Not a hearing aid, but a good earbuds nonetheless
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sennheiser name is synonymous with great quality audio products, top tier equipment. This wireless earbuds in all honesty leaves me a bit confused. And after a few days of use, I realized why I was so confused. In my mind, this was a hearing aid and I expected such. But when I came to realize that I don't think that that was Sennheiser true intentions, I started judging the earbuds differently. The long and the short of this, in my opinion is that these earbuds are wireless earbuds with hear-through technology on steroids. So if you are truly hard of hearing and need a real hearing aid, this is not it. But if you are the person that wants and needs to be able to capture more sounds in your surrondings and want amazing audio earbuds, this is it. Out of the box, I noticed that the Sennheiser is larger than all my other wireless earbuds. It still does fit in my jean pocket, but definitely not in the little coin pocket. There is different size eartips and fins, to hopefully fit most people's ears. For me, right out of the box, the fit was perfect and I was very happy at the fit. It was very comfortable but yet snug enough not to come loose and jumping up and down and shaking my head, it never moved. After downloading the app, which I thought was good with extensive control over the earbuds. I was surprised however that during setup, there was no test on noise cancellation or volume on each earbuds like my other anc earbuds has. For earbuds sold as "conversation clear plus" I would think that this test for the user would be important. The audio quality, noise cancellation and battery life is the best I've ever used on any set of wireless earbuds. Phone conversations was amazing as well. Never had any issues from my end or the caller's end. The price and it's "hearing aid" performance is what made me give it 4 stars. If the pricing was a lot lower and not marketed as if it was a hearing aid, this would be one of the best wireless earbuds on the market.

Nice overall voice enhancing earbuds
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, I recently tried out the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus and here's my review: Let’s start with the fit. These earbuds come with 3 sizes of ear tips and ear fins. I used the large for both and they fit well. The fin is a great idea, these earbuds never feel like they will fall out. They are pretty comfortable to wear. I did find my ears a little sore after using them for 7-8 hours. However, it's getting better over time as my ears adjust. Pairing / Connecting: I did have a bit of trouble pairing these to my phone (Galaxy S22 Ultra) initially, but after closing and opening the app, and patience, it eventually worked. Also, when you open the App (Called ‘Conversation Clear’) it shows you the connection of both earbuds in the top right-hand corner of the screen by indicating the battery life, I have noticed that at times the app has trouble connecting to one of the earbuds. It seems like this has also got better, perhaps the app updated. No Problem connecting to my computer to use with Microsoft Teams. Worked perfectly in this environment. My favorite so far as they don’t lose the connection by going into any kind of standby mode. These ear buds are designed to be able to switch from a streaming environment to a communication environment to provide the user better clarity of speech and their surroundings. I would say they do a pretty good job with that. They are just a little clumsy switching from this communication feature to the streaming feature. Example; When in the communication mode, and I receive a text or notification, the earbuds temporarily switch to streaming mode and go from amplified sounds to noise cancellation mode, which can make it hard to hear the person you're talking to for that couple of seconds it takes to switch back to communication mode. I had to turn off notifications on my phone when using the communication feature to avoid this from happening. Hopefully this can be addressed down the line with an App or firmware update allowing the phone notifications to come through without affecting the conversation. The App contains three tabs on the top, Relax, Communication and Stream. In Communication mode you have the option to turn speech volume from 0 - 15. There is also a toggle to turn on/off the Clarify Boost mode to further enhance the clarity of speech. (you can further move a slider from smooth to clear to dial in your best sounds according to your hearing.) The Stream mode provides a slider which allows you to choose how much outside noise you want to let in. (more or less NC) The Relax mode essentially closes off the world around you, providing you a quite relaxing environment. You can adjust the outside sound hear as well from 0-100% 100% in this mode reminds me of Transparency modes of other earbuds I own. I recently used these in a Bar (Very noisy) environment, and it did enhance the sound around me. I also felt like I could hear the conversations a bit better at my table. Noice Cancellation works well when in streaming mode. I would say on a scale of 10 they are 8 out of 10. They work great for the office or even airplane style environment, but not as well with a real loud environment such as cutting my grass on my tractor. I do have another set of earbuds that did a better job at cancelling out that engine noise. I realize that is not a need for many but wanted to provide that input. NOTE – Instructions not super clear on this next issue: I was having trouble getting the Play/Pause to work on the right earbud and the assistant to activate using the left earbud. You are supposed to be able to double tap to trigger these functions, but it is not working for me. I then found that these earbuds have both Mechanical buttons and touch sensitive buttons. Once I figured that out, everything works well. Sound for music is good. I do wish they had a bit more bass and a way to adjust that. I was able to get a little bit more out of them using the sound settings within my phone. They do have crisp well balanced mids and highs. I'm just kind of a snob when it comes to bass. Sound on calls / communications are very clear and concise. The battery life is impressive. I get a full day out of them and can put back in the case to quickly recharge. I only charge the case maybe once a week.4 Overall, I think the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus is a solid choice for those that need a little help due to mild hearing loss. They are very versatile for all your audio needs.

Interesting True Wireless Earbuds
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received the ConCPlus1 true wireless earbuds with speech enhancement, set them up to charge. Charging is completed by placing the rechargeable earbuds into their case and using the USB-C (to the case) and the USB-A into a USB port. I’m assuming the earbuds came with a good charge, within one hour the earbuds were charged to full capacity. Due to the lack of accompanying instructions you’ll need to go into the Sennheiser Conversation Clear app to learn more about the ConCPlus1 wireless earbuds. The app states up to 3 hours for a full charge. Apparently, I was a little out of order with the set up because I downloaded the Sennheiser Conversation Clear app, to my phone, out of order with the instructions, didn’t appear to make a difference. To start the Bluetooth pairing you will have to remove the earbuds from their charging case and follow the instructions in the app. Pairing established a connection quickly. Next you will select the best ear tips and ear fins to suit your needs and for the most comfort. Initial set up was very simple. I found the instructions for adjusting between Relax mode, Communication mode, and Audio Stream mode slightly confusing however it doesn’t take long to learn the controls on the earbuds. Still not sure, that I’m happy with the control processes between the earbud controls and the Sennheiser Conversation Clear app. One of my concerns is with the volume control synchronization between the earbud’s controls and the music streaming device. You want to be cautious when moving the Ambient Balancing Control, when moving the balancing control to the right, of the center position, the volume can increase a great deal, so you need to be cautious. The earbuds will automatically adjust to your surrounding sounds which can be disturbing at times. The ConCPlus1 is like many wireless earbuds, they are comfortable once you attach the best earpieces. Using the Communication mode, with no incoming streaming music, is like many hearing enhancement devices, you will experience a slight hollow sound. The relax mode (ANC) is fair, however not as stealthy as a few other wireless earbuds that I use. When listening to music the volume control on the earbuds will depend on the volume of incoming music device. Using the earbud controls, you can convert from Stream mode (music) to Relax mode or the Communication mode, however, you cannot use the earbud controls to convert back to your music without going into your music device (phone) and restarting the music. Adjusting the music volume using the earbud volume control will move the Stream mode resulting in an increased or decreased ambient sound. Using the music source volume (phone volume) button will not affect the ambience. Incoming calls are simple to respond to and the sound is clear, the caller said the sound was good. Ending the call was not as simple as the directions stated. According to the instructions you can end a call by holding either the left or right earbud button for 2 seconds or tap the right or left earbud button 2x to end the call. Tapping the right or left earbud button would not end the call. The sound customization is limited, however may be suitable for your needs. Remember that the ConCPLus1 wireless earbuds will self-adjust to the surrounding environment. Multiple times there were situations, and specific sounds or sound sources, that caused a different (almost muffled) sound quality. The ConCPlus1 earbuds process sound to improve the listener experience and the clarity of speech. One poor quality of this automatic switching is that you will occasionally hear an abrupt change as the earbuds automatically shift from one setting to another. Not sure that this is a favorable process for me. When I set the earbuds in the charging case for the night both earbuds showed to be seated correctly however the right earbud must have shifted when I set the charging case down. In the morning I placed the wireless earbuds in my ears and the right earbud was not charged. 15 minutes of charging did supply the right earbud with 18% charge. Overall, the Sennheiser ConCPlus1 True Wireless Earbuds are a little expensive when compared to other Wireless Earbuds and again depending on what you are looking for in use. They have great sound when streaming music, ANC is fair, and the Communication works OK for me except for the automatic adjustments to environment sounds. I’m sure with time I’ll find more valuable use for my liking.

Good Earbuds with Bad Software
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the pleasure of experiencing the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus Wireless Earbuds, and as someone who feels like his hearing has gotten worse lately, I was eager to give these a test. First and foremost, the Speech Enhancement feature on the Conversation Clear Plus is nothing short of remarkable. If I had to describe it, it would be like those old cartoons where they would use extendable ears in order to hear a conversation from across the room. That being said, conversations were rendered with clarity, and every word was delivered with precision, and at times I was shocked how well I could hear things. It was almost too good in that I could hear coworkers getting chatty from a good distance away from my desk, to the point I had to switch over to the Stream function where I could then listen to my podcast and block my chatty coworkers out with the Active Noise Cancellation that they come with. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on these earbuds is a true blessing for anyone on the go or in a noisy work environment. It creates a serene bubble, allowing me to block out the world with music, podcasts. The design of the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus is where I have some issues in that while the actual earbuds do fit snugly, and are comfortable in the ear for long usage and come with extra tips to properly fit your ears. The actual look of these earbuds resembles too much like normal wireless earbuds and had two interactions where the people I was talking with found it rude that I didn't take my earbuds to have the conversation with them and had to explain that they were hearing enhancer earbuds and also bluetooth earbuds for listening to music, which in the moment was a little awkward. Then my other complaint would have to be the button controls not being intuitive and responsive, in that I had several issues with the "Long tap” and the “Double Tap” not registering. Where when in stream mode to play/pause a song you’re supposed to “double tap” the right earbud button, and everytime I would try to do this, it would not register and it would just increase the sound levels causing me to go into the Conversation Clear app to change the volume levels back down. The button prompts are not customizable in the app, so you have to use what Sennheiser assigned as the “Short Press”, “Long Press” and “Double Press”. Note: I did make sure that I was on the most recent firmware update, so going forward I would like to see some updates that will allow button customization. Battery life on these are impressive, lasting about 8 hours. The charging case is on the bulkier side and seems like it could be slimmed down a little. Pairing these earbuds with my device was easy, and the Bluetooth connectivity had zero bluetooth connection issues, delivering a stable connection. Overall, the Conversation Clear Plus does come with a premium price tag, and does a good job with the hearing enhancement, along with being good earbuds for your audio entertainment, but it just doesn't do an overall great job. The app software is truly holding this product back and brings it down. There needs to be some big updates on the software side to truly make this a great product. That being said if you’re someone who has some slight hearing issues who doesn't want to break the bank for hearing aids and still wants to be able to hear things better along with being able to listen to music you might want to check these out.

Almost most perfect
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sennheiser over the counter hearing aids are nicely crafted. That was one of the things that actually stands out from the many I have used. They look like regular earbuds and can be used as such but have the hearing aid advantage. Setting them up was pretty easy, you first need to download the Sennheiser Conversation clear app and then follow the onscreen instructions. The hearing aids are small and when you wear them they feel just like any other regular earbuds. Due to the ergonomic design they are comfortable to wear for a prolonged period of time. The nice thigh seal feels like noise canceling. When in action they performed very well. By far these Senheiser are the only hearing aids that I have used that sound normal when in a conversion. What I mean by that is the people don’t sound like you hearing from a tin can. They sound just as they would without hearing aids. The same goes for the TV or sound system, and the lows sound just as good. These are definitely my go to for TV watching. When watching TV they sound really great with deep bass. It is like the TV connects to the earbuds. However, your own voice does sound like you're in a tin can just like any other hearing aids. You can listen to music, answer phone calls and even summon voice assistants like (Google, Siri). Music listening they do a great job with a good balance sound and really nice deep bass. As battery life goes they will give you about 9 hrs and additional 18 hrs from the charging case. The case is kind of bulky but small enough to fit in a pocket. It can be charged with USB-C and it does include the charging cable. The app is simple to use and you can adjust all the setting from there. There are 3 different sound controls: Relax, Communication and Stream. Relax will give you a more quiet environment while Communication will be the main one to use. When you are streaming music in the stream tab you can adjust the sound slider between music and background or both. There is something lacking here is a personal prescriptive adjustment setting. Example, during the sound profile adjustment, all you can do is adjust the volume from a pre-recorded conversation. In my case I was able to hear it just fine so I didn’t have to make any adjustments. Most of my hearing issues are low frequency which I cannot adjust the way I can with some other over the counter hearing aids. Overall these Sennheiser hearing aids are good and comfortable but not perfect. It does have the best conversational sound out of any other hearing aids I have used. It has deep base and outstanding outside noise masking. They are easy to use and set up. They are comfortable and the battery will get you throughout the day with no problem. In the box you get the hearing aids ear buds, USB-C Charging cable, ear tips, charging case and manuals.

Wireless Earbuds with Speech Enhancement and ANC
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Conversation Clear Plus over-the-counter (OTC) earbuds are a member of a newer market segment that has the ability to influence the habits and capabilities of marginally hearing-impaired individuals. This feat is achieved at a price point that is midway between premium-priced, professionally-prescribed products and inexpensive, lower capability also-rans. These app-enhanced, specialized earbuds, allow your smartphone to perform normally and utilize selectable, active noise cancelling, all while enhancing surrounding speech intelligibility. The Sennheiser website specifically calls out that these are not “hearing aids” and that if you have a need through loss of hearing ability, you may, and perhaps should, seek out traditional hearing specialists to assist you. I, personally, am not an expert in hearing loss, and due to the nature of reviews such as these, do not unfortunately have access to competing products for a direct comparison. So, the salt you season with should take that into account for this review. The packaging contains the earbuds enshrined in the Shamu-sized charging case, additional tips in the usual three sizes, some extra ear fin sets that help to retain the earbuds firmly in your ears, a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, and multi-lingual instructional, safety and legalese documentation. The specifications claim a nine-hour run time, with the case providing an additional two charges to the earbuds. Recharging the case is expected to take up to approximately five hours. The specifications also call out that the microphone’s pick-up pattern on these units is, “Scene-dependent with automatic control from omni to directional beamforming” to aid in attempting to pin-point and enhance dialog with the intention to exclude extraneous noise. So, you will find that just like unaided normal dialog, your physical orientation towards your intended dialog supplier(s) will matter to achieve the best results. Like many people who are more experienced in age, time can take a toll on hearing, depending on life choices, habits, occupation and maybe even genetics. Personally, I have tried to be sensitive to situations that may lead to hearing damage and have mostly been successful in fending off the somewhat inevitable, considering I’ve earned my living within the audio industry for the entirety of my career. However, there are some types of hearing loss sensitivities that may not stem from sheer past noise exposure alone. There is a type of hearing loss that seems to be most bothersome and noticeable in the presence of ambient noise that causes a sort of masking effect to the ability to discern speech from the ambient clamor. This type of aid-to-hearing device is attempting to help with that situation. Crowded restaurants that have high ambient background noise, gatherings with numerous simultaneous boisterous conversations and other like situations are the environments for which this Sennheiser product is designed. Barbie may ask what she was made for, but these Sennheisers were made for this. In use, my experience in crowded restaurant environments with this product found that after a bit of fiddling and some floundering, there really was improved intelligibility in near-field conversations, but often at the expense of over-emphasizing extraneous noises of a similar frequency band of the prime speech frequencies that are attempting to be emphasized. Walking through a mall for instance, emphasizes things like dragging feet or percussive random sounds that would somewhat startle you if you weren’t on guard for it. I’m sure that with more extended use, comes extended wisdom in regards to adjustment of settings to achieve a more useful balance. Audio performance achieved in these earbuds, as in any earbuds, is heavily dependent on the ear tip seal achieved and fortunately these were supplied with tips that afforded me a good seal. I found the quality of audio was very good, perhaps not the “greatest ever”, but very good quality. Sennheiser has had a history of creating great audio, especially very high-quality microphones. I can’t say to what degree Sennheiser, or the new, recent, parent company, Sonova Consumer Hearing, is responsible for the design and or technology behind this set, but they have created a very good quality, flexible device. As a conclusionary thought, perhaps these type devices when made more affordable, might become a new standard in earphone use and flexibility. When you consider that they are very effective at noise cancelling, speech-enhancing, music listening, and phone communicating, it covers every type of use you might need, adjustable to the degree you might need it. What’s not to love? A few other observations: When using IOS, audio “ducks out” when sending and receiving texts and other functions that involve the audio system on the phone. Seems unusual in that the volume control doesn’t affect the surrounding audio that’s picked up, yet it is affected by the phone’s messaging. Maybe it’s a feature, not a fault, or a future software update candidate. Sometimes there are voids in the surrounding sound amplification that are just random, and as of yet, unexplainable. With the addition of dialing up more hearing enhancement, comes more high frequency hiss of amplifier and processor noise. Although this is somewhat of a normal occurrence for any device, it is especially noticeable on earbuds such as these (probably not heard when used by clientele that have high frequency hearing loss) and most likely an artifact of just how much digital signal processing is occurring to enable the functions/magic. Being around noise like running water when the volume is serving speech functions is almost painful, as the amplification of those enhanced frequencies are just drilled into your ears. Also, keep in mind that your internal frame of reference of audio sound balance will be affected, and is expected, and will need time to re-adjust after each extended use. Compare this to your experience of being used to the sound of your old car’s radio and sound system compared to a new (to you) car’s sound system. This re-orientation, and the need for it, is both a testament to your brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and compensate, as well as reminding how well the earbuds are actually working.

Compact, great battery, can be quiet
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus true wireless hearing aids are very compact and easy to setup, with a very straightforward app pairing process. The design doesn't immediately scream "these are hearing aids," instead Sennheiser opts for a subtle earbud look with the microphone pickups located around the earbud. The setup process guides you through how to get the most secure fit for your ear shape to ensure a comfortable fit, as well as giving you the suggestion to go through a quick hearing quiz. This will allow you to get the best type of hearing assistance for your type of hearing loss, with also having the ability to adjust the world and streaming volume manually through the physical buttons located on each of the earbuds. Going through the setup process will set you up for success in using the combinations of buttons and app functions to get the most out of these hearing aids. My biggest gripe, and reason for a star being removed, is they tend to be quieter than other hearing aids or even some regular earbuds ambient modes. This "quietness" has led to others not being able to hear me speak since I think I'm talking a normal volume, but am actually not. This has been fixed a little with a recent firmware update, so I keep using them for runs and bike rides, this is where they truly excel! The case and buds being small and lightweight, with awesome battery life for the buds and case, really help with using them during sports, since you can keep them with you when you want to listen to music AND hear the world around you better! The noise cancellation is really good and the music audio quality is phenomenal! If only they would pick up the speaker's (mine or yours) voice better to help with volume control. Overall, I'd still recommend them for someone who likes to run, bike, or walk with music going.

Quiet, Clear Speech and Music, All Day Comfort
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus earbuds are an excellent solution for my 66-year-old ears. While I'm not ready to dive into hearing aids, these earbuds provide clarity of speech that I have not experienced with other earbuds. Setup After unboxing the earbuds, charging case, cable, ear tips, and ear fins, I scanned the QR Code on the included setup card. The Conversation Clear App was downloaded and installed on my iPhone 13Pro. I stepped through the terms and conditions and three information pages. I was prompted to log in with a Sennheiser account when I reached the Login page. However, tapping the Login button didn't do anything. Wondering if I needed to charge the earbuds first, I plugged in the charging case and waited for it to charge fully. After a full charge, I placed the earbuds in my ears and relaunched the App. I still could not log in. I downloaded the App to my iPad and encountered the same issue. I had updated both the iPhone and iPad to the latest OS earlier that day, so I thought it might be a conflict, so I went to the Sennheiser website and searched for updated information. After finding nothing, I submitted a support ticket and waited a few days for a reply. I am still waiting for a reply from support other than confirming my support ticket. However, I relaunched the Conversation Clear App on my iPad. This time, I could register for a Sennheiser account and proceed with the rest of the setup, which included pairing the earbuds, performing music/speech volume tests, and adjusting the sound clarity. The Conversation Clear App The App provides four major sections. The earbud battery levels are shown on the top right. The four sections and available features are: Sound • Automatically senses the environment's noise level. • Relax Mode provides noise cancellation and allows balancing with external sounds. • Communication mode is for speech volume and clarity. The volume can be increased, and a Clarity Boost switch enhances the voice levels. • Stream mode is for listening to audio from the phone or tablet. The balance between external sounds and audio can be adjusted. Earbuds • Earbud Controls shows the button shortcuts for each listening mode and phone calls. • Firmware can be updated. Each earbud will update individually, and the App will show a progress bar. Each earbud has its own serial number. Support • Links for FAQs, Support, and About This App information are here. A link for AudioVitality is provided for a sound technology subscription service for improving Well-Being and Tinnitus. Profile • This section updates the custom Sound Profile, accessing the Sennheiser Account information, and disclaimers for Data Collection, Privacy, and Licenses. Fitting and Usage The earbuds are small, and I am impressed with how well they fit in my ears. I didn't need to change the ear adapters or ear fins to get a snug fit. They are marked L and R for correct ear fitting. They are easy to insert, though it took me a couple of tries to fit them without hitting the multi-function button at the top of the stem. The earbuds are easily removed by grabbing the bottom of the short stem. I could wear the earbuds comfortably for over eight hours without any discomfort or irritation from the silicon adapters. The earbuds will automatically turn on when removed from the charging case and off when placed into the case. The earbuds' operating time is up to nine hours on a single charge. Charging time is around five hours. The charging case can provide two complete charging cycles before needing to be recharged via the USB cable. Each earbud has a multi-function button at the top of the stem and a tap control activated by tapping on the side of the earbud, facing out. The multi-function button controls different features depending on the Mode (Relax, Communication, Stream.) The tap control activates, pauses, and deactivates the smartphone/tablet voice assistant. Relax Mode does a fair job of reducing external noises, unlike complete noise cancellation. Even with full external noises off, a fair amount of sound will come through. However, it is good enough for reducing sounds to concentrate or relax. Communication Mode is what I use the most. I can hear people clearly speaking and other sounds. If I'm outside, it will pick up wind noise, and some distant noise, such as traffic, will sound like it's coming through a cardboard tube. I've gotten used to it. Stream Mode is for playing audio from the smartphone/tablet. While the earbuds can be connected to two devices simultaneously, only one audio stream can be heard at a time. Up to eight Bluetooth devices can have profiles. The most recent two devices will automatically connect. Each earbud will establish its own Bluetooth connection to each device. The music is clear and crisp. Though drums and bass are distinct, the audible range favors highs and midrange. Personally, I use the Acoustic EQ setting on my iPhone for music. An excellent addition, and a suggestion to the Sennheiser folks, for the Conversation Clear App would be a custom EQ for each Mode. The frequency range is 20 Hz to 20kHz with a sound pressure level of 100dB. Microphone response is 100 Hz to 10kHz. Summary I am thrilled with the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus earbuds. The comfortable fit, clear and crisp audio playback, clear phone conversations, long battery life, and a full-featured smartphone app are all positives. The big winner with these earbuds is the improved quality of hearing other people speaking and external sounds without hearing aids.
