Have hearing loss, need need clear, precise mid + high range sounds for voice. Bass unimportant. Is mike get in way, or a nuisance? Don't need mike

Don't remember there being a mike. If so i don't use it. Use primarily for listening to music while i workout. The problem is primarily the high range sounds. My hearing is not the best but it doesn't compare to the set i had before. It was the same brand and model.

Mine does not have a mic, that's the crotch of the cord in the pics. That heavy plastic at the crotch is not too bad, because it prevents the shirt clip from sliding up the cord. Bass is pretty good for such small drivers. Mid-tones are muddled, but highs are pretty clear. All-in-all, this is a pair for the road, not at home listening.

NO MIC, friend.. but for the rest it is realy good and the price is a joke. Try it! Good sounds for you..

I am a senior with no hearing problems. I love these. There is not a mike that I know of. I just use it for listening to music on my iphone.

There is no mic, so it won't get in the way. I've noticed these earbuds don't have much treble, but have more mid and low ends when playing music. I like these earbuds because the cord is really light.

Amplification is good, but for my father in law...it's the clarity that is challenging. He does wear hearing aids & it does announce who is calling

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

it depends on whether you're playing music or voice. i find speech is only clear close up, and acrosss the room it's only certain voices i fully understand. with music it's fine.

Hi Brian. No, there isn't. It is a consistent sound and that is a huge benefit (to me). The others that I used to had a detectable sound pattern, and quite frankly, they were annoying. There is a high and a low volume setting and I like both settings. I am 70 years old and have tried many "sound machines" over the years that were loaded with different sounds at a lower price. Although I did not want to spend this much, I have never regretted it. We have 4 on these Marpac DOHM DS's in our house. Good luck with your decision.Bob

No. This is a pure midrange speaker. No bass to speak of at low range of 200 kHz.

My reiever gives me a maual option. I do the test and see which sound better on test. There is a slight variation in sound but only at lower volumn levels. As you increase volume its negligible.

No, since the M-100 is pretty efficient. But a good quality DAC and amplifier may give you even better sound.

No. You'd be better off with Grado SR60 which has a brighter, edgier sound and less subdued bass. Really you need to audition a few at a audio shop to decide for yourself about comfort as well as your music tastes - take some tracks to the store with you for the audition.

i would use something that has an active noise canceling function (requires a battery to produce a noise canceling "counter sound wave"). MEEs will cut out ambient noise well - but not well enough for the high dBA from mowing - i think.

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

I am also a hearing aid user and I really miss live music. I still go to shows but using HAs really distorts the loud music and listening without looses part of the music even if overall it is loud enough. I am looking for a headphone amp with a graphic equalizer and a stereo microphone for the amp input. If folks have any suggestions, I hope they will post them.

Yes, but it depends on the nature and severity of your loss. They have very good fidelity and the ear muffs screen out most external background noise. There are no "tone" controls however, so you get a full spectrum amplification. I have a mid-range (cookie-bight) hearing loss and there were still times when I could not understand all the dialogue, but over all, they helped a great deal.

Mine sounds a lot better with the mike on. Much richer sound. Have not used it enough to comment on normal vs distance.

I have never tried it in an area like that. I'm not sure what type of mike would cancel out that much noise. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I'm sorry, but you have me absolutely stumped on this one. During my product search my focus was predicated on sound, quality, appearance and technical service availability, all of which in the instance of these speakers have exceeded expectations. Wish I could be of assistance and good luck with your search.

You can use an equalizer to help boost the frequencies you are missing there by improving your hearing. You would have to use the EQ between the source and either a headphone amp or a power amp with a heaphone out. Stereo would be best, so 2 of these Behringer FBQ800's would be necessary. Good lock...
