Upcoming Costco Appointment - Rexton Reach VS Philips 9050, Advice?

Thanks for the info. I probably will go with the Philips 9050 because of what has been said about the sound quality. I’ve just been spoiled with the hearing aids I have that make it so easy to switch from one device to another. I use my tablet much of the time as a little portable TV because I can get our Google TV using it. I think I’ll just get a better set of Bluetooth earphones. My understanding is that if I used the Bluetooth on my phone for calls I would have to turn it off when using another device or if I would use it on another device and got a phone call by the time I turned off and on devices I would lose the call. I guess You can’t have everything. What led me also to the Philips if the battery life.

Sue, just so you know, the Pixel 6 only supports ASHA, which is the android low energy bluetooth used by most HA makers. Sonova (maker of your KS10), is the only mfg which uses BT Classic.
So you won’t get hands-free phone calling, or connection to your pc or tablet without the Philip AudioClip accessory.
You will be able to stream audio from your Pixel to the 9050’s, and hear phone callers, but you’ll have to use the phone’s speaker for them to hear you.

I also chose the Reach over the 9040 after trialing both. I wrote a review of the Reach earlier today. I decided to pass on the 9050 since I was very pleased with the Reach.
