" ... Seems to pick up on baby over other sounds. ... "
" ... I did a lot of research and chose this item especially since it has a configurable threshold for baby noises. ... So it'll remain silent most of the time and only if the baby cries (or a loud car drives by) it turns on the speaker. ... "
" ... Good sound quality . ... "
" ... Love that it has a nightlight that is not too bright, love that it plays music on an automatic timer (15 mins), and love that it’s easy enough for my almost 5 year old to use those two features on his own. ... "
" ... Sound is clear, and cry alert with lights on the receiver when the baby wakes up is great when doing something just a little louder than the monitor. ... "
" ... This is a great monitor - easy to set up and use and I like how the lights change depending on the noise level in the room. ... "
" ... As far as effectiveness goes, this monitor is extremely sensitive to sound (just make sure you have the volume on the parent unit turned up to the highest setting to catch every sound in your baby's room). ... "
" ... I was iffy about the price of this monitor, especially since it's only audio. ... "

" ... So as we installed it in our nursery and the baby napped in the bassinet in our room, it was overkill. ... Other units barely transmitting across of 2200 sq ft house. ... We do have about 5 plaster walls between master bedroom and nursery, but only about 35-40ft. ... "
" ... when my baby cries it sounds like she is in the same room as me! ... "
" ... We have a two story home, with the baby's room being upstairs. ... "
" ... We have a quarter acre lot and can work outside on any part of our property with no signal issues. ... "
" ... Additionally, the reach of this monitor is fantastic - there's not a single spot in our two-story house in which the monitor loses its signal. ... "
" ... We use to hear my mother while she's alone in her room. ... "
" ... walls in our house. ... "
" ... Great signal capacity without interference. ... "

" ... good range and sensitivity. ... "
" ... This little gem has killer range (we have a large house with multiple floors) and tunes out the fan noise that is running in the hallway outside the kids rooms. ... "
" ... Even though it's expensive, we've had a great experience of it and it doesn't lose signal and we do have a lot of thick (concrete?) ... walls in our house. ... "
" ... I haven't tested the range yet. ... "
" ... Range is good and signal is strong. ... "
" ... We have a two story home, with the baby's room being upstairs. ... "
" ... Other units barely transmitting across of 2200 sq ft house. ... We do have about 5 plaster walls between master bedroom and nursery, but only about 35-40ft. ... Even more impressive, if I stopped and was not standing between the monitor and house, the signal regained some strength (up to 3 bars). ... "
" ... Additionally, the reach of this monitor is fantastic - there's not a single spot in our two-story house in which the monitor loses its signal. ... "

" ... So far so good with this monitor. ... "
" ... I didn’t want a video monitor after seeing all of the videos about people hacking into the systems, and this was recommended to me. ... "
" ... They should make a new generation monitor! ... "
" ... I have to say that this is an incredible audio monitor. ... "
" ... Really like this monitor. ... "

" ... In general, we have been very pleased with this unit since the birth of our son. ... "
" ... As a foster parent of kids ages birth-3 we needed a reliable monitor that will last. ... "
" ... And I love that the listener can speak into it so we'll be using it once all our kids are born and paying in their playroom to listen on what they do and speak when we have to so they know we're listening! ... "
" ... I honestly don't really see the point of this, but my toddler loves playing around with this feature ... If your kids are anything like mine, their favorite "toys" are the things they aren't supposed to play with - baby monitor parent units, for example. ... My toddler loves pushing the buttons on the parent unit and pretending like it's her phone. ... "
" ... It's sensitive enough to pick up on my kid rustling around in her bed, which gives me the peace of mind that if anything happens in her room, I'll know about it. ... The lullabies are actually really nice and soothing, and our toddler sometimes turns them on herself when it's naptime. ... "
" ... We went through several monitors before purchasing this one, and even purschased a couple others after for other children. ... "
" ... My Dad was her caretaker. ... "
" ... It's hands down the best monitor if all you care about is sounds (we have older kids). ... "

" ... She can hear me clearly as well. ... "
" ... The talk feature is nice as well. ... "
" ... I can clearly hear when she's up and about and instead of my having to grab keys to go over and check in on her, I just grab my unit and ask if everything is OK and she immediately responds. ... "
