What Users Are Saying

Ms Lee wearing Kite 2

Ms. Lee

My hearing declined after retiring. I could not hear clearly. Now, I can have normal conversations. I have used Kite 2 for over 1 year and I feel much better than before I started wearing it. The price is an important factor, of course. It is a very cost-effective solution. I use it for conversations and listening to e-books, and I will strongly recommend it.

Mr Kwok wearing Kite 2

Mr. Kwok

A friend introduced Kite 2 to me. It has made my life much more convenient. I can now hear clearly when watching TV and with friends and family. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Mrs Wong wearing Kite 2

Ms. Wong

My daughter deliberately lowered her voice talking to me while having tea, and I was able to hear clearly. I was surprised and moved.

After Kite 2 came out, I gave it to my grandma for trial. From being reluctant to try at first, she admitted it is really good after a month of use.

How to Get Started?

1Book a free hearing test and trial at our Wong Chuk Hang or Science Park hearing centres. After the test, our caring professionals will tune Kite 2 for your family member's unique hearing condition.

2If you find it useful, you may pay a 100% REFUNDABLE deposit (HK$ 5999) and bring it home for a 30-day trial.

3During the 30-day trial, try it in different scenarios to confirm that it meets your family member's needs.

The Bluetooth effect is excellent, which effectively solves the problem of the elderly answering phone calls on their mobile phones.

- Mr Ng, Hong Kong

My father is extremely satisfied with Kite 2. I strongly recommend Kite 2 to others having challenges with hearing.

- Virendrak4222, Hong Kong

I gave it to my grandmother to wear on her ear, and the effect is very good. Previously, even when I spoke very close to her, she couldn't hear me, but now she can hear what I'm saying. The key is that she doesn't need any other devices, because it's also like using a regular Bluetooth earphone. The Bluetooth mode is also very powerful, and it switches automatically. It's worth recommending and definitely worth the money!
