Clear Conversation in Noisy Environments with Sennheiser

Hearing experts, Sennheiser have announced its Conversation Clear Plus, in-ear buds offering crisper conversations in noisy environments whenever you need it.
Many people find it difficult to clearly understand conversations in noisy environments, such as in a busy restaurant or on a loud street. Sennheiser's new Conversation Clear Plus features advanced speech enhancement technology to let your conversation take centre stage in every interaction. With their smart, intuitive features, these stylish earbuds set a new standard for speech-enhanced consumer wearables.
Drawing on technology from parent company, Sonova, Conversation Clear Plus utilises a sophisticated Sonova chip. Conversations and calls are enhanced thanks to the Sennheiser Automatic Scene Detection feature, which analyses the noise level of a user's environment and matches the speech enhancement level to their surroundings.
In concert with Active Noise Cancellation, Conversation Clear Plus works dynamically to block distracting noises and improve the clarity of conversations for every level of background noise. It also lets you choose how much background noise you want to hear. Active Noise Cancellation blocks out distractions, while the Ambient Awareness mode enables more connection with the outside environment when desired.
Daniel Holenstein, Sennheiser Senior Product Manager, told StereoNET:
Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus reflects our customers' dynamic lives, allowing users to follow every conversation with ease, wherever they are. An independent study showed 95% of users experienced significant speech enhancement in noisy situations when using the product.
The companion app offers step-by-step guidance so that getting started with Conversation Clear Plus is easy. The app also delivers an intuitive, hassle-free user experience for tailoring listening preferences. Dedicated settings for three different listening scenarios make personalising the audio experience effortless. The 'Relax' listening scenario lets sound enthusiasts customise the amount of background noise they want to block. The 'Communication' and 'Streaming' scenarios automatically adjust settings for the best performance and clarity during conversations and while streaming content.
Conversation Clear Plus earbuds offer nine hours of battery life, and the charging case makes recharging user-friendly on the go, offering another 27 hours of usage time.
Available from January 20, 2023, Sennheiser Conversation Clear Plus will sell for $849.99 USD.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
