The ChirpSounds system is everything you need to hear your birds right through your windows! Check out the clips shown here (sound has to be unmuted!). With unparalleled sound quality, rustic look, and wireless convenience, this complete system includes a TX1 Transmitter that you'll hang outside, pre-paired with a long range speaker to play the sounds inside. It will arrive ready to work right out of the box, so you can order it for yourself or send it to a loved one with confidence.
The TX1 Transmitter (everyone calls it "The Acorn"):
The wireless transmitter has a very sensitive microphone, a rechargeable battery that lasts a week between charges, and some custom electronics to make it all work, carefully tucked into a weather-proof and durable housing. There's no complicated set-up, no apps, and no subscriptions...just the pure sounds from your feeder as they happen in real time! Just as simple as the set up is the operation of the system. Once the two parts are paired together, they'll remember each other. You'll simply hang the acorn outside, and the speaker does everything else. When you turn the speaker off, the acorn drops into a very low power state to preserve battery capacity. As soon as you turn the speaker back on, they reconnect and in seconds, your house will again be filled with bird sounds in seconds. You'll adjust the volume with the speaker's volume controls. It couldn't be simpler.Ā
The Speaker:
Most speakers have a range of about 30' with no obstructions (and sometimes a good bit of luck). Not so with our speaker! Manufactured by top-notch Oontz with a powerful wireless radio and outstanding antenna design,Ā this small speaker will connect with your acorn up to 100 feet away (with good line of sight)!Ā
Weighing in at just over half a pound, it cranks out 10W of power and plays all day on its internal rechargeable battery. It's the perfect size to sit on your windowsill. A USB cable (included) charges the unit in conjunction with a USB wall charger (not included, but available from ChirpSounds) similar to the one you use to charge your smartphone. You can also leave it plugged in for extended playing, but just remember to turn the speaker off when not listening, because this causes the rechargeable outdoor unit to sip power and be ready when you turn the speaker back on.
Systems come already pre-connected and ready to use. Both parts are shipped with a partial charge to comply with shipping regulations, but there will be enough for you to put it right outside for a test when it's delivered. Turn the acorn on (press and hold the power button on the inset brown label until the first flashes and then let go) and hang it outside. Head back inside and turn the speaker on (there's an arrow pointing to it)...and enjoy! Give it a listen for a day, then charge both acorn and speaker overnight.Ā
Watching your backyard birds in the cold of Winter (or heat of Summer) is like watching TV with the sound turned down. Join the flock and hear your birds!
Note: There is a clear sticker with the logo on it with the speaker. Please apply this to the smooth face of the speaker to make it look like the photos.Ā

I genuinely didn't expect to be this surprised. Setup took about five minutes. Within an hour my kitchen sounded like I was standing in the backyard, just without the cold air or the screen between me and the birds. The first morning my wife and I sat with coffee and used the Merlin app alongside it, and we identified more than ten different species without leaving the room. You really do have to use it to get it. Photos and descriptions don't capture the feeling.
Iām extremely happy with this product, known as Chirp sounds.
Iām a long time birder but during inclement weather, when windows and doors are shut, I canāt hear any outside activity. Now, with this small device, I can hear any hear everything! From owls vocalizing at night to songbirds during the day.
Thank you so much for this great device. You brought the outdoors inside and I am very pleased.
One note to add though, I live well off my street so I donāt know if road noise would be a factor for those living in a more active location. I do plan on taking it over to a friendās home in a few weeks for her to try, so Iāll know more in the future about that situation.
This is a great product. Easy to set up and has great sound. We are really enjoying it.
ChirpSounds ensures my mornings start off cheerfully. Excellent sound quality. I enjoy listening to the dawn chorus. I use Merlin Bird ID to identify the birds singing. We discovered we have more bird species in our yard than we thought, thanks to combining Merlin with ChirpSounds.
The Chirpsounds system is a revelation for anyone who loves nature. Living in an area with active birdlife, Iāve always wanted to hear the action as clearly as I see it, and this system delivers. The setup was a breeze: truly easy right out of the box.
āThe transmitter picks up everything, including songs from birds quite a distance away, and the long-range Bluetooth receiver brings that audio inside with crystal clarity. But the real 'secret sauce' is pairing this with the Cornell Merlin Bird ID app. I simply set my phone next to the receiver, and Merlin identifies every visitor in real-time based on the amplified songs.
āKudos to the developer for such an innovative product and top-notch customer service. If you enjoy the peaceful sounds of the outdoors, you need this system. We just need to get the word outāeveryone should have one of these
Response time was lightning fast!
