Oticon Easy LE Adapter available in Europe

I’ve never used the TV Adapter (any version) so I don’t have experience with that. For what it’s worth, after the HAs have been connected to the Pixel and I want to connect to the PC, I just turn off the Pixel BT and then insert the FMA120 dongle into the PC and the HAs are connected. When I want to connect back to the Pixel I just remove the dongle from the PC and turn the Pixel BT back on. (All of this is after I paired the FMA120 to the Pixel with the FlooCast software.)

I paired my Intents to my Easy LE Adapter once and I am able to plug it into any device and it just works. Not had to pair again following the initial pairing.

Even if I’m connected to my iPhone using MFi, it just takes the connection once I start streaming using it.

Once I have removed the adapter, my iPhone automatically takes back the connection.

Thanks…That gives me hope … guess it’s taking awhile for the Easy LE Adapter to make it across the ocean to the U.S…:wink: haven’t heard back from my audiologist yet… I assume you need the 1.2 INTENT firmware to use the LE Adapter?

Yes, firmware 1.2.1. No issues with the update either. One of the reasons they released this adapter is so if there are any issues with iOS or Android updates (as there usually is), this will bypass those issues directly, which is reassuring.

I finally heard back from audiologist - she said it took awhile for Oticon to get back to her, but here’s what they said… seems like something’s missing from this quote, but it does appear LE Adapter is available in US now… I’m going in next week to get firmware update for the INTENTs …I forgot to ask her if this firmware update enables Auracast as well … I’ll ask her when I see her…

This is what Oticon said when she asked them:

"Thanks for the email and sorry for delay. LE Adaptor and updated Genie are ready now.

LE Adaptor with Intent products."

Thanks for the update. According to @e1405 no Auracast with this update. Suprising to me, but I guess they’ll add it at some point.
My carrier just had a big sale on the Pixel 9 for $399, so I made the jump.
I’ll still probably get the LE Adapter for my PC.
