Customers like the functionality of the product. They say it works well to test their church hearing loop, with a standard 3.5 mm jack and a pair of better stereo headphones. It does a good job of testing the loop and is an excellent unit at a very realistic price.

16 customers mention ‘Noise level’6 positive10 negative

Customers have different views on the noise level of the product. Some find it reassuring to hear the sound clearly and loudly in the pews, making it great for hearing service in churches. Others mention that it produces excessive 50 Hz hum at modest gains, making it difficult to test the quality. The unit is described as noisy and microphonic, with physical vibrations getting converted to sound due to its cheap inductor.

12 customers mention ‘Quality’3 positive9 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the earphones provided. They mention the earphones are cheap and not very good, but they do the job. Some customers also say the product is faulty and uses a cheap inductor as its pickup.

"...Picks up the church induction loop with no problem. The earphones are very cheap and cheerful and fall off my ears rather too easily as they just..." Read more

"Awful and faulty product. Have used a similar product for years...." Read more

"..." (physical vibrations get converted to sound) because it uses a really cheap inductor as its pickup. It has no microphone, it shouldn't do that!..." Read more

7 customers mention ‘Switch functionality’0 positive7 negative

Customers are unhappy with the switch functionality. They say it comes on automatically when plugged in, and there is no power switch. Some units don't turn off when phones are off, and what that switch is for is unclear without instructions.

"...It does not have a separate on/off switch which is a bit disappointing. It could easily have been incorporated into the volume control...." Read more

"...Unlike other reviewers' units, mine does not switch off when the 'phones are unplugged. Seems I have to disconnect the battery...." Read more

"...There is no power switch; the unit turns on when you plug in the headset and turns off when you unplug them." Read more

I purchased an Adastra LR2 Induction Loop Receiver in Dec 2018. As with other reviewers, it is working fine to check my church hearing loop. The volume control on my unit works in the usual direction (clockwise for increasing volume) unlike earlier reviews.
The supplied earpieces (as pictured) are cheap'n'cheerful but the unit has a standard 3.5 mm jack and a pair of better stereo headphones worked fine. Plugging these in still acts as the on/off switch. My unit was supplied with an alkaline MN1604/6LR61 battery (PP3 in old money).
Instructions are still not supplied so read the other comments for these. The front slides up (rather stiffly when new) to access the battery compartment. The battery clip leads are restrained tightly inside the unit making the battery somewhat fiddly to fit.

Well worth buying

I was going to make one of these but at the price they are I decided to buy. It works well. Very loud and good quality when used with good headphones or ear moulds. It uses a pp3 for a battery and lasts a long time. The volume control works the right way , clockwise to make it louder. The headphone switches it on when you plug it in. The filter should be switched on all the time. Normal hearing aids have the filter on permanently. I don’t know why the filter switch was not used to switch the unit on and off and hard wired the filter on. My wife likes it very much and has to keep the volume about a third up, otherwise it is too loud !

Good value for money

Does exactly what is says on the tin. Picks up the church induction loop with no problem. The earphones are very cheap and cheerful and fall off my ears rather too easily as they just sit at the entrance to the ear canal. If you are going to use the unit a lot probably worth buying some better-fitting earphones. Also bear in mind that when you plug in the earphones it powers up the unit so remember to disconnect them when you have finished using the unit. It does not have a separate on/off switch which is a bit disappointing. It could easily have been incorporated into the volume control. This is only a minor gripe and as it does not detract from the usefulness of the unit I don't feel it justifies a star less.

Does the job

Bought this to replace an (extremely expensive) equivalent provided with our hearing loop and it does the job fine at 1/4 the price. Use your own headphones, rather than the very cheap and cheerful earbuds provided. Only slight issue was the headphone socket - had to rotate the headphone plug a little to get it going, but did the job of testing the loop.

Does an excellent job for the price
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2023

Bought (with cheap over-ear headphones) to plug in an old lady who kept nagging me to buy a new sound system. It does a good job; I compared it with an Ampetronic ILR1 and actually the sound was a bit less Dalek through the Adastra. Yes, that surprised me too! Induction loops are far from hi-fi, but they do a reasonable job of relaying the critical bandwidth. I had plenty of gain left in the volume control; I'm not deaf and I had it only just above the cut-in point (volume is definitely non-linear at that end of the pot track, hence 4 stars on volume control).
I note some reviewers say it's a bit microphonic. It is, so I took the cover off (keep persuading the sliding cover all the way up, it'll come right off) and found that if I wedged a little tissue paper under the axial ferrite L1, it dampened the ringing. (Adastra - add a bit of foam!) All in all, it will save my ears from ringing with the complaints!

Awful and faulty product. Have used a similar product for years. Used this once and the headphones crackled terribly causing loud noises for my mother, as well as great discomfort. Headphone jack switches the loop receiver on/off, but clearly this unit had not been tested properly. Not good.
