You may have seen other products that use the same form factor as BeHear PROXY. However, although the industrial design is the same, the electronics inside, feature set, and audio performance are different.
PROXY supports the following features which are non-existent in the generic products with the same form factor:
ListenThroughTM for ambient sound transparency during music playback, keeping you safe and alert SonicVibranceTM which enriches the stereo listening experience during music playback EasyListenTM which slows down speech during phone calls for improved intelligibility Alango's personal hearing technology for ambient sound amplification
In addition, PROXY uses Alango's proprietary DSP software for remote voice communication (mobile phone calls) with significant improvement of sound quality compared to standard solutions used in generic products. This is especially important for phone conversations heard through loudspeakers.
