Hmmm…
So @ToriNi is getting 3-4 days out of the Oticon Streamer Pro, and @cvkemp is getting 5-8 hours out of the Oticon Streamer Pro 2.
Are these 2 different devices? Radically different usage scenarios? It almost sounds like @ToriNi is using the streamer more than @cvkemp, yet getting far greater battery life.
You also have to understand my streamer is over 4 years old and is on all the time even when I am not streaming. Also my battery is on its last legs as they say. I will be retiring my present hearing aids and streamer in early December, and going to the lastest Oticon OPN, with the connect clip
It is because I don’t have it on all of the time. So it lasts longer. I’ll only use it for a hour at a time mostly.
Ah! I see. I keep mine on all the time so I can readily answer incoming phone calls.
Connect Clip won’t last near as long as the streamer pro.
Phonak Com Pilot 2. Very long battery life with streaming. Also connects to two phones at one time and one more Bluetooth device. So you can stream from one laptop, and take a call from either office phone or cell.
Yeah I’m not expecting it to last as long. But hopefully still be sufficient for my needs. Besides I am used to charging things regularly as I have an iPhone. Just hope it connects better to my iPhone X than the Streamer. They don’t play together very nicely when connecting initially. Have to keep turning it off and then try to reconnect again. Probably because the firmware is out of date most likely.
Heard good things about Phonak’s line of products. Just a shame I don’t like the sound Phonak has!
What do you not like about the sound?
Always been quite robotic when people talk. I then tried Oticon and it was more natural sounding. But it really depends on the individual and how they interpret sound. For me, digitally, I didn’t like Phonak. And this was a surprise after many years wearing analogue Phonak hearing aids, with tuning amended by a screwdriver… 
Mine sound normal and natural to me. What does robotic sound like?
Like a Dalek in Doctor Who. That’s how they were sounding when people spoke to me. But that was a few years ago. I have had Oticon for at least twelve years now so they are probably just as good now, but again, it is the individual’s preference. Approx seven years ago, I tried Phonak again but it was a poor fitting. They tried to move the high frequencies that I couldn’t hear into the low frequencies but they were awful. They later admitted it was more ideal for children or older people so that put me off even more! But I have heard only good things about Phonak’s line of accessories.
Hi ToriNi, I have a similar path with aids, started with Oticon synergy from th NHS, then had my private Oticon iic versions. Just last month I have been trialing the Phonak Brio3, and I know exactly what you mean about the dalek sound…having said that, by reducing the 1k frequencies just a faction, the sound immediate felt balanced and more natural…very similar to the Oticon sound. I’m convinced Daleks must speak using mid range frequencies only 
. At the moment i’m Very happy with the switch to Pkonak, but it really is a very personal thing.

Care to expand on that comment?
I was told the connect clip will last 7 hours on the full battery charge at the most
Good grief. Shouldn’t the technology be getting better? I work a 12 hour shift, and my EasyTek never once died on me.
But the connect clip is only needed if you are connecting to android or computers. The hearing aids will connect directly to IPhone and IOS devices
Ah, yes. Let me point you to my previous comment on that matter. I started this thread because I’m an unwavering Android guy, and that ain’t changing. So I’ll be needing a streamer of some sort. The streamer will play a key role in deciding which brand I go with.
Just throwing in my 2 cents, I’ve used the Resound Phone Clip+, the Signia/Rexton Streamline Mic / Smart Mic, and the Phonak Com Pilot 2.
I like a strong, robust connection to multiple devices at one time, so that leaves out the Signia/Rexton device.
Both Resound and the Phonak work well, but the Phonak has more features. It can connect to two phones plus one other Bluetooth device, so you can be connected to two phones and still stream from a third device. Also, the Com Pilot 2 has an audio in port. And, you can connect a lapel Mic to it, and that’s what I do. Since it announces caller ID, and has a lapel Mic in place all day, I keep the Com Pilot2 under my shirt and i never take my phone out of my pocket unless I make a call or play a game. It also has a very long battery life. I think the spec is 20 hours. I have done some heavy streaming and phone use with Webex meetings, and it has never run down.
By the way, Signia and Oticon use the same device. I don’t know which one developed it or maybe they both bought it from another developer. I think the Oticon version has the same limitations and performance as the Signia/Rexton version.
Yes, Oticon/Signia streamer is identical in capabilities.
I have two Resound Bluetooth Streamers. Together, the get me through a 12 hour work shift. I am using them for connecting to a Motorola 2way radio.
