COBY Wireless Digital Hearing Amplifier TV Audio Speaker for Hard of Hearing - Portable TV Listening Assistance Bluetooth Speaker for Seniors, Elderly, and Hearing Impaired with Voice Highlighting

The media could not be loaded. This product works amazing and has some really neat features!I bought this for my grandfather and he loves it! the most important thing is the audio quality is great, the audio is crisp with no static, instantaneous and LOUD. I moved this all over my room to test it out and there was absolutely zero drop off. The build quality is very solid the fabric front gives it a nice premium feel that doesnt look plasticky or cheap, and the LED indicators are bright and super intuitive. performance is premium.The volume knob has a very nice smooth motion that is easy to manipulate AND there is a built in one touch mute button in case someone starts talking to you or you need to hear something (my grandfather LOVES this feature). Super easy to use for him.The speaker charges on the dock so realistically you dont have to worry about battery life at all since when you're done watching tv you put the speaker back on its dock and it charges automatically, although if you want to hide the dock away out of sight you can just charge the speaker with a standard cable (this is how I set it up)Another super neat feature is the ability to attach headphones to the speaker itself which transforms any old headphones you have lying around into wireless TV headphones that wont disturb anyone even if someone is in the same bed as you. My grandmother is over the moon about this 😄The tv is ceiling mounted so I was worried how I would set up the dock but I ran the optical cable through the celling into my attic where the tv is powered from the transmission is flawless even through the ceiling of the bedroom to the attic.beware this speaker doesn't work unless you set your tv mode to PCM. when I fruit turned it on it made this weird static noise but I checked the manual and it told me to switch the audio output of the tv to PCM then it worked flawlessly.I will update this review once i fully test the battery life, but so far this senior tv speaker is awesome! the price of this speaker is really amazing its almost half the price of the competitors being sold here and it works way better.----------------update: battery life 9+ hrs which is way more than enough

Instructions were clear. Had this up and working in very little time. Sound quality is better than I expected.

This speaker did not work with our TCL television. I tried the suggested ways of connecting the tv to the device. The speaker does work with my iPhone, but that’s not what I bought it for.

Hooked it up to Samsung TV via optical cable. Has a background buzz behind sound, which increases along with volume. Tried it on another Samsung TV, which is the same model. Was even worse. Instructions for setup were adequate. Tried it with in line and also RCA connection options. Those didn't work at all. I haven't decided if I will keep it. It does work as an external, portable, speaker for my bookshelf audio/CD player. So it is kind of nice to take the speaker into an adjoining room to listen to the music.UPDATE TO REVIEW - I got rid of the background buzz after reading the user manual for a ZVOX speaker. Two things not mentioned in the Coby manual took care of the problem, but I don't know which of the 2 did the trick. 1). Turned the internal speakers all to zero plus muted the sound 2). Pushed the optical cable in until I heard a click. I like being able to put the speaker near me in the middle of the room, instead of worrying about the neighbor's on the other side of the wall having to listen to my TV up against that wall.

I love this. My husband won't wear his hearing aids therefore the tv is very loud. I can sit in another room and hear everything being said. This product has stopped the ear splitting sound and I can now watch tv with my husband. He sits it beside his chair and can control the volume making it easier for both of us. I repeat, I love this product.
