Audien Hearing Atom Pro 2 vs. Sennheiser All-Day Clear

Audien’s Atom Pro 2 is an easy-to-use, budget-friendly OTC option with excellent battery life, but our hands-on experience and HearAdvisor lab results show weak speech clarity—especially in noise—leaving it a “you get what you pay for” choice for mild needs rather than a true disruptor.

Featuring hands-free calling, Bluetooth streaming for both iPhone and Android, and intelligent scene detection for optimal sound quality, these devices provide a user-friendly and high-quality hearing solution.

Audien Atom Pro 2 achieved a SoundScore of 2.48/5 and a SoundGrade of C in HearAdvisor lab testing. It ranked #45 of 61 OTC Hearing Aid devices tested. The OTC Hearing Aid category average SoundScore was 3.47/5.

Sennheiser All Day Clear achieved a SoundScore of 4.20/5 in HearAdvisor lab testing. The OTC Hearing Aid category average SoundScore was 3.47/5.

Audien Atom Pro 2 hearing aids lack an IP rating, so they might not be the best against moisture or dust. While using them they feel decently built and they do come with an excellent portable charging case.

All Day Clear have an ingress protection rating of 68, meaning they offer impressive protection against moisture and debris. They feel well built in hand and the case, while on the larger side, offers good storage protection and should hold up to daily use.

They boast a 24-hour battery life, which is impressive for their small size. Recharging is on the longer end and can take up to 5 hours.

All Day Clear last up to 20 hours per charge, meaning they should last your entire day.

The All-Day Clear app is straightforward and offers useful customization like volume control, programs, and a 3-Band EQ. It is missing more advanced features commonly found in other products like directional microphone controls and health tracking.

I did not find Atom Pro 2 to be the most comfortable OTC in-ear hearing aids. This was likely due to their larger size and not being tailored to a standard ear shape.

I found All Day Clear comfortable, even with prolonged wear times, and did not experience any retention issues.

The design of Atom Pro 2 falls between a custom hearing aid and wireless earbud. They are only available in a medical beige color, which is meant to match skin color, but will not suit everyone. The case does include a UV cleaning light which is a nice touch.

Sennheiser All Day Clear look and feel like modern prescription hearing aids in an OTC package.

Audien Atom Pro 2 has a value score of 3.6/5 based on lab performance and public display price.

Sennheiser All Day Clear has a value score of 4.6/5 based on lab performance and public display price.

I found Atom easy to use though they can be more challenging to insert and remove due to the small pull tab. Two features I really liked were the larger program buttons and easy to use portable charger.

All Day Clear are fairly easy to use receiver-in-canal style hearing aids and I did not run into any usability issues while trying them. One things worth noting is that, while the case works well, it does not have an internal battery and must be plugged in to charge.

Like many OTC products, Audien does not offer remote assistance from hearing experts, support is limited to email and phone customer support.

All Day Clear are self-fit OTC hearing aids, intended to be by you in the comforts of your home. However, Sennheiser offers an in-office option where they can be programmed by a provider like more traditional prescription devices.
