Looks like the 3 models that Costco is currently offering are:
Philips HearLink 9050
Jabra Enhance Pro 30
Rexton Reach
Any recommendations, particularly for someone who uses a Samsung Galaxy Flip 5?
I have the Flip 5 and the Jabra 20’s and just yeaterday got the jabra 30’s they both have auracast and the flip 5 also work very well with them.
They also supposedly have Sennheiser Sonite Rs in all locations now. They’re the Costco equivalent of Phonak Lumitys.
They do have the Sennheiser Sonite Rs … but they are not the latest tech like the three that the OP listed .
For the same price he can get the latest tech.
Sennheiser, a Phonack sub-brand, still uses Bluetooth classic. For some folks that’s important if they are using old phones and computers. Since these are a Phonak sub-brand, they may sound similar to what you are currently using. Folks are hoping that Phoank will update the Sennheiser brand to be similar to their current Sphere this year.
The other three brands should give you hands-free calling.
The Jabra brand has turned on Auracast capability. See Auracast threads to get a better understanding as to how this works and why it is important to some folks.
The Jabra brand may give you better hearing in noise situations. Some folks say it does and some say it doesn’t.
The other two brands have the capability for Auracast, but haven’t turned on that feature yet.
Thanks everyone. Guess I’ll have to do some reading on Auracast.
