New Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus Earbuds Deliver Speech Enhancement Technology

With most consumer audio companies looking for the best way to address the over-the-counter hearing aid market, Sennheiser Hearing, the consumer division of Sonova, introduced the new Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus at CES 2023. Leveraging the know-how of a leading audiology company, the new Sennheiser consumer-friendly design is presented as a speech enhancement solution, and allowing conversations in noisy environments. Many people find it difficult to clearly understand conversations in noisy environments, such as in a busy restaurant or on a loud street. Conversation Clear Plus features advanced speech enhancement technology to let users have conversations take center stage in every interaction. Combining smart, intuitive features, the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus are not marketed as OTC hearing aids, but instead as stylish earbuds that set a new standard for speech-enhanced consumer wearables.

Utilizing the same sophisticated Sonova chip technology that powers the company's medical hearing aids, conversations and calls are enhanced thanks to the Sennheiser Automatic Scene Detection feature, which analyzes the noise level of a user's environment and matches the speech enhancement level to their surroundings.
 
Integrated into the compact and modern earbuds, Automatic Scene Detection ensures the clearest speech in challenging environments, be it in person or on the phone. In concert with Active Noise Cancellation, Conversation Clear Plus works dynamically to block distracting noises and improve the clarity of conversations for every level of background noise.

Conversation Clear Plus lets users choose how much background noise they want to hear. Active Noise Cancellation blocks out distractions, while the Ambient Awareness mode enables more connection with the outside environment when desired. 

"Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus reflects our customers’ dynamic lives, allowing users to follow every conversation with ease, wherever they are," says Daniel Holenstein, Sennheiser Senior Product Manager. "An independent study showed 95% of users experienced significant speech enhancement in noisy situations when using the product."

With step-by-step guidance in the companion app, getting started with Conversation Clear Plus is easy. In combination with the Conversation Clear Plus app, the earbuds deliver an intuitive, hassle-free user experience for tailoring listening preferences. 

Dedicated settings for three different listening scenarios make personalizing the audio experience effortless. The ‘Relax’ listening scenario lets sound enthusiasts customize the amount of background noise they want to block, while the ‘Communication’ and ‘Streaming’ scenarios automatically adjust settings for the best performance and clarity during conversations and while streaming content, respectively.
 
Connecting is facilitated with integrated true wireless technology, making pairing with any Bluetooth-enabled device quick and hassle-free. Offering excellent comfort with its ergonomic design, the Conversation Clear Plus earbuds feature an outstanding nine-hour battery life so that they are charged and ready for whenever they are needed. The charging case makes recharging user-friendly on the go, offering another 27 hours of usage time.

According to Sennheiser Hearing, the new Conversation Clear Plus earbuds complement the new Sennheiser hearing solutions that the company intends to introduce in 2023 and beyond, for different needs and application situations.

The Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus will be available for pre-order on January 5, 2023, and on sale on January 20 with an MSRP of 849 Euros.
