For what it’s worth, I returned my M&RIE Jabra’s about 3 weeks after getting them. This was primarily based on their poor streaming performance. I’ve written about this before, but with any streaming, including phone calls, sometimes the sound was centered as it should be, other times I would hear the sound separately in each ear (presumably a left/right sync issue). And I couldn’t walk down the street with my phone in my shorts pocket without losing connection to the aid on the other side. And music was just awful, with no bass (despite maximizing this in programming by the fitter, and in the app). I don’t expect full rich sound, but this was ridiculous.
I found the App to be glitchy, often losing connection, or if I walked away from the phone, it wouldn’t reconnect with the App when I got back in range. And in my car, using Android Auto, calls went to my hearing aids, rather than the car’s system, requiring me to manually switch connection on the phone or the car’s display.
I think this all relates to the ASHA method of BT LE connection to my phone (Galaxy S21 Ultra). And I expect at least some of these issues will be addressed with future firmware updates. I even called Jabra’s tech support people about this, twice, but never got a sense that this had risen enough to their attention to expect anything soon.
Regarding their regular Hearing Aid performance, they didn’t clearly beat out the Widex Unique 330’s I’ve been using for the past 4 years. But in fairness, given the short time frame, it is possible or even likely we never tuned them sufficiently to get the best out of them.
I go tomorrow to get the KS10’s, and am hoping for better performance all around. Time will tell.
FWIW.
