Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX - with Bluetooth Classic53

I’m unsure which hearing aid to buy and would love some advice.
LE Audio and Auracast seem to be the future, but as of now, iPhone (even with iOS 18.3) doesn’t support these features. Plus, there are currently no public places like airports, train stations, or theaters using Auracast—though that might change in the next five years.

Given the current situation, what would you choose?
A hearing aid with MFi and Auracast, or one with Classic Bluetooth for better compatibility today?

I think you need to answer the question yourself as it depends on your requirements.

If you have an iPhone and do not use a PC, then it’s probably worth going for the version without BCT. This will enable you to get the benefit of if and when it is rolled out via iOS updates in the future.

If you have Android (except for the latest Samsung S23 onwards) and you use a PC, then it’s probably worth going with the BCT version.

Yeah this is just a teaser, a big launch coming soon for sure, I guess they could’ve gone MFA (Made for all) which included .

Yes we’re aware as we discussed, but what I was saying, is a MFA (Made For All) which includes the classic Bluetooth chip, that would make sense.

If it doesn’t do or /, then something different is going on. I suppose they could have disabled that on the first chip but I’d think that integrating the second chip would be harder than just using a different one. No mention I’ve seen of adding Classic to the other features, it seems to me to be instead.

Late answer but here it goes: The Signia C&G IX will not get (It has but Signia has confirmed that it will not have Auracast, see FAQ in the link below). IMHO, getting the BCT is the best option.
