Product Description

Editorial Review

Across the yard or playground, through walls and windows, and even through flesh and blood, this electronic listening device pulls in and magnifies sounds to give its user a supersonic earful. Put on and plug in the lightweight adjustable headphones; angle the sound dish toward the sonic prey; then press the power button. Wow! Even far-away, whisper-soft noises come in with amazing clarity. To listen in on other rooms or for outdoor sounds, place the detachable microphone on a wall or window. And to tune in to hear a heart or stomach or lungs, use the mike like a stethoscope--it's amazing how loudly folks (and pets) thump and gurgle and whoosh! An automatic limiter prevents harmful volume levels. The Supersonic Ear requires one 9-volt battery (not included). --Ava Natov

Ear in the direction of the sound, pull the trigger and you are ready to listen to sounds no one else can hear! An automatic volume control ensures that the volume is always at a safe level. Powered by a 9-volt battery (not included).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for adults too, November 3, 2000

This would be a great buy, as it is tons of fun for both you and your child. You can hear whispers from across the room, and the headphones make it so only you can hear. The trigger is a little strange to get used to, as you have to point the gun-type device at what you are trying to hear, and click the trigger. All in all, it is a fun toy for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for ALL ages, March 5, 2001

By A Customer

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought two of these - one for a 10-year old nephew, the other a six-year old nephew. Both loved it and play with it often, when they can get it away from their dad, who has just as much fun with it! I've heard that they have used this to "hear loud" when mom has told them to turn down the TV. They've eavesdropped on older siblings and cousins, and thought they were super spies. Now my brother-in-law wants to buy another to give to a deer hunting relative. Great product, and a big hit at Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Storage, November 23, 2000

This toy is great fun! Tough to store with the "Dish Shield". But can be used without it. The shield just helps to block out background noise. But if used in a quiet area...........no TV, radio, or Cd playing...........it works just as well! Have had a lot of fun with this! Listening to birds in tthe backyard, as well as my little 9 yr old spy, listening to his brother behind closed doors. Hey it even proved to work when given to his "Hard of hearing grandfather! He really had fun then! Very versatile toy,
