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

Customer Reviews

Supersonic Ear
Ordered this item and it looks GREAT!
Unfortuneately it did not work. Had a short in the button.
Returned it and am awaiting refund. Good customer service.

NOTE i repleaced this item through local merchants in my area and after the third one with the same problem we decided to not purchase this toy.

Fun, but only when you're trying to hear through a wall
I bought this toy a couple years ago, and I keep it in the same place that I keep all my Wild Planet stuff. It works pretty well if you only want to use it to hear through windows and walls with the microphone, but if you're trying to hear far away there's a website called www.gadgetuniverse.com that, if you go to the spy section, has a nifty device that lets you hear, see, and record sounds and things up to 300 feet away! Overall, it's good if you need to hear through a door or if you want a stethoscope that's more powerful than most, but if you want to hear far away the other device I mentioned works much better and (in case you were wondering) costs 50 bucks. Cool!

Cool but not useful
I got this as a christmas gift and i thought it was pretty cool until i started using it. It doesn't work at all. It looked really "modern technology" but it does't do anything but make thumping noises. Once when i tried to hear through the wall, i suddenly beeped really loud and it hurt my ears so i returned it. Please don't waste your money unless you have maybe a 5 year old that's just pretending to be a spy and not actually using the toy.
