VellemanMK136 Super Stereo Ear

Liked this kit so much I bought 2. Fun to assemble, and nice to play with. Microphones are far from directional, so you can't be in a room with ANYTHING noise-making (e.g. fridge, heating pipes) or else all you will hear are your appliances. One issue is that the microphones are wired up in the opposite direction, so the left microphone feeds into your right eat and the right feeds into your left even if you put the kit together correctly.

Good soldering kit. No leaflet instruction booklet. The instruction is printed on the back of the box' cardboard (inside).It does amplify sound, but don't expect to be able to hear it super well like superman or daredevil.It's a good beginner's practice board.The instruction for the microphone installation is a little bit confusing for which part is + and which is -. So be careful.No case to cover the parts.

Overall I found the kit fairly easy to build. Only the microphones provided a challenge. More so because I wanted to build a case to put it in to make it more practical to use outdoors. I found a video on Utube that suggested using screw terminal blocks, soldered to the board to mount the microphones. So I tried it and it works great. I found though I had to super glue the connectors to the board to keep from loosening the solder connections from the board. I later added a power connector so I can run it and a bluetooth transmitter off of a rechargable 5V battery battery pack. I retained the built in battery option. It works well this way and will run for a long time from the battery pack.

you get what you payed for... but is good soldering practice

sold as advertised. enjoyable to build and use.

This has been my training kit for soldering. Kids love it. I attached it to my robot tank and routed the headphone output on this to an FM transmitter (another good kit to try). Next I'll hook it to a pan/tilt rig so we can aim it. I didn't attach the microphones directly to the module, instead have them on some longer wires so I can move the 'ears' independently from the main unit.

This amplifies the background noise more than anything else. I can hear voices better without it.

Product works very well, almost too well. The microphones are so sensitive that when you turn the volume down, the rubbing of your fingers is amplified.I use the circuit board to help my father listen to the TV without maxing out the volume. Set the unit in front of the TV and connect the output to a Bluetooth transmitter for headphones.
