EZSound Box - 10 inch Extension Play Button for Stuffed Animals, Craft Projects, School Presentations, Hobbies, Personalized Items, Model Trains, etc - 200 Seconds - Rerecordable Thru Audio Port

I got this box to use for a costume party where I was a cat. I wanted to be able to purr! At first I had a little trouble getting the box set up, and I thought I needed special software because of some of the questions, but it turns out that software is unnecessary, I just needed to make sure that it was on. (It was a real "duh" moment!)I found a video of a cat purring and used that to record the sound onto the box - this was easy:1) find the sound or build a playlist that you want to record onto the box.2) Put the volume of your computer or phone up, plug the included double-headphone jack in to your device.3) Push the big white button (it will beep once to tell you that it's active) on the box and hit play on your device. You probably won't hear any sound, because your computer is sending the sound to the box.4) When you're done with whatever you want to record, hit the big white button again to stop. (The box will beep twice!)5) You can then test your recording by hitting the smaller trigger button on the extension wires. The box will play the full recording and then stop, or you can hit the trigger again to cut it off.I ended up playing around with the volume level a little bit to get it where I wanted it, as the cat whose purr I borrowed was a loud fellow. It was easy to re-record over and over again with tweaks to get it just right - it won't stack recordings on top of one another, which I was a little worried about, it just erases the previous recording and keeps whatever the most recent one is. Then I was able to tuck the box into a pocket in my costume, and lightly stitch the trigger button to a spot where I could trigger the sound when I wanted to. It worked perfectly, and surprised everybody!For anyone who wants to record a playlist, please note that every time you hit the little button to start it, it will start from the beginning of the recording - even if you're recording from Spotify or iTunes it won't recognize separate "tracks" just one continuous file. I believe that you can use it to record your own voice or the sounds around you by hitting the big white button as described above, speaking into the box, and then hitting the button again, but I haven't tried it.

Super easy to use. Just insert headphone jack cord into the box and your laptop, push the button on the box, start the audio on the laptop, then when the audio is done, press the button on the box again. Volume of the recording is controlled on the laptop. When you're satisfied, remove the cord and the recording is locked (until you put in the cord again). Sound is clear, on-off switch if you need to keep the play button from being activated. Holds on to the recording if you take the batteries out. My only regret is that it's 1 inch thick which makes it harder to include in a frame, but the length of recording time is really nice (over 3 1/2 minutes).

Bought his device to put inside a stuffed elephant for new grandson. Recorded a song on the EZsound box and put the switch in the elephants front foot. Squeeze the foot and the song plays. A couple minor issues, first it's a little hard to get the sound volume right because it plays back at the volume level used when the song was recorded, and you cannot hear it when it is being recorded. Second, there is a very slight motorboat-like sound that can be heard just before the song starts playing. Neither of these issues are a problem, and I would buy the item again. I had a lot of fun recording the song by playing it on my saxophone and then moving the song to the EZsound box., and inserting it into the stuffed elephant that my wife made. It turned out very well and we are very proud of the result. The EZsound box was a large part of the project.

This brand of product is not safe. After putting in brand new batteries the box started getting very hot and melted the batteries. It is a FIRE HAZARD! I have been working on bears to add these to and was unable to return because it as it was outside the return window.

I got this as part of a gift for my boyfriend while we're long distance. My favorite thing about this is how long it lets you record - I was able to sing the entirety of Can't Help Falling in Love (and kinda slow, too) without it cutting me off. The only tricky thing is that you can't hear how it sounds until it's done recording, so I ended up doing it a little loud, but it's easy to use and easy to redo. I think the function of having it record off of a device is brilliant and makes it a lot easier. I found that doing it from my laptop produced better sound than through my phone, but the quality was pretty good - it's got a fair amount of white noise in the background but the voice is pretty clear. It almost gives it like a vintage kind of sound. It's a bit large, but for all the tech that goes into it I was fine with that and altogether very happy with the outcome.

Great product does exactly what it says. You can plug it into almost anything with a headphone jack. As long as you press the button to record it will record any sound.

Comes with cord to hook up to laptop/phone to directly download your sound, easy to edit, and "feeding" cord containing the push-for-sound button made for a great, incredible quality sound box for my niece's 1st birthday - we downloaded her ENTIRE favorite song from Zootopia & put it inside a bunny (left the back unsewn) from Build-A-Bear! It's her FAVORITE thing! Side note: do not waste $9 on Build-A-Bear's heart-shaped 10-second sound clip... the quality is the worst, especially once surrounded by stuffing! This one is worth every penny, especially in comparison.
