And my brief experience with an A2DP transmitter indicated that the KS10’s don’t use that. It’s why I settled on the TV Connector due to experiencing out of sync audio.
Using an A2DP receiver (with wired headphones) had no delay.
Update: My apologies. Aptx.
Thanks @WhiteHat.

From this very interesting website: Hearing Tracker KS-108

Bluetooth® Audio3 Protocol * Bluetooth® (A2DP)
Hands-Free Calling Protocol. * Bluetooth® (HFP)

Looks like it is there, to me. The KS-10 is pretty close in functionality to my P90R , and I use A2DP every day. I use HFP often also, maybe not every day. But that is how I do 99% of my phone calls now. I stream a lot of podcasts via A2DP.

That is true for earlier versions of Apple Watch. Not true for at least the last 4 or so years. I made calls from my p90r through my son’s older Apple Watch while he was at Army basic and AIT and couldn’t have such toys. He has his Watch back and I like it enough I bought myself one, but have not bt connected it to my HAs. But I know it works. Works with AirPods, too.

Just to clarify… you’re saying you could leave your phone at home, dial a number from your cellular Apple Watch, and have the audio from the call play through your hearing aids?

My phone could be off and the call would go through the . I always have my phone, though. And I turn the notifications off so I’m not hearing them in my HAs.

In watch os 8 you can classify non MFI Bluetooth devices. This may or may not help (can’t try it as I returned my Phonak aids and have More 1 MFI aids).

Go into Bluetooth on the watch.

Click i by device

Set type to hearing aid.

Supposedly this helps with sound level, notifications etc. Apple is silent re phone calls.

Anybody know if the new Apple Watch 8 has the protocols that allow it to do two way phone calls with the KS10?
