My 4-year KS-10 has short battery life. It also cannot hear what my wife said in noisy restaurant or church dinners. So I went to Costco for a new Jabra Pro-30 because it has an chips dedicating for noise deduction on addition of the main chip. However, Costco specialist told me to use Philip HearLink 9050 based on my hearing profile. She said that If I use Jabra pro 30, I will be overwhelmed by its loud sound. I know that the Philip uses AI in its single chip hardwear, but dual chips may have the edge regarding noise suppression. I like to hear the opinions from community. Thanks. Ming

The Philips 9060 has just been released at Costco here in Canada. I would give those a try. The Jabra Enhanced Pro 30 have manually invoked noise suppression which did not work that well for me. I got sucked into their marketing too. The bluetooth stability with the iPhone 17 Pro Max was terrible. The Philips 9050 was much better, and I suspect that the 9060s will be even better.

Also the Soundgear AMP. I was blown away by it hear-in-noise capability.

The Jabra is good in restaurants IME. Why wouldn't loudness me a fitting issue?

My reco is to try them out in store. Put some music you like on your phone (if it isn't there already) and stream to each . The SG AMP sounded pretty bad to me in my brief tryout.
