Sorry (not sorry) to hijack this thread, but do you guys know, if, when using headphones, does using just one suffice? Or do I need both?
One is good

Headphones for masked only
I misunderstood the question I think. I was thinking about one headphone side or both sides

That’s what I meant. When I’m using headphones and someone is speaking to me, usually I take one bud out and keep listening with the remaining one

Thanks for the link, but the question is, if this still applies after all the tech updates.
The thread is from 2019. Was this still Q age?
AFAIK the tech requirements decreased in the meantime. Meaning you can get better results with cheaper hardware.
Perhaps they had two different audio channels and now have only one? Or maybe the other way round?
@AnswerGroup Can you shed some light on the question if one earbud is enough, so if I talk to someone I can still continue listening with just one bud? Or is it still so, that it leads to clearly diminished results?

I can answer that one for sure then. Ultima (old tech) was the only one that requires headphones.
One ear or the other is ok. Speakers wouldn’t be effective if both ears needed to be involved.

Listening to masked over speakers is not optimal.
So listening with one ear should be also not optimal.

I’m using masked with speakers now and alternate between Sonos roam and my Samsung ultra phone. I actually feel my results are better this way than headphones.
I have not noticed dismissed results. It’s actually more encompassing for me.
I’m sure hearing the script in both ears and not just one helps, although according to support, it does not require stereo, and the input is the same on both channels.

Thats interesting.
I think maybe sometimes it’s too much what you hear with headphones compared to speakers. Perhaps this reduces the risk of overload and therefore also the risk of recon symptoms. This can then lead to better results. The same could probably be achieved by finding your sweet spot with headphones and not listening too much at the beginning.
At least that would explain to me why you see better results with speakers.

So, if micro-loops are still too much, one could try a one-ear micro-loop.
