I used the term “article” very loosely and it’s not surprising a non native speaker misunderstood me. Your English is excellent.

I also have the S23 and I am finding it to have very stable connectivity to my Oticon More1 aids, even more stable than the iPhones I have used. And I don’t miss total hands free at all.

Agree it’s very confusing and your guess is as good as mine. The terms “Source” (broadcast transmitter) and “Assistant” are related to Auracast, so my guess is, that your phone supports LC3, Multi-Stream and Unicast but not Auracast.

Correct, there are 2 part of , Source is the device broadcast source…

Assistant is the broadcast picker that you will have on the phone which is auracast picker that connected to control the hearing device

That depends on if Oticon does an update to the aids or not. The aids do have LE Bluetooth, but I am sure a very limited subset

LE Bluetooth is old [by tech standards] and in no way signifies device readiness for which is quite a different beast.

And now the headphones to go with that dongle:

Creative Technology today announced the release of the all-new Creative Zen Hybrid Pro wireless headphones and their accompanying bundles, the Creative Zen Hybrid ProClassic and Creative Zen Hybrid ProSXFI, all adorned with an alluringly sleek new...

Signia just released new , and IX platform, they have [supposedly] the same hardware but added new “voice in noise tracking” firmware feature. [with the exception of Silk which are rechargeable now]
And also this:

The Pure Charge&Go IX is ready for today and the Bluetooth LE Audio standard.

I highly doubt that it will trickle down to a previous generation, even if it’s the same hardware, because it doesn’t make them money.

Wow. Three years and something later, and finally this. Ok, it’s “ready” only, but you definitely win the chocolate frog.

You know, you’re probably right but it makes me angry. I would be even angrier if I had that previous generation that isn’t getting upgraded! Who knows though? They might surprise us.

Has it ever happened with any ?
I’ve bought Signias Stylettos 7AX, because they seemed quite recent and future proof (also I’ve tested several brands and signia sounded the best to me).
Well, they moved the one software feature that probably would made the biggest difference, into the new line (two if counting ).
It’s more than annoying. Pure marketing BS.
