In a recent review, Zepp Clarity’s Omni, One, and Pixie hearing aids were put to the test to see if they lived up to the hype. Zepp Clarity’s new try-before-you-buy program aims to increase the adoption of hearing aids, but the hardware still needs some work.
The Zepp Clarity Omni, the most affordable option in the collection, boasts behind-the-ear design and physical controls for easy adjustment. However, the audio quality was lacking, with a thin and tinny sound that didn’t quite hit the mark. Despite a decent battery life and a discounted price, the bulky size and discomfort make it a less appealing choice for users.
On the other hand, the Zepp Clarity One offers an in-the-ear design for a more discreet look. Unfortunately, the limited configurability and usability issues, such as having to tap your ear to switch programs, hinder the overall experience. The high-pitched feedback and lack of streaming capabilities further detract from the appeal of these aids.
Lastly, the Zepp Clarity Pixie combines the design of the One with the features of the Omni, providing more customization options. However, the frequent feedback issues and static noise make it a challenging product to recommend. While the aids are comfortable to wear, the acoustical problems outweigh any physical comfort.
Overall, Zepp Clarity’s hearing aids have potential, but improvements are needed to make them a top choice for those with hearing loss. With competitive pricing and unique features, Zepp Clarity’s lineup has something to offer, but it falls short in terms of performance and user experience.
