Lucid Hearing Tala vs. Signia Pure Charge&Go IX
Check out our comparison of the Lucid Hearing Tala vs Signia Pure Charge&Go IX. Listen to audio samples and see how the two hearing aids differ in terms of sound performance, features, accessories, and more.
Summary
Product Description
The Lucid Tala is a new over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid priced at $1,299.99 per pair, designed to enhance speech clarity and offer wireless streaming for both iOS and Android devices. While it features customizable sound settings through the Lucid Hearing app and boasts a 16-hour battery life, it lacks ear-level controls and has subpar Bluetooth audio quality, making it a mixed bag for users.
Product Description
I was very impressed with the Signia Pure Charge&Go IX's overall design, sound performance, and app capabilities. These cutting-edge hearing aids offer advanced features such as hands-free calling, iOS and Android streaming, and a robust 39-hour battery life.
