This question came from one of my players a moment ago. I wasn't able to be very helpful, so I'm asking folks here if they have any ideas.
From my friend Mark:
" are you aware of any feats, powers, spells, magic items or whatever which duplicate or come close to duplicating Daredevil's radar sense? haven't come across anything myself."
Ok, blindsight works. But it's a monster ability. What level spell would mimic it?
Isn't it a form of blindsight?
Yeah, that seems to be the closest thing.
Aetherkineticist can pick a talent for it. Caligni have See in Darkness. those are the first things to come to mind.
Edit:
The spell Echolocation
The Wonderous Item Eyes of the Dragon
The Clouded Vision Oracle Curse
Echolocation spell does give blindsight.
Clouded Vision curse gets it at lvl 15.Eyes of the Dragon does not give blindsight it gives blindsense which isn't the same and might not work like the player want but is worth considering.
Echolocation gives Blindsight 40 feet for 10 min/level. 4th level spell. Available to quite a few classes, including the Alchemist, so gives the most variance in available classes.
A few Bloodlines for Sorcerers give this as the capstone power.
The aforementioned Clouded Vision Curse and Touchsight power of the Aether Kineticist at high levels.
Since you mentioned "Powers" I'm assuming Psionics and other 3rd party is available:
For Psionics, Touchsight is a 3rd level power, 60 ft. plus 10 ft. per 2 PP spent.
For Path of War, the Stalker class gets Blindsight 30 ft. at 18th level. Before that, Spirit Sensing Stance can work in a pinch, as an enhanced version of Scent (so that + Blind Fight gives you a decent fighting radius).
There are a couple of Psionic Prestige Classes, both archery based, that give Blindsight as higher level abilities.
It's actually relatively common, though usually requires some hoop jumping, high levels, or both.

If you're willing to go 3.5 - Combat Focus feats can give you Blindsight 5ft all of the time - combined with Blind-Fight to keep from ranged attacks counting as invis and Keen Listener to help find foes (probably need to houserule something there, as it assume 3.5's Spot & Listen being separate skills) it works pretty well.
I had a 3.5 character used that combination to counter being blind. (no house-rules involved - it was fun)
What book is that feat in? I have all the 3.5 "brown cover" books. Is it in the PHB? If so, my son has that one and it's not handy at the moment.
VMC Oracle and take Clouded Vision as the Curse

How liberal are you with 3rd-party stuff? 3.0/3.5's Mythic Races features at least one inherently blind race that compensates with other senses - then there's NYAMBE: African Adventures which has

Get out of my closet!
I think I've arrived at the conclusion to make it a magic device, but I don't know how to calculate the cost of construction. Casting it as an enlarged spell (to increase its range to 80') it would require an 11th level Wizard. Beyond that I'm lost.

5(Spell level) * 11(Caster Level) * 2000(for continuous effect)= 110,000gp
Edit: That would be minimum. Probably more because of metamagic used.
Dayum. But thanks, OSR. I now have something to work with!

Between those two you should be able to work something out for your player.

It already exists, so any magical item would need to be similar to these:
Swordmaster's Blindfold 80,000 gp Blindsight 5 ft or weapon reach and constant locate weakness spell.
Circlet of Mindsight 22,000 gp Limited Blindsense 30 ft
Blinded Helm 85,000 gp Blindsense 60, expend Mythic power for Blindsight for 1 minute.
It seems about 80,000 gp and up for Blindsight 5 ft or so.
Thanks, James!
