The Orbital Electronic Listening Device lets you eavesdrop on conversations 300 feet away. And there’s more. You can use the 10x zoom viewfinder to peek at your target as you listen, and even record 120 second snippets for really sneaky playback thrills later on. The blurb suggests you use it to get closer to the action at your favourite sports event. Yeah right…! $59.95 including ‘padded’ headphones.

 Find out what your kids and their friends are plotting in the garage. Listen to whales sounding on the open sea. Take it to a concert when you’re too far away from the action. Opera lovers and theatergoers can sit in the back row and hear as well as those in the $300 front seats. In fact, the Orbitor Electronic Listening Device can go to all entertainment venues.
