How well can you hear normal speech?

I'm not sure how you're using this, but you can people speaking at normal level. Not whispers. I wear it under a helmet, I hear my riding partner through the helmet and the obnoxious sound of a Harley. It blocks sounds over a certain db range that can cause damage.

So long as the little plugs are Not Inserted you can hear very well. Put the plugs in and everything is either silent or highly muffled.

You can hear normal speech when the inserts are out. When you put the inserts in it cuts the noise level down like a normal ear plug.

You can, however it's going to be muffled even with the plugs out. I got these expecting they'd work similar to electronic muffs, but expect them to work more like normal ear plugs.

I talk in my normal voice no problem being heard. I can hear my callers very clearly, and volume is adjustable.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

I think if you are close enough it would be. I suspect that it would do well if you have no difficulty at all hearing the lecturer clearly - meaning not a ton of background noise and a fairly clear lecturer's voice. I've used it for interviews where the interviewee was about six feet away and it is crystal clear.

They work ok and I can for once hear all the words, but the sound quality is not all that good. Expect to hear words not beautiful stereo sounds.

Sibilance is nearly eliminated, unless you really push for it for effect. Then the hissing sounds more 'normal' as in regular conversation.

It sounds clear and the volume is average at best. If you are hearing impaired, you should look elsewhere. Hope that helps.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say 5, I can listen to my music just fine, but if the surrounding noise is to loud, you won't be able to hear all the details of your audio. The volume of the sound is good, its not a earphone so if you're listening to anything on a very high volume it will be heard by others near you, but it won't be very clear. The volume on the headsets is good so you won't need to turn up the volume to enjoy your audio.

You will still be able to hear people around you speaking, although again it will be muffled. You might do better with a pair of music earpieces/headphones designed to cancel ambient noise.

I'm going to say that depends. They do have a nice sound quality, but regional accents, actors mumbling, poor audio quality of the TV show and a multitude of other factors can effect whether you understand dialog or not. It's not just a hearing problem in my experience. You might be better off exploring if there is a way to turn on captions on your TV. Some internet providers will give you this capability and so do some of the modern apps like I turn on captions for Netflix using my Roku. Good luck!

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

I bought the unit a year ago and would say the noise is normal, I can have a conversation easily while it is running.

Well, I downloaded an app for my phone but I do not trust it. My mild speaking voice is registering at 90dB on the app. I can give you an estimate though. Talking is between 50-65dB and I can talk to my wife without raising my voice while she has it on high. So, I'd guess it falls around 55ish.

I wish I could answer that, I barely get mine to work. I can't pick up voices over 5 to 8 feet away.

I would say voice tones come across clear. Good bass does not drown out voice

In an enclosed room I was able to hear people within 20ft reasonably well. Within 6ft it will probably be very clear.

My friend who has better hearing than myself says she can hear the difference but, to me it sounds about the same.
