I'm concerned about the sound "loop?" In other words, aside from white noise, do the eco sounds repeat over and over in a small time span - say 5 secs

I haven't used all of the sounds, so can't answer to ALL of them. After quite a long time of listening, one can notice a pattern on some of the sounds...but the "loop" is more like 20 seconds or longer, not 5. I mostly use the white noise, which is outstanding. But overall this is the best AM/FM clock radio sound machine I've ever had. The ability to adjust bass and treble (even for the sounds) along w/ the fact you can listen to your iPod through it are just bonuses.

As ColoradoWest mentioned, you may be able to hear some of the loop patterns repeating, but only in some of the sounds. Most of them are very smooth.I also tried the Ecotones Sound Machine (http://www.amazon.com/Ecotones-Sound-Sleep-Machine-ASM1002/dp/B002SMJQT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1397818041&sr;=8-1&keywords;=adaptive+sound+technologies+sound%2Bsleep), and I think for the most part the sounds are more uniform and blend better in the background than the Sound Oasis. But either machine is great anyway!

I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I have never heard a transition or break in the "loop" a very nice continuous sound. My only upset with this product is the set-up - it is not intuitive and I always have to refer to the instruction booklet to make a change.

I have not noticed this sound, however one of my children says she has heard it once or twice. We all agree that it works fine and if there is a noise it is not affecting how well it works.. We have had no problems with ours, it has worked great.

I use the "fan" mode which I find to be very soothing. That mode you cannot tell if there is a short loop. I cannot give you an answer to the loop lengths of the other modes. Overall, I LOVE this product!

Yes. When your loop is playing, double-click the button and it will stop; the LED will flash green. Clicking the button again will start the loop at the beginning.

yes, but at about 8 hours and 16minutes you may hear a slight blip as the audio track restarts - listen closely.

This sounds like audio feedback to me. This mike is VERY sensitive, and if the speakers are ANYWHERE close to the mike, the mike can pick up the speakers, and if there is delay in the audio path, the loop slowly goes into oscillation. Try using headphones to listen, if there the symptom dissapears, that is the problem. With enough spacing between mike and speakers, this problem goes away.

Sounds like you may have a defective unit. I listen to books on CD and there's no repetition. When "pause" is used, it starts up where I left off.

As long as you want.... I created an alarm playlist (with hazard alarms etc.) that is about an hour long and it plays through the playlist until I stop the alarm (or quit hitting snoooooze).

The sound works for ours, but it seems to be a continual thing (not like, press a button), is that what you're seeing?

I do NOT recall any such sounds. I use the unit only occasionally, last a few weeks ago.

I have never had the sounds malfunction. You can choose a 15/30/60 minute timer, or keep it on all night like we do.

No loop feature specifically, and I don't believe I ever left it on long enough to tell whether it restarted from the beginning when it was through. I was more in the habit of hooking up an ipod shuffle (which looped). I'd check on it, but it's boxed up at the moment.

Not normal, but remember that the sound will come on at the last volume set so if you left it up high that's the way it will start up. I don't believe we have any problem in a delay to set the volume though.

The audio is fine. I usually have mine turned off & only use it when I want to.

I would not count on it for white noise. Have you checked into a sound machine?

I was concerned about the same thing; however ,I purchased these headphones anyway. The ECO V300 that I received has a "MFB" button (multifunction button). It also happens to be the button that turns the headphone's Bluetooth setting off.

I only use the white noise setting, so I know you can keep it on one sound at a time for as long as desired. Not sure if there is a way to rotate the sounds automatically.
