 Very good for bonding December 21, 2008

The monitor picks up a lot of outside noises, so it's important to hold still when trying to hear the baby moving around. The neatest part is the microphone and speakers. I could lay in bed and put the speakers on my belly, and the microphone would rest on my chest and I would read to the baby. Also, my husband felt weird talking to my belly, but sitting up with me talking into the microphone made it not as akward. The CDs were very good also. Would definitely buy again.

This is a joke, like it says, it does not use ultrasound, etc. It is like a microphone with bad feedback, basically. So, if you can't hear your baby's heartbeat just-so, this won't work either.
All I heard was my finger touching the button.

Subtitle: Taking Money From Excited Parents-To-Be
My wife and I bought this product early in the pregnancy. We took it home and tried it and didn't hear anything. But we chalked that up to it being too early.
We broke it out again at around 25 weeks. Nothing. But it was still pretty early.
26, 27, 28, 29 weeks. Nothing.
Then at 30 weeks.... More nothing.
We tried this all the way up to delivery (37.5 weeks for us) and we could never be sure that what we were hearing was the result of our baby moving as opposed to the mic just picking up every micro-movement.
The problem is that this is just a cheap condenser microphone that is held up to the woman's belly. Holding it by hand definitely won't work - you can't hold your hand still enough to prevent the microphone from picking up small vibrations.
But we also tried this with the included elastic strap while my wife was lying down in a quiet room with both the ceiling fan and even the AC turned off.
Sure, we heard.... something.
And, at the time, we really, really, REALLY wanted to believe that what we heard was our baby. But in the end I'm afraid that most, if not all, of what we heard was just very small movements of my wife's belly.
If you've ever used an acoustic stethoscope, this product sounds similar to what you hear when handling the tubes leading from the diaphragm/bell to the earpieces. Kind of a "pfff pfff *thump* pfff".
The following is from the (current as of this posting) Wikipedia article on electronic stethoscopes: "The simplest and least effective method of sound detection is achieved by placing a microphone in the chestpiece. This method suffers from ambient noise interference and has fallen out of favor." That is the technology used in this product.
Regarding the reviewer who said she liked to put the speakers (which are basically really cheap headphones without anything to hold them to your head) to read to her baby.... A baby can hear her/his mother's voice _very_ well without a microphone and speakers. They're inside your body, where the vibrations of your voice are made, you know. The amniotic fluid actually amplifies sounds so they can even hear dad pretty well, too.
In summary, if we had it to do over again, we would rent/buy a dopler microphone or just go without.
