Listen Up Personal Sound Amplifier Makes Ease Dropping on Conversations Much Easier

 Listen Up Personal Sound Amplifier Makes Ease Dropping on Conversations Much EasierWhen we first watched the commercial for the Listen Up personal sound amplifier, we assumed that it must be some sort of joke or sketch. “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 TV commercial even includes a shot of a guy at a gym using the Listen Up to hear girls talking about how hot he is from across the room… um, isn’t that concidered ease dropping? We would imagine that this device could be used for a myriad of dubious purposes, especially since it’s about the size of a credit card and thus easily concealable. However, the $14.99 price tag makes us wonder whether or not it’s the Listen Up is just a piece of junk that doesn’t work at all anyway.

    I bought this device a couple of weeks ago…it’s a scum. First, they charge much more than 14.99 and in my case, the system actually recorded 2 listen ins …somehow it added up to 90$!

    After I called them, they first refused to correct the mistake and then gave the voicemail of the manager….and guess what? He never called back .

    The product itself looks cheap and is completely useless, it works like a stethoscope, so when you touch it or god forbid drop it, you’ll hear it!!!!!

    I bought the Listen Up amplifier last week. You have to put the amplifier within 12 inches of the speaker, otherwise, all you hear is static noise. Duh, if I sit within 12 inches of the speaker, I don’t NEED an amplifier. I called the Listen Up customer service office however, because I bought it at a store and not their specific website, they refuse to replace it. They are happy to sell me another for the same price. I don’t think so, no thanks. Yes, it is JUNK. Don’t waste your money.
