Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sonic Super Ear Personal Sound AmplifierCustomer Review: Not a typical user, but it works! Summary: 5 Stars
I am a scorekeeper for hockey games and wisely sit behind a glass wall to avoid being hit by pucks and sticks.
Unfortunately, the thick glass makes it difficult to hear the referees when they report goals or penalties.
Since I couldn't chop a hole in the glass, I was looking for a simple, low cost way of hearing what the referees had to say. Wireless microphones were way too expensive and required the referee to wear equipment. I tried using a baby monitor, but it was too large and heavy, difficult to mount, picked up all ambient noise, and did not have a provision for headphones.
I came across the Sonic Super Ear Personal Sound Amplifier and, combined with an audio extender cable, it does the job!
PROs:
1. Small and compact
2. Built in, muffled, somewhat directional microphone.
3. Built in amplifier.
4. Headphone output jack
5. Volume control on amplifier unit
6. Headphones included
7. Screw-on clip for mounting on the edge of the glass
CONs:
1. Relatively short cable does not allow for listening to sound sources that are not "line of sight".
2. Volume control is on the amplifier unit. It would be nice if it where on the headphones.
What I would REALLY, REALLY like is a unit like this but with a provision for a wireless headset, and a a similarly modest price.
