Not a fan of Syrinscape or really any sort of "ambient sound" stuff.

In our home games we sometimes play music, but quietly. For things like Syrinscape to work you have to turn the sound up much louder than I find comfortable in order for everyone to hear it. This will vary greatly between groups, locations, music/sfx choice, and sound hardware, but that's my experience.

Similarly, though, Syrinscape was used at one of the PFS Specials at last year's Gen Con and they had to turn it up so loud that it made it hard for people in the room to hear their GMs. (I asked around the next day and then back home about how the Special went and it was something that came up multiple times.)

So my advice is pretty simple: make sure it fits with your group before you commit too much time or money to it.
