Bellman Maxi Pro review

The Maxi Pro is a personal amplifier with more connections than the classic pocket listeners. Its microphone brings conversation around a dinner table closer, and Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX low latency links it to a phone for calls and audio. Bellman rates the output at up to 135 dB and the rechargeable battery at up to 70 hours, and the box includes both on-ear headphones and in-ear earbuds with built-in microphones for hands-free calls. Telecoil hearing aid users can add the BE9159 neck loop. For TV, Bellman is clear that you need the separately sold Maxi Pro TV Streamer (BE2022); once it is set up you listen at your own volume while the TV stays at a level others like. The price when we checked was $239.95 on sale against $299.95, with a two-year warranty. The add-ons are the main catch: a full TV and hearing aid setup costs more than the base unit.
