You really should look at reviews of toys before recommending them. I went to amazon to purchase these and only found reviews about how these pick up frequencies of other items (adults talking - often things kids shouldn't hear) and that reception is very poor (can't understand what other person is saying from only a few feet away). I'm so glad I took time to read the reviews. I almost just purchased them because I thought if you recommended them, they must be good.
