Barrier-free model with 3 large buttons

Suitable for motor impairments. 3 large buttons (diameter 3cm) control 3 playlists. The buttons have high-contrast colors and a large distance between them. For configuring hörbert, there are many options available for individual customization.

External assistance devices

hörbert’s barrier-free variant has a connection for external buttons or control devices. hörbert can be switched on/off with a single button. A battery interrupter is therefore unnecessary. Optionally, a second button can be used to control hörbert. The appropriate Y-cable is included in the delivery.

USB-C Power Supply

hörbert for seniors features a USB-C connection for power supply. For mobile operation, it is possible to optionally insert 4 NiMH rechargeable batteries into hörbert’s battery holder. These batteries are automatically charged while hörbert is connected to a power source. hörbert can be used normally during charging.

Intuitive operation

Press hörbert’s volume button, and it will start playing from the point where it was last turned off. Each of the three buttons is assigned to its own playlist. When you press one of the colorful buttons, hörbert plays the songs or audiobooks of the corresponding playlist in sequence. Simply press another button to play a different playlist. If you turn hörbert off again by pressing its volume button, it remembers the last playback position.

Full Control

The operation of our products is intuitive and analog. There is no display – navigation through the content is done by pressing buttons. However, content and functions are managed digitally via any Wi-Fi-enabled device (2.4GHz) using an internet browser. We call this the Browser SET Mode:
It allows you to easily change hörbert’s settings or manage tracks and internet radio stations – all without tools or special software. Starting from firmware version “Butterfly,” the Browser SET Mode is available. You simply need to connect to the device via Wi-Fi. hörbert opens its own Wi-Fi network when you press the SET button inside the device.

Unlimited Streaming

No follow-up costs! Unlimited content is available to you via Internet radio over Wi-Fi. The web radio stations can be added to playlists just like regular tracks. The browser set mode offers a search function by station name to help you find the radio stations.

Or maybe you want to stream music from your phone via Bluetooth, like with any regular Bluetooth speaker? All you need to do is press hörbert’s volume control twice in succession to turn it on, and connect your phone.

Listen to free content

hörbert’s included memory cards all contain at least 2 hours of pre-installed music and audiobooks. In total, the included card has space for over 50 hours of content (e.g., in MP3 format).

You can transfer your own music or audio plays to hörbert’s memory card. Either by uploading files from a mobile phone/tablet or PC in browser setup mode, or by simply copying files into the folders on hörbert’s memory card from a PC with a card reader.

And the best part? The content on your memory cards belongs to you! You don’t need an account or an internet connection to use it.

Bluetooth headphones

Not everyone wants or should listen in on their surroundings – for this case, Bluetooth headphones can be connected with hörbert.
Specifically for people with hearing impairments, there are extra loud headphones that can be connected to hörbert via Bluetooth.

Built-in microphone

To use hörbert as a communication aid, the built-in microphone is used. This makes it easy to record your own messages, which can be accessed later at the press of a button.

Tip: Personal voice recordings from family members add a nice personal touch for hörbert owners.

Sustainably produced, only 2% plastic

We rely on the highest quality and health safety in the production and selection of materials. hörbert is made from sustainable, locally sourced wood, stainless steel, and only a small amount of recyclable plastic used for the electronic components. Manufacturing takes place under socially fair conditions in Germany.

This, combined with features such as durability, reparability, and minimal packaging, is our approach to environmentally conscious and meaningful use of electronic products.

And in case something does go wrong, hörbert is of course repairable!
