Product Description

Editorial Review

The Wild Planet family of toy spy products has been a boon to sneaky little brothers the world over. The Spy Micro Listener features a microphone that clips on to a shirt pocket and a short cord that connects to an earpiece. Obviously, being connected to the person listening, the range of the microphone is not limitless and the sound is more an amplification of immediate sound than a discovery of new ones. But that's not likely to matter much. It still gives the wearer a feeling of being sneaky and catching on to secret clues that others may have missed. --John Moe

A Kid's Review

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Spy Micro Listener (Toy)

The first day I used it I noticed that all that it did was BLOCK OUT some sounds instead of make them louder, so I got rid of it.I've seen stuff way better than that like the supersonic ear I'm going to be getting that.

This review is from: Spy Micro Listener (Toy)

This is another fun toy from Wild Planet's popular Spy Gear line of toys, the "Spy Micro Listener" works pretty good for it's size. It has a clip on the back to clip it to your shirt pocket. As other reviewers mentioned the cord is a little too short, but you can work with it. You simply aim the dish shaped antenna ear in the direction you want to ehar from. It is good as far as 30 feet away for small sounds. You can hear whispers from down the hall or across a big room, it sounds like the person is whispering right in your ear. Like all listening devices it amplifies all sound, not just the ones you want to hear. That bothers some reviewers, but that is the way sound travels.

It is durable, we have had ours without problem for 1 year, and it has the original batteries. This device is also sold with a great belt and other spy gadgets in a kit called the "Micro Spy Kit", also at Amazon. If you need a more powerful listening device for kids, try the "Spy Supersonic Ear" also from Wild Planet, sold here at Amazon. But it is much bigger and cannot be hidden like the micro version on this page.
