I bought the VOscope SoundStik kit SS-1000 and didn't find a single leak. I have to admit that my hearing might be a little compromised by growing up in the 60's and racing un-muffled motorcycles...
After reading all the posts, I will attach a BlueTooth transmitter to my receiver and use my Bose noise-canceling headphones on my next attempt. I read reviews prior to purchasing anything, but they're not that reliable. This is a review for the device I bought;

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great

I am an a/c contractor. I have used for years the amprobe ultrasound leak detector with much success. When I needed a new one I decided to try this because of the price. After one use I am happy to say this works as good or better. The visual bars don't work like the amprobe but the headphones work great and are very sensitive for small refrigerant leaks

1.0 out of 5 stars Spend the extra money and buy the Superior AccuTrak

This replaced a Superior AccuTrak that I used for years until I broke it. I thought I would try a cheaper detector so I bought this inficon but it's been a wast of money. I found a leak in an evaporator with the Superior AccuTrak just before I broke it, I changed out the evaporator and still had the old one in my scrap bin, after not finding a leak with the inficon I pressurized the old evaporator and the inficon wouldn't hear it. I borrowed my friends accutrak and it found the leak right away. Inficon is worthless in my experience.

Both the recommended ultrasonic leak detectors are substantially more money that Steve and I spent, geared more for professionals that have a daily need. I will eventually get mine to work and when I do I will post an update,
