Discovery Exclusive Phil Harmonic ™ Audio Developer Review
I was into this toy more than my kids. I like the music selections for Stage 1. They are so soothing. Neither of my kids got into the games for the older stages (6-18 mo.). However my nephew who is 6 enjoys the older stage games where they build songs with silly sounds.

Not What I Expected - Regina M. Powell -
I bought this product for my granddaughter as she loves lights, sounds, music and shapes. I do not know how children of any age could learn how to use this toy because my daughter-in-law and I both had a very difficult time trying to figure it out. My granddaughter does love the lights and the sounds. I cannot see how educational this toy could possibly be for anyone younger than 14 or older.
Keeps my baby very occupied! - S. Bunts - El Paso, TX
I got this as a gift when my baby boy was born. I love it! The songs and rhymes are both soothing and attention grabbing. He loves watching the lights and now he is batting at the big buttons.
Repetitive, annoying toy - greg-x - Mount Prospect, IL United States
It seems like a great toy, and it does deliver with lights, sounds, and nice renditions of kids songs. It has a nice concept of growing with your child, too, offering new functionalities based on age.
Unfortunately, where it falls very short is the repetitive voice that says to press a button. Most other electronic toys have an automatic shut off, rather than use a voice to remind you to push a button over and over again. It's unfortunate, but it's a significant design flaw that's annoying to parents and kids. Ours is gathering dust.
For its high price, I cannot recommend this item.
"Hit the lit button" - Love42 - Los Angeles, CA USA
I was so excited to buy the Phil Harmonic when I was still pregnant and the first stage is really soothing with beautiful music. And I still used it with my baby for the first few months. But then as the stages progressed the less soothing and interesting it became. To be honest the games in the fourth stage don't even make sense! It fact it's really annoying! Rather then let the child explore the sounds and music while pushing and sliding the buttons at a normal pace, the child hears "hit the lit button" over and over and over. Sad to say this one is collecting dust somewhere in my garage.
