I think the 500 does. What does the website say?

The Enhanced Pro 20 supports , the EP 10 supports only BT LE - no . I believe both EP models support made for iphone and .

Go to the Jabra web site where is says the Enhance 500 supports . So all it needs is an assist program to connect, like in the Samsung S23 or S24.

This doesn’t mean that there won’t be incompatibility issues with some devices, as we are in early innings.

Ok I see that the Enhance 500 does support and . But so does the Enhance Pro 20 which is a clone of the GN Resound Nexia 9. There are numerous web pages about that of course.

In fact from this video where the guy explains it all, the Enhance 500 is the same technology as the Resound entry level Nexia 5 and the Jabra Enhance Pro 20 is the same technology as the Resound premium level Nexia 9.

And both have LE Audio/Auracast.

That’s what I said earlier.

Philbob57 clarified things by saying the older EP10 does not support since ipres didn’t say which EP version.

The current model, Enhance Pro 20, does support .

To connect to an Auracast broadcast you need an assistant such as what is installed on the Samsung S23 or S24 phones.

Expect other bands of phones to install an assistant on their new phones in the coming year.

Note that Auracast is new, so expect bugs and compatibility issues.

It doesn’t have to be an OS thing. I connected to an broadcast with my cheap earbuds through the assistant built into the buds’ app. There’s no reason why Jabra- or any of the hearing aid manufacturers- couldn’t provide that functionality.

Yes, the folks at Bluetooth have said it can be built in software or some other software based application.

Heck, we have seen an iPhone connect to an broadcast using software. So nothing new there.

Clearly, there is an advantage to having the assistant on your phone as your cell phone is in your possession most of the time, and it comes with a screen to view and select from multiple broadcasts.

The new regulations require it to installed into phones going forward. 2026?

But you still need an assistant, phone or other device, built in or software app.

A great article. Thank you for sharing. Very informative information about the inner workings of transmissions.
