BABBLE BEST PICKS: AUDIO MONITORS

BEST ANALOG | Sony BabyCall

Though Sony may not be known for their baby products, they are known for sound quality, which is a highlight of the Sony BabyCall monitor. Available with single or dual receivers, this 900 MHz monitor features 27 analog channels to choose from, built-in rechargeable batteries in the receiver, a low-battery warning, out-of-range indicator and five sound-activated lights that alert you to your baby’s noises when the volume is low. One of the best features of the Sony BabyCall is the Voice Activation Mode that gets rid of the constant white noise many monitors stream and only transmits sound when your infant makes a peep. With great sound clarity and a useful design (water-resistant exterior and a top antenna that doubles as a handle), the Sony BabyCall is an affordable, effective monitor.
