Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus unveiled

Yes, you can listen to music with the Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus, but that’s not necessarily the main purpose of the wireless in-ear headphones. Rather, the earbuds are meant to ensure that speech intelligibility improves in noisy and busy environments.

In busy restaurants, bars or at concerts and the open road, the in-ears bring conversations more to the forefront while suppressing ambient noise, which is said to ensure better intelligibility of conversations.

Advanced Sonova chip technology improves speech intelligibility during calls and conversations. Automatic environment detection ensures that speech amplification is adjusted accordingly to the environment, which is automatically analyzed.

In addition to active noise cancellation (ANC), an “ambient awareness” mode is also offered, which allows certain sounds to continue to pass through. Additionally, the listening experience can be further customized to one’s preferences through the Conversation Clear Plus app via various settings.

Further Features

The Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus have three different listening modes that allow you to customize the sound to suit the situation. With the Relax mode, for example, you determine yourself what percentage of background noise you want to hear.

The Communication and Streaming modes automatically ensure the best possible speech intelligibility during conversations and phone calls (Communication) or when watching movies, series and videos (Streaming).

Thanks to True Wireless technology, Bluetooth-enabled devices can be connected to the Conversation Clear Plus quickly and easily. A frequency band of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz is covered, while 12 mm drivers are responsible for the sound. Analog MEMC microphones also enable phone calls and conversations.

The ergonomic design is said to make it comfortable to wear, while the battery is said to last for nine hours. Via the comparatively large carrying case, the battery life extends by an additional 27 hours.
