Fire Crackler Sound System - CS-FC

I really like this. Sounds just like a real fire!

I ordered two of these - one for my gas logs in our living room fireplace, and the second for the electric stove in our sunroom. I have to admit I had some hesitation about ordering after seeing some of the poor reviews. I am glad I did not listen to them. This little system is perfect! It works well even on the lowest volume in both rooms, and it sounds quite realistic. I can't help but wonder about some of the comments in the reviews, however. Several noted that the loop was very short, and that the sounds kept repeating themselves - frankly, if someone is listening to this THAT intently, perhaps they need something else to do! Other comments referred to the price, and complained that these were overpriced, but after looking at several other similar units, some of which were over $80, I was more than happy with what I paid for mine. In fact, I have another electric fireplace coming for my bedroom, and I have ordered another of these! My only suggestions for improving this would be 1) a remote would be wonderful; and 2) get rid of the tiny screw that holds the battery box closed! UPDATE: I have to add some additional praise for this seller. I ordered another for another electric fireplace/stove unit, and somehow FedEX managed to lose it. The seller contacted me in a matter of hours, and is sending me a replacement. Very much appreciated!

I purchased this the day after my husband bought me an electric fireplace for Christmas. Too bad that electric fireplaces arent all made with the crackling sound built in to them. Shipping was very fast. Battery compartment is easy enough to open with a small Philips head screwdriver. It does indeed sound like a fireplace to me and I like the crackling pop that it includes. I didn't notice that the sounds repeat frequently like others have said. Loud setting is way to loud and has a "rushing" sounding static in it. Medium is better but still too loud for our space as was Low...now if only low setting I could place it upside down on our carpet right in front of the fireplace the sound would seem more realistic as coming from the logs and muffled by the carpet on Low is just right. But since you can't do that and up behind a picture or even in the storage along side the fireplace makes it obvious that the sound is coming from too high up. So after reading reviews of similar complaints I took the advice of what others have posted and I put tape over the speaker. NOW the sound on the Low setting is perfect- even with it p laced in the cubbie right above the top of the fireplace that holds our cable box. So glad people posted about the tape. I used masking tape but I'm sure the use of electrical tape would make it even quieter.

Horribly overpriced item. Small plastic box with three AAA batteries that makes a cheap, staticky fireplace-like noise. An absolute waste of $30. DON’T BUY IT!!!

Purchased with new fireplace. Did not start using until a few weeks ago as the weather cooled down. Have used 6 times. The other day I turned it on in the early morning to enjoy a cup of coffee. Loud pop and the sound was gone. This should not have happened! Very displeased with this item. Sent message to seller with no return response. Can not recommend this item if after a few uses it breaks and no acknowledging from seller. Look at other sellers.

This Crackler system is an excellent pairing with my Dimplex 60 inch. It was actually recommended in the Amazon link to the electric fireplace vendor but I purchased it as an add on after delivery. The fire log crackling sound is realistic. Once I managed to get the crackling in sync with my flames movement, I was lulled to sleep fireside in my recliner. The fireplace is much more enjoyable with this unit. This small unit has a long battery life and great acoustics. It sits unnoticed on my mantle shelf.

Such a small detail to add to a gas fireplace but it really does make a difference!!

I tried to like this. It didn't sound realistic at all - sort of sounded like someone crumpling paper over and over. I figured that would be okay -I mean, my fake Fireplace doesn't look 100% real either. Not expecting perfection. That being said, the sound just was sort of laughable, I don't understand why they wouldn't just record a real fire burning so at least it sounded somewhat realistic instead of the crumpling paper. Then, the batteries died in about 2 days - I had it less than 3 days and it was done. That was enough for me. I took the advice of another reviewer - and just hooked up an old device I had, stashed it behind the fireplace so you couldn't see it and put a Fireplace Youtube video on loop - and Voila!!! Best little fireplace ever - I love it! The YouTube video sounds very realistic - it's a recording of a real fire and it sounds like it. Yay!! Success! It might even be worth buying an old device on Ebay to do this with if you don't have one hanging around like I did. Just use it for this purpose and nothing else. And - the battery never runs down either if you just leave it plugged in. Big thanks to the person who suggested that little hack - I am so happy!!!
