After a week of using it. I think I like it a lot.
It does boost the amplification so the sound coming in louder and clearer. It also amplify the surround sounds so that I can hear my wife high pitches voice without having to use the hearing aids. I like the fact that I can adjust the level of sound from the outside noise from complete silent to hearing people speaking. I tried the directional sounds but didn’t find it much useful. The bluetooth connection is strong and clear. I can only connect to 2 bluetooth devices such as my computer and my phone at any given time. People don’t have any issue hearing me on the call or voice chat.
There are several issues I have encountered while using it. When I was talking on my computer and if a notification coming via the phone then I lose the sounds from the computer for several seconds. I also don’t like the fact that I can’t hear my voice via bluetooth so it is sounding a little odd to get used to.
I think it worth it for less than $300. Maybe I try the Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX. However, I was told it is too new and would take at lest 8-10 weeks to arrive.
