switched on and off individually.
Overall, the Nature Sounds Box from Satisure offers a successful concept for anyone looking for more peace and relaxation in their everyday life.

- Motion sensor for automatic activation
- Individually adjustable volume

The Satisure Nature Sounds Box was delivered in a pristine shipping box, so the item arrived undamaged and with no visible transport damage.
In terms of packaging sustainability, hardly any unnecessary packaging waste was used ; only a thin plastic protective material around the box and the batteries provides additional security. The shipping box and the product box are precisely tailored to the box, so that the product is securely fixed in place and no unnecessary material is used.
The contents of the package corresponded completely to the description. In addition to the nature sounds box itself, the necessary batteries and multilingual instructions in five languages were included. These are clearly structured and easy to understand. This makes commissioning simple and possible immediately.
Overall, the Satisure Nature Sounds Box makes a very positive first impression. Product protection, sustainability and completeness have all been taken into account very well.

In most of the scenarios tested, the motion sensor of the Satisure Nature Sounds Box worked reliably and without any noticeable delay. Movements were detected from various distances and angles, so that the automatic activation of the nature sounds worked smoothly.
The audio quality of the nature sounds is also good overall. The sounds are authentic and create a realistic sound atmosphere. Only the sound of the sea was a little too loud in places, and in the case of birdsong, it was noticeable that the sound was repeated, which indicates that the audio editing was not optimal. However, these criticisms were minor and hardly detract from the overall impression.
The volume control, on the other hand, was completely convincing. It works smoothly and precisely, allowing the sound intensity to be adjusted individually.
The same applied to the stability and sturdiness of the speaker. Even at maximum volume or when subjected to slight impacts, it remained securely in place and gave a robust overall impression.
The timer and switch-off functions worked reliably on the whole, although there were occasional minor delays when switching or activating via the sensors.
Overall, however, our practical test confirms that the Satisure nature sounds speaker, with its good sound quality, precise control and robust stability, is a recommendable solution for anyone who wants to enjoy relaxation and nature sounds in their everyday life.
