Concha Labs has made Free audio headphones Since 2017, marketing only one product – the Concha Sol.
The Audio helps Have a known design, a classic rear-ear configuration with a simple swing control at the back of each. Concha particularly appears its customability: the SOL comes of four colors your choice, and can be configured with lead draws in four different sizes, although it should be noted that many competitive audio headphones have feathered wires, which can be adjusted during the fly and replaced by larger or smaller ones.
At the time of your order, Concha works to convert the audio help to the size of your ears, skin tone and the color of your hair (if you are lucky to stay), maximizing the likelihood that they will merge and fit properly. I received the gray model with the longest available leads and measured the weight of these devices at 2.03 grams, which is very light for back audio headphones.
Replaceable batteries
The main reason behind such light weight is the greatest disadvantage of the SOL: replaceable batteries. This is somewhat underage in today’s hearing world, and it is amazing that Concha Labs is still clinging to a withering powerful model, which requires the user to smoke by sliding in a new pair of small batteries every 5 to 7 days. While replaceable batteries offer a much longer lifetime than even the best rechargeable cells (as well as the aforementioned lighter weight), they are still annoyance that few enjoy. (The last research I saw from 2021 have shown that 70 percent of users of audio aids prefer rechargeable audio systems.)
Assuming you are in order with a replaceable battery system, the Concha Sol has a lot for them. It starts with a configuration. Concha does not use predefined sound profiles like most OTC helps. Predefined profiles are pretinated frequency waveforms based on thousands of historical audio trials that people have taken over the years. These audiograms are on average, and a handful of representative audiograms are loaded onto the hardware. When you do an in-app audio test, the app finds out which of these audiograms is closest to yours and loads the appropriate corrections into the audio capacity. It’s not perfect, but for most users it’s pretty good.
Concha has a built -in audio test in its app, but it is quite the opposite of the typical audio test, where you listen to pinges at different frequencies and volumes until a complete image of your hearing loss develops. After some initial level configuration, Concha’s system, called Soundscope, asks you to listen (with each ear) to paired, repeated words, then identify whether sample A or sample B sounds best. It’s like an eye exam, just for your ears.
