I didn’t think the ability of the Lumitys to connect directly to my computer BT would matter much to me. But since I’ve been doing neighborhood association board meeting minutes with the Lumitys, I find them incredibly useful for that:
The main drawback, as detailed in the linked post, is that there still is an annoying latency lag in playing back audio segments related to particular problematic transcript segments. It would be even worse, probably, if I were using ReSound HA’s with the Phone Clip+ as an intermediary connecting device. I could wear a BT wireless headphone over ReSound HA’s and connect directly to the computer that way (and I’ll try it when I trial the Omnias) but the direct in-the-ear quality of the sound with the Lumitys is great. Better than I remember audio quality with my Quattros and over-the-hear BT headphones.
Hopefully, when BT LE Audio becomes a thing with both computers and HA’s, the latency problem will go away.
