Artone 3 MAX - World's strongest streamer

1: it is smaller than I thought it would be based on other pictures I saw. 2: directions were easy to read/clear and easy to pair to two devices. 3: I had a bad experience with a previous neckloop(not this brand) years ago, it was very weak. This one is incredibly strong with volume and signal strength to the hearing aids. I keep the volume on my phone less than half now. 4: This device saved me $1700. I ordered Bluetooth hearing aids. First they were slightly underpowered and the Bluetooth volume was very weak. I returned the hearing aids and got this. I wish I had sooner. I have severe to profound loss in both ears. I use the Siemens Lotus 23 SP hearing aid. Found several years ago online for cheap and work great! Very powerful. They have three programs(microphone, microphone and telecom and lastly just telecoil) So, as long as you have telecoil on your hearing aids this will work. Since I have a mode with telecoil and microphone I can hear/talk on the phone and without switching the hearing aid program. If you just have microphone or telecoil programs, then you will switch to telecoil when you want to use this neckloop. I do that too sometimes if there is a lot of background noise. In that case I switch my hearing aids to telecoil only so that noise is blocked. Sound quality of voice and music is great. The ones I am speaking to don’t seem to even know I am using a Bluetooth device. There is a microphone on the neckloop. You can change the volume and answer/Hangup and dial last number right from the neckloop. Fantastic. Battery life is good. It will last all day if you just use it to make/take calls. The battery will last less if you stream audio from your phone such as music/video. I discovered that you can charge and use the neckloop at the same time. I have a portable battery pack I use to charge my phone. If I am going to stream a lot or the battery I gets low then I will charge it this way. There is a low battery alert. Plug it in right away as it will shut down with in 1 min. I understand Artone has another adapter so this can be linked to your TV. I will proably get that as well. All said and done. I highly recommend this. I spent years looking for a way to get my phone to wireless connect to my hearing aids. Bought new Bluetooth aids but never got enough boost. With this device there is no shortage of volume boost, it’s clear and works great. I would support Artone making it a little bigger and putting a bigger longer lasting battery but that’s a small detail really given everything it’s done for me now. UPDATE: I’ve had it for 16 months. It stopped transmitting the FM signal to the telecoil. The Bluetooth still worked but with the FM signal not working I wasn’t able to use it anymore. Expected it to last longer but I use it nearly everyday. So, I bought another one as my review above states I’ve tried others and this is the best solution I’ve found. That said, if you can get a 2-3 year warranty, I suggest getting it.

Product: The neck loop is light weight, good mic and sound quality. Have purchased 2 of these and used them with phones, laptop and tablet on a daily basis. The product gets good reviews from other users. Warranty Support: Recommend purchasing the product thru Amazon along with the offered protection plan that will cover replacement for 2 or 3 years. I tried to return the product for repair (12 month warranty) to the manufacturer and found it had to be shipped to Prague/Czech Republic (there were no other instructions). The company indicated I should have entered a value of $5 on the customs form instead of the $130 cost so it was returned to me as unclaimed. I assume they did not claim the product as they did not want to pay the customs fees.

Work very well during 3 month. Suddenly, stop charging the battery. I have checked the charger, cable and are ok. I didn't damage device in any way. Bad post sales service. I asked for some help on may 5th, but I have not receive any answer. I'm user of hearing aid, in left ear, and cochlear implant, in right ear. I need it because I can't use 2 different device to connect with mobile. I can't spend more or less USS$200 every 3 month because sellers it's no responsible for their products

I had an Artone neckloop a long time ago. It worked great for a few years until the battery could no longer hold a charge. I needed to upgrade to the newer technology devices, and went with the Clearsounds brand, first with the Quatro3 and then with Quattro4. Besides being heavy and noisy, the microphones did not pick up my voice and people on the other end always complained that they couldn't hear me, no matter how loud I talked. I ordered a replacement Quattro4 thinking that something must have gone wrong with it, and got the same results. So, I finally decided to but a new Artone 3 Max. What a difference! First it was lighter - a LOT lighter. Second, people could actually hear me! It does a lot better job staying connected, so that when I leave my desk to get coffee, the Artone stays connected where the others had to start up again and connect. Lastly, the charge time is amazing. I can charge it in 45 minutes. The difference is amazing. I love this thing!

Clear Sounds quit making their Quattro Pro line of neck-loops so I tried this one, and like it. Quattro's lasts about a year and I've had all the different models. All are larger and heavier, and the most recent versions had very low outgoing volumes, so I was often forced to hold the unit to my mouth and speak loud in order for people to hear me. The sound quality is reasonable, but I need high volumes because of my hearing loss and have to find the highest volume that works without distortion. If I make it too loud it the sound distorts and becomes harder to understand. The Arton is much smaller and lighter, but has as good receiving sound quality and GREAT outgoing sound quality. No one asks me to speak louder and I don't need to raise my voice or hold the unit up to my mouth so people can hear me. Compared to my old Clear Sounds equipment this is a big improvement. Compared to the Clear Sounds the Aron's battery life is quite short if I use it to talk a lot. I spend a lot of time on conference calls and in order to make it though the day I have to plug it in to a charger while I use it for several hours a day. That's not convenient but it gets me through the day. If all I used it for was casual calls I doubt that would ever be a problem. I think I can talk for around 2 hours before it needs recharging. To be fair, the battery on my old Clear Sounds was probably almost as big as the whole Arton unit. I think it still might be the best value on the market, if I knew a better one I'd have bought it.

I wish I could put ZERO stars! I have 2 Artone 3 max neckloops - both completely dead. I have BTE (behind the ear) hearing-aids and while this product worked, it delivered music and calls smoothly to my phone. I would even take it grocery shopping with me to catch-up on phone calls without the kids. But with each neckloop, a Lou 3 months after purchase, they completely died. As in they will charge, even connect to Bluetooth, but no sound. I even went to my hearing-aid specialist and we tried a few different hearing aids (all 3 with telecoil) and still no response from the Artone 3 Max. I emailed the Artone company and no response. All I want is at least 1 replacement - that's it! If you are looking for a top quality product and have severe hearing-loss like myself, consider Bluetooth headphones instead (they even have kinds that work just for those of us with hearing-loss - google it!). Do not waste your money here! I do miss the clarity of the sound - if I could get a replacement, I would gladly rewrite this review. I want a company that stands behind their product!

I have searched for years for a product that would allow me to stream audio from my TV directly to My hearing aids via the T- coil. I recently bought an Amazon fire stick streamer with a built in Bluetooth transmitter, it works perfectly with the Artone 3max. I’m sure any of the smart TVs or streamers would work equally as well with the Artone 3 max. The sound is crystal clear and the volume is adjustable. Battery charge lasts about 4 hours but you can plug into a charger (included) or an auxiliary battery. Artone should advertise more I had no idea such an amazing product existed. I accidentally found this product while researching for a t-coil loop system. This is a fraction of the cost of a loop system and works perfectly. This streamer has a one year warranty I had a problem with it after 5 months I called Amazon and had a replacement in 2 days I was very happy. If I ever have to buy another one after the warranty I would buy the extended warranty. I just love this product.

My aids have Tcoil but anyway it didn't work. Not compatible and description said it should work... It's not true. Lost my time...
