Two Great Functions: The Mearsun MES-E100 Bone Conduction Hearing Aid
36 views
May 29, 2025
The Mearsun MES-E100 is a Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headphone, but it's also a hearing aid that can work completely independently of your smartphone. But what's really cool is that it doesn't go into your ear canal nor does it isolate you from the world around you with an earcup. Instead, it sits in front of your ear canal and it's the vibrations you actually hear. It's quite a pairing of two important audio technologies, and an easy way to try hearing enhancement technology.

out dave Taylor here and I'm checking
0:16
out these these are the Mirun MEES E100
0:20
bone conduction hearing aids now you're
0:23
looking at that and you're like "Those
0:24
do not look like any hearing aid you've
0:26
ever seen." but they're bone conduction
0:29
headphones so you put it behind your
0:31
head you put it over your ears and as
0:34
you can see they sit in front of your
0:37
ear canal so they're not on top of your
0:39
ear they're not in your ear they're in
0:42
front of your ear and yet they actually
0:46
enhance and improve the environmental
0:48
sound around you once you've set them up
0:52
and they also are Bluetooth headphones
0:54
so you can use these to listen to music
0:58
to watch videos on a computer or a TV a
1:01
lot of TVs have Bluetooth built in now
1:04
you can certainly use them for phone
1:06
calls or a Zoom call or something and
1:09
then when you need to you can just go
1:11
right back into hearing aid mode how
1:13
cool is that now to get them to work
1:16
properly you do have to run a hearing
1:19
test and so they have an app the Mir Sun
1:23
app i'll show you that in a minute or
1:25
two but I wanted to start out by showing
1:27
you that if you don't want to use a
1:30
smartphone at all these will work
1:32
perfectly fine with no devices and I
1:35
think that's really important cuz a lot
1:37
of these over-the-counter hearing aids
1:39
require that you have your smartphone
1:41
with you and for some people you
1:44
probably for a fair number of people
1:46
that's not something they always want to
1:48
have on their person so not only is
1:51
there a hearing aid test in the app but
1:53
they actually send you this separate
1:55
device too so I'm going to switch it on
1:59
and takes a second to warm up but what
2:02
it's going to do is it's actually going
2:04
to pair with these and then let me run
2:08
through a hearing test and as you can
2:10
see in the closeup it gives you left and
2:12
right ear so those are the two buttons
2:15
and then the center part you can choose
2:17
the modulation so I'm there is a sound
2:21
in the background right now and as I
2:22
turn this
2:24
up okay now I can hear it so the idea is
2:28
that I'm going to turn it up to where I
2:31
can just barely hear that and then push
2:34
okay and then go to the next frequency
2:37
and so you do this on both your left and
2:40
your right ear and then it actually
2:42
sends that data to this and it tunes its
2:46
hearing aid feature how cool is that
2:49
this does require three AAA batteries
2:52
that are
2:53
included but I'm going to turn it off
2:55
because what I want to do is I actually
2:57
want to have it work with my phone cuz I
3:00
am not one of those people who doesn't
3:02
want to have my phone anywhere around me
3:04
i actually have it with me pretty much
3:06
all the time so I should
3:09
say that these are for mild to moderate
3:13
hearing loss and frankly you can just
3:15
use them as bone conducting headphones
3:18
and not even worry about the hearing aid
3:20
feature so that's really nice if you
3:23
need it but your partner wants to listen
3:25
to music or watch a TV show and you
3:28
don't want to hear it you can loan them
3:30
this and they can use it just as
3:32
headphones and headphones there's not
3:34
really a word for what these are in the
3:36
industry but you know they're not on top
3:39
of my ear like headphones they're not in
3:42
my ear like earbuds so they're just sort
3:44
of a different beast and I will note
3:47
that on the very top there's volume
3:51
control up and down and then on the
3:53
right piece I won't call it an earpiece
3:56
cuz it's not on you know it's not in
3:58
your ear but the right one also has a
4:01
multi-function button more importantly
4:04
on the bottom there are two little
4:07
points that you charge with and the
4:10
comes with a carrying case and more
4:11
importantly it comes with this charging
4:14
cable so this is a custom charging cable
4:16
from Mir Sun so you basically put this
4:19
underneath and there's magnets so pops
4:21
right into place and then you have USBA
4:24
so you can plug this into your computer
4:26
or into a little wall charger whatever
4:28
so
4:30
cable the
4:31
headphones user guide and a carrying
4:35
case that's a little peculiar i find it
4:39
a little offputting to have that ear on
4:42
here i'm not sure why they chose to do
4:44
that i think that's probably cuz it's
4:46
like hey it's a hearing aid so we're
4:47
going to show you an ear but I would
4:50
have kind of preferred if it didn't have
4:51
that or you had the option of take that
4:53
off but honestly super trivial also
4:57
includes this but you don't need to
4:59
carry this with you because this is
5:01
essentially a use once device or maybe
5:05
every so often you might go back and try
5:07
it again just to make sure that you're
5:08
keeping up with your hearing sadly lost
5:11
people rarely get more hearing over time
5:14
but they do lose some hearing now in
5:16
terms of specs and functionality this is
5:19
Bluetooth 5.0 and it gives you like I
5:22
said it functions as a hearing aid but
5:25
it also gives you the ability to use it
5:27
for music and phone calls it is AI
5:30
powered and AI adaptive so they say that
5:34
it'll remove 88% of noise if you're
5:37
talking to somebody and it works with
5:41
multiple channels it's based on all of
5:43
these complex sound reduction and voice
5:46
enhancement algorithms
5:48
um that explain they explain it pretty
5:51
well on their website if you're curious
5:53
but the customized fitting I guess we
5:56
can I'll show you this piece again the
5:57
customizable fitting you can use the app
6:01
or the device and it adjusts you can
6:04
adjust the frequencies from 500 hertz
6:07
which is pretty low up to 8,000 hertz
6:10
which is really really high and so
6:13
you're going to get a sort of waveform
6:15
of what your hearing is like just like
6:16
you would if you had a hearing test and
6:18
it will use that to actually say "Oh
6:21
well these frequencies yeah you got a
6:24
really hard time with those so I'm going
6:25
to amp you know boost those up a lot but
6:28
at this frequency your hearing's perfect
6:30
so I'm not going to boost that at all."
6:32
So it compensates or tries to compensate
6:35
for your hearing which I like and gives
6:38
you left right balance and stuff in fact
6:40
let's just jump into the app so what I'm
6:43
going to do is first off let's make sure
6:45
it is paired with Bluetooth cuz I did
6:48
initially have it turned off i'll tell
6:50
you if you pair it with your phone with
6:52
Bluetooth and you leave it paired and
6:55
then you turn this on this will
6:57
basically just sit there and say "Okay
7:00
you're Bluetooth paired so you should be
7:02
doing your hearing test on the app." But
7:05
if you turn off Bluetooth then you can
7:08
use this or if you just use this
7:10
immediately when you pull it out of the
7:11
box before you've paired it with
7:13
Bluetooth then that gives you a good
7:15
option and then in terms of in the app
7:19
let me go ahead and put these on so I
7:21
can hear what's
7:23
happening so what I hear is just a
7:26
little bit of audio boost on the treble
7:29
on the higher frequencies as you would
7:31
have with voice i have almost perfect
7:34
hearing at this point thankfully and so
7:37
when I ran the test there really wasn't
7:39
much for it to do so it doesn't give me
7:41
a really big effect but as you can see
7:44
in the app here let me just go ahead and
7:46
start this
7:48
recording and the app doesn't give you
7:52
much functionality but it doesn't really
7:54
need much functionality so here you can
7:56
see I've already set it up and I can
7:59
adjust the volume and yes there are
8:03
things in Chinese so that's kind of
8:06
interesting but I can adjust the volume
8:09
of the hearing aid feature and I can
8:12
also adjust the left
8:14
right and then if I want to go take that
8:16
test I can do the fitting test here in
8:20
the app and that's pretty
8:22
straightforward i am not going to do
8:24
that for you and then finally you can
8:26
get into things like uh if you have
8:28
multiple devices and you can go into
8:31
settings and there really aren't very
8:33
many settings cuz it's a really simple
8:35
device and while it's kind of fun to
8:39
have a you know a device that has 10,000
8:41
different features this also gives you
8:43
the benefit of it just being really
8:45
simple so you don't need to really use
8:47
the app as long as this thing pairs
8:50
Bluetooth with your source device you're
8:52
good to go and there's not much else you
8:54
need to do i will also tell you that
8:56
it's IPX5 waterproof so if you want to
9:00
wear these and go for a run that's fine
9:02
if it starts to rain or you get sweaty
9:05
that's fine too it's waterproof so
9:07
really nice and in terms of battery life
9:10
then this will run for 14 hours without
9:14
needing a charge and when you do need a
9:16
charge like I said you just put this
9:19
underneath and then you plug the other
9:21
end into a USBA and give it a couple of
9:24
hours it has a little tiny light on the
9:26
bottom and it will actually show you
9:28
when it's fully charged and that's
9:30
really everything it's really not that
9:32
complicated a piece of hardware but it
9:35
is really some nice functionality now I
9:38
do need to set your expectations so bone
9:41
conduction there are like two
9:43
generations of bone conducting devices
9:46
and this is a first generation sort of
9:49
device so what you're going to get if
9:51
you listen to music or you use this and
9:54
watch a show off of Netflix on your
9:56
tablet or something is you're going to
9:58
get predominantly the middle and high
10:00
frequencies as you would expect from a
10:03
hearing aid device so if you're going to
10:05
put these on and you think "Great I'm
10:08
going to go and go back to my old school
10:10
EDM," you're going to miss a lot of the
10:12
bass frequencies that's just how this
10:15
generation works there is a newer second
10:18
generation of bone conducting devices
10:20
that give you weirdly a lot more bass
10:23
it's really pretty interesting this
10:25
company has not yet stepped into that
10:28
second generation and they probably
10:29
won't because a hearing aid doesn't need
10:32
to give you 100 Hz sounds it needs to
10:34
give you a thousand hertz sounds because
10:37
your primary goal with this is to be
10:39
able to hear people talking so if you
10:43
wear this and you are listening to music
10:46
your experience is going to be okay if
10:48
you wear this and you talk to someone on
10:50
the phone it's going to be a remarkable
10:53
experience and because it's open ear
10:56
it's not in or over your ear it's much
10:58
more hygienic and it's much much more
11:02
comfortable you can wear open these open
11:05
bone conducting sort of devices you can
11:07
wear them all day and honestly after 5
11:10
minutes you forget you even have them on
11:12
and then the phone rings and you start
11:14
talking to someone you're like "Oh my
11:15
gosh I still have this on that's so
11:16
amazing." So really an amazing
11:20
technology and the fact that they've
11:22
also been sort of tweaking with the
11:24
hearing aids features is really pretty
11:27
smart so I think these are definitely
11:29
ones that are worth checking out if
11:31
you're looking for something and you
11:33
have mild to moderate hearing loss and
11:35
you want to just be able to hear a
11:37
little better you just want to be able
11:38
to get a little bit more of the dialogue
11:40
when you're in a noisy environment and
11:42
someone's talking to you these will help
11:45
and the fact that you can also then just
11:47
use them for music or for phone calls or
11:50
for video and I tried latencywise
11:53
there's no latency i was watching a
11:55
video on YouTube that's from my friend
11:58
and the audio I heard was exactly synced
12:01
with his lips so that was great that's
12:03
one of the things you do have to be
12:05
careful of cuz if it's off too much it's
12:07
very disconcerting these do not have
12:09
that issue at all so really great
12:13
multi-function device they're small
12:15
they're lightweight they're really easy
12:17
to use you don't even need to have a
12:19
phone you don't even need to have a
12:21
phone for the initial testing you can
12:23
just use the device that they include
12:25
how smart is that so these are
12:28
definitely ones to check out now I am
12:30
going to ask you invite you to subscribe
12:33
to my channel click or tap on that
12:35
subscribe button hit that bell icon for
12:37
notifications of my new content and give
12:40
me a thumbs up if you found this of
12:43
value and I certainly hope you did great
12:46
this is the Merson
12:49
ME100 bone conduction hearing aid and it
12:53
is
12:55
$499.99 at
12:58
mirson.com it is a bit spendy but
13:01
compared to you know the kind of hearing
13:03
aids that you would get by having an
13:05
aiologist test you and fit them these
13:08
are dramatically less expensive and I
13:11
love that when you're wearing these
13:13
absolutely no one will think that you
13:16
have hearing aids on so in terms of
13:18
discretion these just look like you're
13:21
very hip with very modern technology and
13:24
you're able to listen to music whatever
13:26
but secretly it's also functioning as a
13:29
hearing aid and that's a pretty cool
13:31
design that's what I got hope to catch
13:34
you in my next
