Best Audio Baby Monitors of 2025

"This is one of the best monitors for my money. Connects instantly and notifies me if the baby monitor is unplugged. The green lights are bright, so I had to cover them to avoid waking my kiddo. Extremely durable; the parent unit survived a drop from a balcony and still works perfectly. I highly recommend it!"

"I purchased this monitor because the volume broke on my previous one. It works perfectly across the room where my son sleeps, and I can hear everything clearly. Highly recommended!"

"After getting this monitor, I've gained the freedom to work in my terrace office while my kids sleep. It has a good range and is very reliable. It's also very easy to use, but the battery doesn't last long."

"I’ve been using this monitor for over five years, and it still works great! I love how it picks up the important sounds, especially while we sleep. We can even talk to the kids when needed, and the night light feature is just right. Plus, it alerts us when the power goes out."

"After 20 months of usage, this monitor continues to impress me! However, since moving, I face daily challenges with the parent unit unlinking from the baby unit, despite being in the next room. The battery life is also a bit disappointing, as I have to keep it plugged in when my son is awake. Still, it’s held up well and is a solid choice for daily use."

"I bought this to monitor an adult with medical issues. The audio only feature works wonderfully, and I really don't need a camera. I would definitely recommend this product!"

“I find this audio monitor easy and straightforward to use. Just plug it in, turn both units on, and set my preferred sound volume. The silent indicator light is a nice touch, showing solid green when connected and beeping if not. I use it in my dogs' bedroom, and it picks up both low and loud sounds effectively. Overall, a good basic monitor set at a reasonable price.”

“As a fan of Motorola products, I expected quality, and this audio baby monitor does not disappoint. We already have a video monitor but wanted something simple for constant audio transmission, and this one works perfectly. The battery option allows us to move it around the house without being tethered. Plus, the LED indicators help me quickly check the connection status. If you want a simple, reliable monitor, I highly recommend this one.”

“I recently bought this set of Motorola nursery monitors for my granddaughter's room, and I couldn’t be happier! The plug-in and battery power options give great coverage at home or on the go. They are impressively small and discreet, easily fitting on the nursery dresser. My daughter loves their impressive range, allowing her to hear everything in the nursery while working in the kitchen. The LED light indicator is helpful for knowing when the power is on, especially on battery. The microphone picks up the slightest sounds, giving me peace of mind. Just a note that it’s a one-way communication system; you can hear the baby but not talk to them. So far, these monitors have been working perfectly!”

“I care for my 89-year-old mom at home, and this monitor is a life saver. It's incredibly easy to set up and works wonderfully. I needed to hear her at night, especially after her shoulder and hip injuries. It not only picks up her voice perfectly but is so sensitive that I can even hear her breathing. I love that I can talk to her through the monitor. I would highly recommend this product.”

“I purchased this monitor because my husband is recovering from hip replacement surgery and sleeps in a different bedroom. The 100-foot range works great, even through our reinforced concrete walls. The sound quality is excellent, and I can even take it outside to hear him. The two-way talking feature is fantastic, allowing us to communicate without me having to walk to his room every time.”

“We used this monitor for my mother-in-law during her illness. Her room was in a separate apartment, and we could hear her clearly when she called out. I would highly recommend this product for anyone in a similar situation.”

"I started with fancy camera monitors, but they were terrible for sound. This monitor is the best I've found for audio, allowing me to monitor two rooms. The sound quality is fantastic. Yes, toggling the rooms requires a few button presses, but the performance makes it worth it. Plus, the night light has three brightness settings."

"I purchased this device to keep tabs on my elderly mother-in-law. While it works great, I find the menu controls to be tiny and difficult to navigate. It shouldn't be so complicated to figure out."

"I use this monitor for my elderly mother in another part of the house. I appreciate the easy volume adjustment and the setup was simple. Overall, it gives me peace of mind."

"I wanted a secondary monitor for home, and this works perfectly. My little one can fall asleep anywhere, and I can get things done with peace of mind. The sound quality is good, and I appreciate the USB-C rechargeable feature. However, I wish there was a sound indicator light that could be toggled on or off without muting."

"For our summer cabin, we needed a monitor that worked off-grid. These were ideal! They held a charge for a few days, and although they require line of sight to function well, they worked perfectly for our needs. I’ll be buying another set for a friend's baby shower, as they’re great for outdoor enthusiasts."

"I’ve been really pleased with these audio baby monitors! Their sensitivity to sound, long battery life, and portability have exceeded my expectations. I find myself using them much more than I anticipated."

"I think this is the best monitor I've ever used! We live next door to my Dad, and this system allows us to have one receiver in the guest room at his place, while the other unit stays at our house for daytime needs. Both units are portable and even work well outside, with great volume and a clear signal."

"I bought this monitor for my elderly, sick mother, and it has truly done its job. I highly recommend it because we can easily hear her breathing. I can talk to her if she calls out, and I can respond to her immediately."

"After using an older version for our first child, I can confidently say this one is much better! The sound quality is amazing, and the little orange light is perfect for those late-night feedings. Plus, I love that I can turn the light off if I don’t want it on!"

"I really like this monitor! It picks up my mother's sounds at night without me needing to check on her. She hears me clearly too. The only downside is that if the power goes out, I have to press the power button again to turn it back on."

"I was thrilled with the features like talking to my baby to calm them down and the music that I can set from the parent monitor. However, the music is way too loud, and I can't find a way to lower it. Overall, I'm in love with it and would definitely buy it again!"

"I received my baby monitor and tested it with regular batteries; it worked fine at first. But when I tried to use it a few days later, the baby unit's light went off before I got to the car. I'm hoping that the rechargeable batteries I ordered will solve the problem since I really like that both units can operate on battery power."

"After trying several baby monitors, I found this one to be almost perfect. We had twin boys, and I needed something reliable, which this monitor provided. It has a built-in noise gate that ensures I only hear the babies when they make noise, allowing for some peace and quiet at night. I also love that it worked in Germany without issues!"

"I really appreciate this monitor. It allows me to hear my mom clearly when I’m working in the yard or on the other side of the house. Although the night light doesn't function, it isn't a problem for me. I wish it had a clip for easier carrying, but I manage by keeping it in my pocket. Overall, I would highly recommend it!"

"I waited six months before sharing my thoughts, and I must say, this monitor has been flawless. It works perfectly in my three-storey house, allowing me to hear the baby without constantly carrying it around. The only minor annoyances are the beeping when it's on without the receiver and the loud noise when turning it off, but they don't bother me much. I'm glad I didn't go for a fancier model!"

"I find this baby monitor to be fantastic. It does not require Wi-Fi or batteries, running purely on electricity, which means I can always hear my baby. I can also adjust the volume and even talk to them. While it lacks a camera, it is still an incredible and reliable product."

"Using this monitor in my nursery has been a pleasant experience. It picks up sounds wonderfully once I got used to it. However, I did face some challenges during installation since the volume buttons were different from what I expected. There's an annoying beep when the monitor is off, and the volume control is a bit tricky, but overall, it works well."

"I'm quite pleased with the sound quality and clarity, as I use this monitor to listen to birds outside while keeping my doors and windows closed. The red light indicating no active sounds has been useful for me when I check from another room."
