Lexie
B2 Plus Powered by Bose
$899 – $999 / pair
Last typical street price before discontinuation; remaining stock may sell below this.
The Lexie B2 Plus Powered by Bose is discontinued: parent company LXE Hearing began winding down its US operations in July 2026, and support and warranties are only guaranteed through September 15, 2026. Before that, it was a $899 – $999 rechargeable OTC hearing aid for mild to moderate loss, best known for its Bose-developed self-fitting hearing test and phone-call streaming on both iPhone and Android. Remaining stock may sell below its last street price — but the clock on support is already running.

At a Glance
What we like
- Bose-developed self-fitting worked well — take the in-app hearing test, get a tuned fit at home
- Streamed phone calls on both iPhone and Android
- Often sold at $899 street — $100 under the newer Lexie B3
Worth knowing
- Support and warranties only guaranteed through September 15, 2026, as LXE Hearing winds down US operations
- The Lexie app — which runs the hearing test and adjustments — may stop working after that
- No music or media streaming and no hands-free calling; the B3 does both
- 18-hour battery was modest next to the B3's 32 hours
A great fit if you…
found clearance stock at a steep discount, can get set up in the app before September 15, 2026, and accept that support, warranty service, and possibly the app itself end after that — a case that shrinks by the day.
Look elsewhere if you…
want hearing aids you can count on past September 15, 2026 — and that's most people, since support, warranty coverage, and possibly the companion app all stop being guaranteed after that date.
Standout Features
- Bose-developed self-fitting with enhanced in-app hearing test
- Phone-call streaming on iPhone and Android; no music or media streaming
- 18-hour battery; charging case holds one extra full charge
- Front Focus dual-microphone directional mode
- Fits mild to moderate hearing loss

Our Take
The B2 Plus arrived in 2024 as Lexie's flagship, and it earned that spot. Its self-fitting system came from Bose: you took a hearing test in the Lexie app, and the aids tuned themselves to your results at home — no clinic visit needed. Phone-call streaming worked on both iPhone and Android, and at $899 – $999 a pair it made real hearing help feel reachable for people with mild to moderate loss. When the newer B3 arrived, the B2 Plus settled at $899 street, which only made it a better deal.
The Bose name was the heart of this product. Bose developed the self-fitting technology, proved it could work without a clinic, and handed the line to Lexie — and that pedigree is why so many people trusted an $899 hearing aid. That partnership's story is now ending: parent company LXE Hearing began winding down US operations in July 2026. Customer support and warranties are only guaranteed through September 15, 2026, and the companion app may stop working after that. Owners can keep wearing their aids, but adjustments, repairs, and warranty claims depend on a company that's leaving. Shoppers should treat any remaining stock as a short-term purchase, priced accordingly.
Most people should walk past the clearance bin and buy something with a company behind it. If the app-first, fit-it-yourself approach is what drew you to the B2 Plus, the Sennheiser All-Day Clear ($800 – $1,000) sits in the same price range. If budget was the point, the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro ($599) costs less than the B2 Plus ever did. And if watching a brand wind down makes you want a person to call, the Philips HearLink 9050 sold through Costco ($1,500 – $1,600) gives you a counter to walk back to, and the ReSound Savi ($1,300 – $3,000) is the step-up option if you're ready to spend more.

Lexie B2 Plus Powered by Bose Questions
Yes. The Lexie B2 Plus Powered by Bose is discontinued. Parent company LXE Hearing began winding down its US operations in July 2026, and customer support and warranties are only guaranteed through September 15, 2026. Remaining stock may still appear at retailers — sometimes below the last typical street price of $899 – $999 — but it's being sold off, not restocked.
Support and warranty service are only guaranteed through September 15, 2026, and the companion Lexie app may stop working after that date. The aids themselves should keep amplifying with your current settings, but the app handles the hearing test, adjustments, and call-streaming setup — so make any changes you want, and file any warranty claim, while support is still running.
The Sennheiser All-Day Clear ($800 – $1,000) is the closest match on price. If you bought the B2 Plus to save money, the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro ($599) costs even less. And if you'd rather have ongoing in-person help after watching a brand disappear, the Philips HearLink 9050 sold through Costco ($1,500 – $1,600) and the ReSound Savi ($1,300 – $3,000) are the step-up options.
For most people, no. Even below the last $899 – $999 street price, you'd be buying a device whose support and warranty end September 15, 2026, and whose app may stop working after that. Because the app runs the hearing test and all adjustments, that's a serious loss. It only makes sense at a very low price, treated as a short-term stopgap with eyes open.
