Headphones and battery
The headphones are way to big I’m an adult and they’re to big for me much less a kid.Once you finally get the battery compartment open and put battery in you can’t get cover back on. What’s the point of getting them

Doesn’t work
I’ve tried all this time to make it work … It won’t work !!!! Too much money for nothing !!!

Toy Good for Entertaining Kids, Not a Real Parabolic Mic
Pros:- Cheap- Looks cool to kids- Soft overmold on grip is pleasant to handleCons:- Very little directional discrimination for sound pick up (hears everything behind the dish near equally- 9V battery bay doesn’t tell you which way the battery goes, need to guess- Volume knob does very little, but is loudest when turned the opposite direction as the volume arrow- Headphones are very cheap and fit awkwardly (particularly if you are spoiled by nice headphones)

Not much effect if hard of hearing
I bought one of these for my son years ago and was impressed by how well it worked, that was before my hearing dimmed. I bought one recently and not much of an effect for me, but my wife says she can hear really loud with it, her hearing is sound, she seems to be able to hear my every thought.

It really works LOL
Crazy this thing picks up the slightest whisper from 15 yards away. It’s cool and I recommend for the price.
