“Life changing” hearing solution – BeHear PROXY personal TV sound system review
Mrs. Frances Berga reviews the BeHear PROXY Personal TV Sound System:
I am hard of hearing and have tried many different devices and spent a lot of $$$$. I have to listen to the TV very loud. But not anymore, believe me I know what I’m talking about when I say this headset works great as long as your TV has Bluetooth capability, also works great with my iPhone! For me the most important part was it working with my TV and me not having to sit here with big bulky earphones on or earbuds plugged in to my ear.
With this device I can hear my television clearly and still hear everything going on around me! I can’t praise this product enough; it has really changed my life in such a short time.
If you are hard of hearing and other people are living with you and the volume of the TV bothers them, this is worth the investment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
FYI, if you don’t like things on your neck you can do like I do sometimes and put it on the arm of your chair or somewhere close to you. That being said, it’s pretty light weight. [Even though] I have some neck problems it doesn’t bother me at all and I watch hours of TV.
Alango BeHear NOW and Bose Hearphones Features Compared
Hearables Comparison Published on Hearing Tracker
♦ Bose Hearphones were introduced in 2016. They feature active noise reduction, directional microphones, Bluetooth audio and call streaming, smartphone app control, and more. But with the hearables market heating up, there are now multiple alternatives to consider, some of which offer similar technology at a lower price point.
Alango’s BeHear NOW headset, launched in 2018 by Alango’s Wear & Hear (W&H) assistive products line, is the most noteworthy Bose Hearphones alternative. Both the Alango and Bose headsets aim to enhance hearing, and both support Class II Bluetooth connectivity. And because both use an in-ear neckband form factor, they are strikingly similar in appearance.
“But with BeHear NOW coming in at just $249 (versus $499 for the Bose), price is a major differentiator between the two.”
And aside from price, there are a number of key differences to consider when comparing the Bose Hearphones with Alango’s BeHear NOW. To read the entire comparative article, click here.
