Despite it looking slick and being pretty well built, this product is garbage. It's supposed to work like an ultra-directional microphone, but you can hear everything around you, especially the sounds closer to you (i.e. your own foot steps, traffic noise) that interfere with those sounds you are aiming at. The "frequency" dial is nothing but a volume control. Totally useless.

I was so excited to get this to try listening to nature sounds. Instead all I hear is a buzz. You cant hear anything over the buzzing sound. The instruction manual is impossible to understand. After an hour I figured out how to use the record and playback features. By trial and error, the instructions were translated to english and make no sense. Do not waste your money on this. The naked ear works better.

For one thing, don't order this from the company called ^&&%green house, because they will take thier time shipping it. i paid for express shipping (which by USPS standards should have took 3-4 days) mine took a week and a half. But, its great for children under 7, cub scouts, girl scouts, great for listening to bugs, and your own breathing. But, as far as listening to someone from a distance, it sucks: all you'll get is your own breath.

The sound is exceptionally louder with this device. Great for listening in the woods or for birds. Recording and magnified sight features are worthless. Fun toy, for child or adult.
