Coby Wireless TV Speaker for Seniors & Hard of Hearing – Portable TV Audio Amplifier with Bluetooth, 100ft Range, 8-Hour Playback, Stereo Sound, Optical/AUX Input, Hearing Assistance for Smart TVs

This product works amazing and has some really neat features! I bought this for my grandfather and he loves it! the most important thing is the audio quality is great, the audio is crisp with no static, instantaneous and LOUD. I moved this all over my room to test it out and there was absolutely zero drop off. The build quality is very solid the fabric front gives it a nice premium feel that doesnt look plasticky or cheap, and the LED indicators are bright and super intuitive. performance is premium. The volume knob has a very nice smooth motion that is easy to manipulate AND there is a built in one touch mute button in case someone starts talking to you or you need to hear something (my grandfather LOVES this feature). Super easy to use for him. The speaker charges on the dock so realistically you dont have to worry about battery life at all since when you're done watching tv you put the speaker back on its dock and it charges automatically, although if you want to hide the dock away out of sight you can just charge the speaker with a standard cable (this is how I set it up) Another super neat feature is the ability to attach headphones to the speaker itself which transforms any old headphones you have lying around into wireless TV headphones that wont disturb anyone even if someone is in the same bed as you. My grandmother is over the moon about this 😄 The tv is ceiling mounted so I was worried how I would set up the dock but I ran the optical cable through the celling into my attic where the tv is powered from the transmission is flawless even through the ceiling of the bedroom to the attic. beware this speaker doesn't work unless you set your tv mode to PCM. when I fruit turned it on it made this weird static noise but I checked the manual and it told me to switch the audio output of the tv to PCM then it worked flawlessly. I will update this review once i fully test the battery life, but so far this senior tv speaker is awesome! the price of this speaker is really amazing its almost half the price of the competitors being sold here and it works way better. ---------------- update: battery life 9+ hrs which is way more than enough

Easy to set up! My mom is enjoying hearing her tv and I'm enjoying her tv volume not being on vol 95! Charge seems to last from when she is awake until bed time. Today was 12 hours.. more than satisfied!

I bought this for my 85 yr old father-in-law who's hard of hearing and not tech savvy. I connected the base to the TV fine and it was automatically paired with the speaker. However, the sound was horrible, like it was under water. I then tried connecting it to my TV directly using blue tooth, I was able to pair it with the TV and the sound was very good. The problem is when the TV is shut off it defaults to it's own speakers, so you have to manually select the Coby device each time, there's no way he's doing that. I'm returning the unit and looking for a better option.

I own lots of expensive audio components, so I was keeping my expectations low for something inexpensive like this Coby bluetooth speaker. But... it is great! Super simple controls, feels well made, easy to plug in (I used the optical audio cable, they include one but I had a better one as well). The optical goes from TV to base unit, then power the base unit with a USB cable and you are done. Clear sound for voice - news, sports is what I wanted and what I got! My use: I watch the financial news on the kitchen TV while I sit in the breakfast nook. This allows the sound to be right by me and my computer (at a lower volume) without bothering family in the kitchen itself. VERY happy with this, 10 STARS.

Works great. Got for parents who are hard of hearing. Put on end table between them so they don't need to set the TV on 90!!

Worked ok for an about two weeks. Now volume control does not respond save your money!

I’ve had it for two weeks. So far it works great. Very pleased. Clear voice.

We returned this but we have previously had one. The speaker is sufficient to allow my hearing aid wearing husband to enjoy TV without the whole house being involved. He often would take the speaker off the base to the dining room table so he could eat. Speaker lasted us for several years before replacing. Good value for money.
