Here’s a luxurious option for improved sleeping

The Nightingale smart home sleep system ($249) is designed to provide a better night of sleep by creating an optimal sleep environment that masks common indoor and outdoor noises.

The system has two rectangular boxes that plug into wall outlets and have pass-through plugs, so users don’t have to sacrifice outlet space.

To use Nightingale, download the free sound app (iOS and Android) and follow the onscreen instructions, which includes an account setup. There is a choice of using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; both work well, but there’s more range with Wi-Fi.

The app enables the user to create the right sound blanket based on the contents of the room. Among the preferences are choices to neutralize snoring or sounds for a child’s bedroom. There are 15 sound blanket perferences.

Also, the perimeter of the Nightingale has a multi-color LED light, which gives off a subtle amount of light to illuminate the room.

Home music entertainment

Electric Jukebox is expecting its new Roxi ($199) “to revolutionize family music entertainment in the home,” according to a recent press release.

Electric Jukebox launched the Roxi hoping it would help families have more quality family time together instead of being isolated with personal devices and headphones.

After a simple two-minute setup with two cables (HMDI and AC power adapter), families will be dancing and singing Karaoke-style.

The Wi-Fi Roxi hub connects directly to a TV or speakers, and the USB-charged gesture-based controller has a built-in microphone for voice search and is ideal for a sing along.

Included with the Roxi is a free one-year unlimited music streaming service premium pass. The unlimited service includes thousands of radio stations and hundreds of playlists, in addition to letting users sing karaoke-style with an endless music library.

The control also has Sound Machine, which includes yoga and meditation melodies, and therapeutic sounds such as rain and white noise. Parents can also block explicit lyrics and content.
