 Packaging FAIL July 23, 2010
Scott (Atlanta, GA United States)
Sad that I had to to go Amazon reviews to figure out how to get the wires out of the cube. Used some pliers but as I pulled the wires out some of the plastic casing around the wires was stripped off and will forever be entombed within this God-forsaken cube.
 Amazing Musical Baby Toy...Finally! July 20, 2010
Haley Montoya
Most musical baby toys are terrible. The songs are poorly arranged and annoying as hell. This box plays enjoyable tones and tunes that baby can mix and match to create either a fuller orchestra sound or solo instrumentation. I bought this toy for my baby niece and she has loved it since about 4 mos on (she will be 1 soon). It is fun yet low key, durable, and as long as the batteries aren't dying it sounds great! I highly recommend this toy as an early intro to music for your small child.
 Average toy with difficult packaging & incomplete instructions July 16, 2010
CA Mom
After receiving this toy as a gift, I had the same response as many of you lately: this thing sounds terrible. I was also frustrated that the wires attaching the cube to the packaging were so difficult to get out (it's attached with two wires that run inside of the cube for about two inches). Here was the response I got from the company:
"Thank you for contacting us, we recognize that customers like you have made Munchkin the company it is today, and we truly appreciate hearing from you. I'm very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your Mozart Magic Cube. To remove the packing wires the best thing to use is a set of pliers. Hold one end of the wire with the pliers to pull the wire up and out and use your free hand to push the other end of the wire in. Doing this "push and pull" motion will free the wire. As well, do not worry about putting a little force into removing the wire for it will not damage the toy. In regards to the sound, the Mozart Magic Cube only comes with temporary "try me" batteries so the consumer can try the toy in store before purchase. As stated on the attached instructions, 3 AA alkaline batteries are required in order for the cube to work/sound properly."
So basically, what you have is a baby toy that requires pliers and force to get it out (certainly they could have come up with something easier!), and you're somehow supposed to know that because they say they are "try me batteries" that that means you need to replace them immediately to get better quality. The instructions say that there are "try me batteries" included and do state that the toy requires 3AA batteries to work, but nowhere does it say that the "try me batteries" won't ever provide proper sound even when new. I'm new to the world of infant toys, so maybe this is common, but my thought was that "try me" would just mean that they're not going to last long. Since this toy came from amazon.com and had obviously not been tried out in a store, I didn't think the batteries would need to be changed out immediately. But here, "try me" batteries means that they're junk batteries that are of poor quality even as new (even though they say "super heavy duty").
With new batteries, the sound still wasn't spectacular, but it was an improvement. So all in all, it's an okay toy, but know that it's going to take some work before your child can even play with it. Have your pliers, batteries, and screwdriver (for the battery door) ready if your child is going to want it right away!
Great gift for 1 year old July 15, 2010

bought this for my niece's first birthday - she loves it, as do her parents. The melodies are all pleasing to the ear, so it's hours of entertainment!
