Signia just released update to their fitting software, which includes support for the new IX , so we can look at what was actually added.
They updated “Dynamic Soundscape Processing” to 3.0 and it looks exactly the same.
Next, in Sound Settings they added a new beamforming feature, which combines/replaces some old.
That’s all…

All very interesting, it might be that new users and not experienced users would notice much of a different from the X and AX, but what… no support for

So if that works out with a firmware update,then we know that it’s backwards compatible with bluetooth 5.2? That would be fantastic because a number of other brands will follow suit.

It probably is but representative of Signia stated that AX platform won’t be updated to . There’s an email floating here somewhere.
They need something to push the sale of new .
It’s good that LE Audio is finally landing, as competition will have to make moves too. And I consider to be a major failure.

6 listening profiles with IX7, same as AX platform. Or 5 if you’ve meant initial fit profiles.

Can you elaborate? Thanks in advance.

The IX platforms merges their previous beamforming modes into one automatic mode that follows voice sources and splits beam streams accordingly [up to three depending on the ’s level].
is mentioned but it’s in “ready” state, which means that they will release firmware update in the future to activate it.
LE Audio has a lot of potential, as it’s universal across devices [which would mean more accessories independent from manufacturers] unlike current or , lower latency, lower energy usage and better audio quality when streaming, amongst other things [it can be used for broadcasting like systems].

The beamforming tech needs to be tested/reviewed first, then we’ll see. is an industry standard that they’re adopting, the hardware actually remains unchanged from the Previous AX platform [in the case of ]. Since it’s all software and it isn’t all in yet even, I remain unimpressed.
It feels like a very forced marketing move.

I agree about the .
We’ll look for the reviews, but if the RealTime Conversation Enhancement does what they claim, I will see it as a big step forward.

Somewhat frustratingly, I can only find the feature guide in German

Ok so that’s interesting, this so called “new” platform has the same streaming capabilities as the older versions, it’s only at the moment until it gets a “future firmware” update for , but states they can stream directly from your TV without any other device using Bluetooth, so thats whatever profile being offered by ones TV? but ASHA for compatible mobile phones, plus still harping on about the StreamlineMic throughout seems a bit strange.
I don’t like it, it all marketing hype by the looks of it, but I didn’t expect anything “groundbreaking” anyway!

Not much is different. Interestingly they added new round semi-open dome, making the receiver setups identical to what Widex has.

Here is a link to an article which explains how the IX platform is different than and exceeds the capabilities of the AX platform, which it is built on.
Are Signia Integrated Xperience (IX) hearing aids better than Oticon REAL and...43
Read through this article to learn about the latest technology from Signia, the Signia Integrated Xperience (IX) hearing aids.
In addition, this Signia white paper further explains how the AX platform was augmented to develop of the IX platform:
“The new RTCE technology is developed on top of the Augmented Focus processing (split processing) . . , (which) enables separate processing of speech and noise by splitting the incoming noise into two different streams.
“In IX, controlled by advanced sound analysis, RTCE adds three separate focus streams to the split-processing focus stream in the front hemisphere.
“. . . The analysis involves the processing of 192,000 data points per second.
“. . . As the focus streams are constantly adapting their position, width, and level of enhancement, refreshing 1,000 times per second, they will adapt immediately to the conversation layout . . .”

Results from a study on the perceptual effects show that a significant improvement in speech understanding is offered by RealTime Conversation Enhancement.

LE Audio has a lot of potential, as it’s universal across devices [which would mean more accessories independent from manufacturers] unlike current ASHA or MFi, lower latency, lower energy usage and better audio quality when streaming, amongst other things [it can be used for broadcasting like telecoil systems].
this means that these will connect to iphone or android seamlessly?
no more “made for iphone” shit?

We don’t know where Apple stands on this yet.
There are some weird implementations currently, but ultimately yes, you will be able to connect anything / enabled.
