Reviews
I'm reviewing this product based on my mother in law's experience. We got it for her mostly to help her hear the television better. It has really helped her with the TV, but beyond that, she uses it whenever she has visitors, and we no longer need to shout at her to be understood. So, for the price, we're very happy. She doesn't leave the house much, and doesn't need anything discreet, so this just worked for her.

Bluetooth streaming works perfectly with my phone - calls and music sound crystal clear.

The 48-hour battery life is incredible, I only charge it twice a week with daily use.
