Jabra pro 20 Auracast is a waste of time.
Jabra online support is useless and just a beginners introduction to bluetooth.
Jabra email help was routed from tech support to sales! Sales had absolutely no clue what I was referring to and referred me back to the same online beginners information. Clueless and useless.
So, do not waste your time on either of them.
I finally found a savvy tech at this Jabra support phone number:
888-511-3864
The clarification about Jabras and Auracast is this:
The Phones on the supported list can stream music to the Jabra 1:1 via old bluetooth.
*Phones on the supported list can “mostly” make a totally hands free call. My S23 does.
(and my old Moto phones could do this for the last decade, what is the problem here?)
The Auracast claims and advertising are NOT trurhful. Jabra pro 20 will receive an Auracast transmission “from a Jabra device”. The transmission is “private”. Meaning just that, from Jabra tech only.
*Samsung has also made untrue claims about Auracast.
My S23 can start an Auracast transmission but it is again “private” and can only be received by Samsung proprietary products. Not at all compliant with the point of Auracast.
What a crappy way to provide what was/is hyped as a liberating open project.
BTW The Auracast working group has not responded to the above.
Neither Resound, the Jabra manufacturer, nor Samsung will answer if either product can be furure updated.
So, why be a beta tester for these products? Both are going back.
…This paragraph from Jabra should be rewritten with my capitalized clarifications…
Auracast broadcast audio (ONLY FROM A JABRA PRODUCT) works with Jabra Enhance Pro 20 and compatible mobile devices (WORKING ONLY AS AN AURACAST ASSISTANT) with Bluetooth 5.3 or later and the latest Bluetooth LE Audio streaming protocol (BUT NOT AS AN AURACAST TRANSMITTER, UNLESS IT’S A JABRA)
Someone please show me I am wrong.
