Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus - True Wireless Bluetooth Hearing Solution for Speech Enhancement with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - Black

Product Information

Hearing loss is inevitable as we get older, but finding you have an issue and doing something about it has, historically, taken longer than it needs to. Help is on the way though, with several headphone brands looking to take leadership in that area. The sound quality is far too strong in the midrange, which results in a dry and flat sound. The call quality could be better to convince, and the rudimentary Bluetooth connection makes them frustrating to use daily. Hearing loss is a silent issue, one affecting many adults – but as a topic, it hasn’t received the attention it merits. For general music or podcast listening Conversation Clear Plus provided a broad and clear audio streaming quality. I was happy to find that the distortions mentioned above during general use were not present. The earbuds also provided considerable overall isolation which made for a more immersive listening experience. However, the ability to choose between isolation or ambient balance within the app was useful depending on the environment.

New Sennheiser wireless earbuds will help you hear in noisy

Conversation Clear Plus is also a larger earbud which plugs your ear entirely when worn properly. This means there is potential for the occlusion effect, which refers to the increased perception of your own voice when your ears are plugged. This is often undesirable and described as a “hollow” or “echo” sound quality. Fortunately, the “pass-through” ambient awareness system helps minimize this effect. Conversation Clear Plus also offers active occlusion cancellation (AOC) which further improves the naturalness of your own voice. This element of Conversation Clear Plus was impressive and improved general comfort during long-term wear. That’s an impression that only gets stronger once you start using them. Yes, their control app is logical and useful, and yes, the earbuds’ ability to either negate external sounds or give them a welcome and quite accurately focused boost is unarguable. But the earbuds are tonally pretty hard and edgy, and when you do decide to listen to music, they sound diffuse and uncertain. Utilizing sophisticated Sonova chip technology, conversations and calls are enhanced thanks to the Sennheiser Automatic Scene Detection feature, which analyzes the noise level of a user's environment and matches the speech enhancement level to their surroundings. Those interested in advanced wireless earbuds: Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus are true wireless stereo earbuds with advanced features for streaming, noise reduction, and improving speech clarity.For the best sound quality, wearing comfort and secure fit it is important to use the right size of ear adapters and ear fins. Conversation Clear Plus provide a respectable sound quality in everyday quiet or one-on-one situations. The audio feed is full, or broadband, and relatively true to how the surrounding world sounds in normal listening conditions without earbuds. There is also no perceptible delay, or latency, which aids the realism of their ambient awareness system. My experiences while streaming music were also similar. The new soundbar isn't about making subtle improvements to those middling TV speakers -- it's designed to bring you gorgeous and lifelike 3D sound, all from an extremely small footprint. On the inside, the Conversation Clear Plus feature 12mm full-range dynamic drivers with a stated frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz. Battery life is around nine hours in the earbuds themselves, with a further two full charges in the case; from flat to full takes around five hours using the case’s USB-C input. No wireless charging is available. Wireless connectivity is via Bluetooth 4.2, with SBC and AAC codec compatibility. Overall, this feature is interesting, but it needs to distinguish itself from what Apple already offers with the hearing aid mode of the AirPods. More importantly, with Bluetooth LE Audio eventually coming to Android, most traditional wireless headphones should offer a similar feature. STREAM MODE

Effortlessly clear conversation with modern style - Sennheiser

Premium audio brand Sennheiser has announced a brand-new product at this year's CES conference in Las Vegas that's sure to appeal to aesthetically minded home theater enthusiasts. It's called the Ambeo soundbar. The app/earbuds can switch between modes on its own with its Automatic Scene Detection, but the execution is also a mixed bag. The feature constantly monitors noise level but that also means it’s constantly switching between various noise cancelling levels, those little chimes become more frequent if you’re in a busy setting, and after a while it distracts. Performance Audio firm Sennheiser may have a solution though. Its Conversation Clear Plus earbuds are designed to deal with exactly this issue using a combination of its noise cancellation and speech enhancement technology. Utilising sophisticated Sonova chip technology, conversations and calls are enhanced thanks to the Sennheiser Automatic Scene Detection feature, which analyses the noise level of a user's environment and matches the speech enhancement level to their surroundings. There are a few areas in which the Conversation Clear Plus could be better – and they are fairly fundamental.Put the earbuds in your ears when the phone rings. If you are already wearing them, you will hear the ringtone directly in the earbuds. The charging case is quite chunky at nearly twice the length of the earbuds, presumably to allow for the battery, and has a USB-C port to allow easy charging. You get up to nine hours of charge per use, with the case holding two additional charges, giving you a total of 27 hours before needing to plug them in.

Conversation Clear Plus – True Wireless Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus – True Wireless

In concrete terms, the relax mode will analyse the ambient sounds captured by the microphones and perform a phase inversion so that you don’t hear them through the headphones. In other words, this mode will allow you to adjust the external sounds from 0 to 100%. The headphones are also in the in-ear format and are therefore supplied with three pairs of silicone tips. The oval-shaped ear tips allow you to adapt the earphones to the shape of your ear canal. In addition to the ear tips, Sennheiser also provides replaceable ear cups in three sizes to ensure that the Conversation Clear Plus fit snugly in the ear. This approach is reminiscent of Bose’s recent QuietComfort Earbuds II.In the box you will find the two earbuds, 3 sizes of eartips and ear fins (small through large), a charging case, USB-C cable, and documentation. Conversation Clear Plus arrives with the medium eartips and ear fins preinstalled. It is worth trying the different sizes to find the best fit as this can improve comfort, stability in-ear, and sound quality. Once this is sorted, it does not take long to pair with the Conversation Clear app and head out into the world. Battery Life & Rechargeability Sennheiser?
