Listen Up :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Ever wonder what people are talking about across the room? With Listen Up, you can discreetly listen in. It's so powerful, you can hear even the softest whispers loud and clear. The amazing Listen Up is smaller than a credit card, so it fits easily in your pocket or clips to your belt. To use it, simply insert the earphones and adjust the volume to the desired level. It's that easy! Now you can turn a TV or radio down to low volume for other people in the room, and turn your Listen Up to high volume for yourself!

Doesn't do what it is advertised to do.

Amplifies EVERYTHING, including background noise. Also unless held totally still, amplifies sounds of touching the unit (static) and any slight air movements (whoosh). (Can't have fans in room, can't have open doors to outside, can't have any one even walk by, or you cannot hear.)

It does not work effectively :--)

I threw the Listen Up away the day I received it. It wasn't worth the hassle to return it. The microphone is attached to the ear plugs (it should be separate so it can be placed next to the TV speakers), and it amplifies everything in the room, not just the TV. Dreadful product. I ordered a more expensive product with a separate microphone... I'll let you know how it works...

This product works great on anything far away. I purchased this so the TV could be turned down as my parents keep it very loud. They heard conversations all over the house, some outside, but not on anything close by, especially the TV. Non-useful.

Great concept, poor execution

We bought this thinking that it would help my husband's father not have to turn up the television so loud to where it bothers other people. It really does amplify the sound, but not the sounds that you want. For example, if there are children playing in the room, it picks up them more than the television. When you turn up the volume, there is an annoying noise and hurts your ears. You have to turn the television up to a somewhat normal level before you can hear it in the Listen Up and by then, it starts to bother other people in the room. It's sad because it is a good concept but very poor execution of the final product.

Not good,

This device will NOT perform as is advertised.
If you try to adjust the volumen it hurts your ears
just by touching it.

Would be perfect if it didn't pick up so much background noise. Good for night use when house is quiet.
