Does anybody has a really professional wall listening device?

Hi, I am new here and just posted my first recording. I`m looking for a more professional wall listening device. In Germany and Europe I find only very non-serious looking online shops filled with enormeously overpriced waste from China. A good wall listening device would be important for me and I would spend a few hundred euros for that. But not for rubbish.
So: does anybody has a good wall mic or knows where to buy such a think in good quality?
Thanks!

This could be a question for bukkakemaster I think... Maybe you can contact him directly if he does not find this thread himself..

I used to have an MW-22. It worked well. I'd really like to try the f999 series but theyre way too expensive

You can assemble this setup:
Contact mic $5
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MUPALY/
Cable $6
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I91C66/
Amplifier $44
https://www.amazon.com/Rolls-PM50s-Pers ... 00J14G7OO/
55-60 bucks overall with pro-grade equipment
A musician would normally buy the above, totally natural purchase.
You then have stereo miniplug and 1/4 outputs for headphones or routing the amplified audio to a computer for recording (yay Audacity / free and stable for long term recording). You also have the added benefit of wall power or battery.
One of the online spy/security shops sold this same exact setup with a case and headphones for $460!!

Yup, that’s the one. I’ve been using one of these for years. Connect it directly to a laptop and use Audacity for recording and editing. Works a treat.

Never thought of that before is there any kind of driver I should download or will Audacity pick it up

Audacity picks it up directly from the headphone socket. You can also listen to the live sounds via the PC as you record. To do this though, you'll need a headphone splitter:
https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/pcv-05?KPI ... gIuXfD_BwE
There are plenty of these on various websites, including Amazon. The process then is pretty straight forward:
1. Using a 3.5mm phono to phono lead, connect the amplifier output to the PC headphone mic' input via the splitter cable.
2. Connect your headphones to the PC via the headphone output jack of the splitter cable.
3. In Audacity, go to the Transport menu. Select Transport Options and click the software playthrough tab.
4. Start the recording.
You'll need to play with the sound levels of the amplifier and Audacity because if everything's turned to maximum the system can actually hear your heartbeats from across the room. I also find that it's good to make a foam wrap to put around the exposed outer casing of the microphone, this helps to mask out the sounds from your side of the wall.
Final thing - sometimes the amplifier can be susceptible to mains hum so it's necessary to run the PC on battery power only. I have constructed a phono-to-phono cable connected to a mains plug which connects the cable's earthing sleeve directly to the mains earth, which cures the problem. If you know what you're doing this isn't all that difficult to do. But if you don't know what you're doing I'd advise against trying it.

LeStanf, your sounds are always brilliant. Do you by any chance know of a smaller recording device? Also how big is the listening device? I have new young neighbours and can only just pick out some noises if she has an orgasm, which she frequently doesn't. Apart from that I rely on rhythmic bed noise to know they are fucking. All this done when my wife is downstairs and thinks I'm having yet another early night. What I need is a small, hideable device and small hideable recorder. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
