I may be wrong, but I don’t think there are loop channels for left and right anyway. Nor would the Tcoil have the ability to differentiate and pick one channel over the other. So I think Tcoil is always mono, but I would love to be wrong on this.
It looks like you are correct, telecoil is mono (or perhaps dual mono) unless using something like Music Links. This is probably one of several reasons why telecoil doesn’t seem very popular and Auracast is supposed to be a dramatic shift.
@user1078 Did I miss the final comparison or was it posted in another thread. Thanks
Speaking of telecoil, yesterday, I was comparing telecoil (using the Bellman & Symfon High Powered Neck Loop, $80) to the Philips AudioClip ($260) with my 9040’s. Also plugged the loop into my iPad. The AudioClip had much deeper bass, but the neck loop performance was totally acceptable…would not have a problem using it for Zoom meetings. I checked the loop out from my university library, but may buy one anyway as my church does not have telecoil installed. They do have assistive listening devices with plug in speakers that clip over the ears…I could just plug the loop into the receiver. I know a number of members that have HAs and it would be nice to have the neck loops on hand for those that can use them.

My old church has FM receivers and headphones that sound similar to what you describe. I plugged my Roger on into the FM receiver and it worked very well. I didn’t go for telecoil equipped aids because I didn’t know of any sites I frequent that were telecoil equipped. But providing loops for those that can use it is a great idea for the meantime until LE audio & auracast are available, and we have the aids to use it.

It’s too bad Demant didn’t merge the clip mic to have both USB/Bluetooth and 3.5mm.
You could also try a 3.5mm to Bluetooth adapter to AudioClip. That might cause some delay.
