Firstly I am a Best Bujy Tech Insider and I did receive these Sennheiser All-Day Clear Slim hearing aids for the putpose of review.
I am a long time hearing aid user, so I
have experience with hearing aids of which all have deficiencies and these Sennheiser All-Day Clear Slims are no excreption.
I like the build quality. The heavy bendable wire is a good asset as it helps keep the hearing aid on your ear in the case of the ear insert comming out. I like the app, it installed easily and quides you in the setup of the hearing aids. the volume of each side can be individually controlled or they can be merged as one. There is an audio equalizer, but it has limited adjustments. It comes with three sizes of ear inserts.
The battery life is all day if you only use them as hearing aids, If you use it for streaming audio from a phone, tablet or laptop, battery life will be rather limited. The charging case does not have a battery for charging so it will have to be plugged in for charging.It comes with a decent user manual and extra wax guards and the tool to replace them.
What needs to be made clear is that although they are Blue Tooth, you can't connect them to your TV without buying a rather expensive adapter that then connects with the Sennheiser All-Day Slim hearing aids, and that is a real bummer if you were hoping to be able to stream audio in private from your TV.
What I thought that stood out as a plus was that it didn't seem to exagerate wind noise, creaks and rattles in my older car as my other aids do. While watching TV they seem to not exagerate surrounding sounds, such as ceiling fans.
They do a decent job streaming audio, but not great unless you hold your fingers over the ear inserts, then they sound like good ear phones. So unless you want to do that or put ear muffs over them, the sound will be a little hollow. It has separate settings for streaming and listening, which they call "live Music".
Reviewing hearing aids is not scientific, as they will react differently for each individual. Also you have to give your brain time to learn to process what it receives and turn it into what will eventually sound normal for you.
As hearing aids go and considering what they cost,it is a toss up as to whether I would reccomend them to a friend without reviewing other hearing aids. You can buy a service package that allows you to take they to a hearing aid center or store for adjustment or repair. You can find the cost of that on Sennheiser's website.
I am sorry that I can't be all Rah Rah, or No Way, about these hearing aids, because until I have used them for an extended period, I can not make a certain yay or nay vote on these.

Downloaded the All-Day Clear app. The intro, e.g. user agreement was so lengthy, it seemed like I was reading a manual! Next, I had to create an account. This included agreeing to them processing my data. What data do they need for me to use hearing aids! You have to provide a real email or phone number as they will send a verification code for you to complete the account creation process. Next is the process of pairing via Bluetooth with your phone. It took a couple of tries and then they paired. Streaming a video or listening to music on the phone, the Sennheiser hearing aids work pretty well. This is true for phone conversations including conference calls I do from the phone. Normally I have the volume all the way up, with the hearing aids I was able to hear well at about 50% volume. At first I didn’t think the hearing aids were working without the phone. I didn’t think they helped with the TV. With a little time I found the TV was too loud and kept turning it down. It’s now at about 40% of the volume it was when I wasn’t wearing the hearing aids. They do the job. I do get some feedback if I touch my ears. Why am I touching ears? To make sure they are still in my ears! They are so comfortable I don’t even realize I am wearing them. I touch my ears to check if they are there and then I get feedback so I know yes they are there! At first, I got a beep here and there and I didn’t know why. I got a notification on my phone that says that is normal. I think the hearing aids are tuning themselves.

So Far... So Good

I've tried audiologist tuned AI style hearing aids for over $4000 and I've tried the $100 "guaranteed" cheapos and both were terrible. Enter the middle ground: Sennheiser All Day Cleaer Slim. I've used them for almost two months and as long as I keep them on "Live Music" mode, they're great. I can hear so much better. The other "automatic" mode or whatever it's called, filters out too much of the things I WANT to hear. If I want that, I'll go back to the $4000 AI model. So... it's liveable. What I LOVE is that calls, music, streaming video audio all come through clear and clean and at enough volume that I can actually enjoy telephone conversations again. I don't like the behind the ear thing. It feels like I'm going to lose them from time to time, but they work better than the in-the-ear units I tried before. So Far... So Good
