Good Megaphone May 10, 2010

This megaphone is the perfect size and power. It's fairly light and easy to move around. It has enough power and a clean voice projection, but it's not overly powerful either. It feels pretty well constructed. It doesn't have the "song" programs that some of these often have, but it does have a powerful siren. The problem with that is that the button is easily clicked on by accident, and therefore I decided to tape it so I wouldn't accidently key it. The volume adjustment works fine, though I find it best at "8" setting vs full power. Pleased with the product overall.
Update- not pleased with the battery covering. If has often come apart and requires effort to get it to stay. The rest of the unit is solid but perhaps placing the battery pack under the microphone was not the best idea.
 Not loud enough November 16, 2009

I bought this thing to use it in recess or outside school, but students say they can not hear it. If turned to the loudest setting then it makes noises. Good for inside places and small crowds.
Good for the price November 2, 2009

This product served it's purpose and I especially appreciated the 1 day delivery option;
The volume from 7 to 10 was loud and clear; it is compact and lightweight. The wrist strap allowed me to hang it off my belt, so I could drop it to be hands free intermittently. I have worked with larger models from various manufactures, in the $100+ price range, over the years and almost universally the battery cover and latching mechanism is the first breakage point and next is the cone. This megaphone has a well engineered battery cover, and although the latch is nothing more than a plastic projection that interlocks with another piece of plastic, it looks substantial enough to last for awhile. Not forever I'm sure, but long enough to feel I've gotten my money's worth. I don't know if the battery cover is replaceable once the latch does break. The cone seems thick enough to stand up to a reasonable amount of being set down and picked right back up repeatedly.
However there are a few things I didn't like - the volume indicates settings of 1 to 10, but numbers 1 through 5 emit nothing, 6 emits a whisper where your own voice is louder, and at setting 7 it finally is loud enough to be heard at a distance. The siren setting is very loud and is the same volume regardless of volume setting number. The siren switch can accidently get switched on by a slight brush. In 5 hours of using this megaphone at a dock during a regatta where I am constantly switching to using my hands to assist boats get docked and then back to using the megaphone to direct incoming boats, I accidently activated the siren 3 times. I finally just duct taped it in the off position. Lastly, the first time I put batteries in it, I did not realize that I had not reseated the battery compartment completely back inside the unit; it stuck out just a tiny bit from it's original position. It took me a half hour to figure out why the battery compartment lid would not snap back on. The printed instructions did not help identify the problem. Once I pulled out the internal battery pack one more time and reseated it yet again, the back snapped on easily.
Summary - it works at the volume I need, voice clear without feedback, and the construction seems sturdy enough for the price. Both the battery latch and cone seem sturdy enough to stand up to the slightly rougher usage I require. A reasonable megaphone for the price, not a toy. But if higher usage in a more physically active application is needed, buy a more expensive megaphone.
Mini Megaphone July 30, 2008

I have purchased several inexpensive Megaphones for the potential of emergency communication with crowds at work. Most of the inexpensive ones require the microphone area to be positioned precisely to prevent what I would call feedback or poor sound quality. This megaphone is very easy to use and provides clear amplified voice without the feedback or extaneous sound. For the price it is a great little Megaphone. I rarely give a top rating to anything. The siren associated with the Megaphone has no volume control. The voice amplification does. This is the only quality short of expectation. Four and a half stars.
 Great Product that works better than I thought!!! May 4, 2006

I am a elementary school teacher and I wanted something to project my voice on the playground. We have megaphones that the school provides by they are constantly out of order for one reason or another. I decided to purchase this to use at school and now all the other teachers want one to. They like how such a small device can project my voice so far. Now I feel that I can cover more area on the playground by using the megaphone rather than a whistle and the most important of all my students are alot safer because of it. Thanks...
