Summary
Product Description
The Signia Active Pro IX offers the functionality of a high-performance hearing aid in a sleek, earbud-like design, making it ideal for those who value both modern aesthetics and advanced hearing enhancement. Lab tests showed strong performance in speech clarity and music streaming, though its instant-fit design has some limitations, such as reduced feedback handling and lack of custom-fit personalization.
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.
