HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 @Joan @Jewel Cool. I wonder if the Rondo 2 kit is the same worldwide?

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted June 29, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I was wondering the same thing @Mary Beth. I would love to know cos then I wouldn't bother to buy the Artone separately. sassychele02 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/3670-rondo2-unboxed/#findComment-22496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted June 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I wouldn't mind having two, @Jewel . The battery life is pretty good, but on vacation I was listening to an audiobook and I did have to stop and recharge. Two would help.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted June 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 And when you think about it, a neckloop is a logical accessory. There's no way to connect a Roger pen, is there? Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/3670-rondo2-unboxed/#findComment-22501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted June 29, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 @Mary Featherston Doesn't the Roger Pen connect to the Sonnet via Bluetooth?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted June 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 No, @Jewel - it connects to your phone or tablet or whatever via Bluetooth. It connects to the Sonnet via an FM connection, which is only possible because Phonak makes a Sonnet battery cover with the tech in it. I don't think either Sonnet or Rondo have internal Bluetooth capability.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted June 29, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks for clearing that up for me @Mary Featherston Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/3670-rondo2-unboxed/#findComment-22508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 29, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 It’s complicated. The Sonnet has built in 2.4 connectivity for a Med-El proprietary device (AudioLink) which has not been released anywhere yet so the Sonnet’s built in 2.4 connectivity is still dormant. You can use Roger Pen (all Roger types of transmitters) with Rondo 2. You have 2 choices for Roger receivers. The neckloop receiver called Roger MyLink with the Rondo 2 set to MT (mix) or T (only Roger reception). Use the mini battery pack with Rondo 2 and plug a Roger X (02) receiver into it. Keep Rondo 2 on M. You will have a 50/50 mix. I agree that having 2 Artone 3 MAX neckloops is helpful on days with long audiobook listening.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 3, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 @Jewel Med-El added a statement on their FB post that the contents of the box may vary. We will have to wait until Med-El USA releases the Rondo 2 to know what exactly will be in the US kits.
