Adapter missing. Took 9 days to get it.
The product clearly states that it comes with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. When mine arrived on August 8th, it did not. I could not test the product since I do not have any devices that use the rare 2.5mm plug. I contacted the seller via Amazon and they responded that they would send me one at no charge. It finally arrived today (8/17). Took 9 days but now I can test the product.<br /><br />Not sure why this product uses a rare 2.5mm headphone plug. As far as i know, the only devices that use this are very old flip phones (10+ years ago models). A family member has a Alcatel flip phone they bought last year and it has a typical 3.5mm headphone jack. The only other product that I know has 2.5mm are some cordless home phones.<br /><br />The reason for the 2 star rating is that the product works (I have only tested it for about 15 minutes) but the fact you have to always use an adapter with any modern product is going to be very inconvenient. An adapter is easy to loose and this type of adapter is not very easy to find if you need one right away as you will basically need to order it online to replace it. I hope that the manufacturer will update this product with a modern 3.5mm plug.<br /><br />The coiled cord is also annoying. Its coiled length is too short to be useful and it takes a bit of force to stretch it which can cause the hooks to move away from the hearing aids. It needs a 6 foot straight cord like any typical stereo headphone uses, since these are really just headphones for hearing aid users.<br /><br />This product feels like it was designed by engineers who do not wear hearing aids or do not have access to people who do. It is ultimately a good idea with a poor design. If my hearing aids had bluetooth, I would not have needed these.
