Andy Hunn Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hello all Just an enquiring question..... I like listening to music and when I'm out and about I use my iPhone and a neck loop to listen which has been good so far :-) I recently got myself an Apple watch and found out that I can use this to connect to a Bluetooth device such as speakers and headphone without the need to have my iPhone with me Now the question..... Is there a Bluetooth device to connect with the opus 2 for listening to music ? Thanks for any help or advice Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 8, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Quattro 4 from Clear Sounds- Bluetooth to neck loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 8, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 You can also use an FM system as well. You wear the transmitter around you neck similar to the Quattro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 8, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Andy, the one I got was from phonak. The receiver is a very small boot that attaches to the DAI port on the battery pack. The transmitter you wear around your neck or plugged into whatever you want to listen to. Music on your iPad, talk on phone.....I will look into which on I got. I believe the "smart link". Will try to post some pics later today.

Hi Andy, everyone in Europe uses the ARTONE 3 MAX for listening to music and phone calls - much smaller Bluetooth device than the Quattro. It connects to the implant with Telecoil.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I prefer the sound quality of the Artone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Interesting. I haven't seen this option. Of course I haven't been liking either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Curious, using Bluetooth how much quicker it drains your batteries, if at all. I don't normally use Bluetooth. Bluetooth would definitely provide better sound quality so I guess it would be a good tradeoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's actually T coil drain on the processor. BlueTooth from sound source to neckloop. Then T coil from neckloop to processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I am mainly drawing my experience from an fm system as well as AID. Don't use Bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 27, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 The telecoil does not drain the battery as much as an FM System but the FM System has better sound quality. It's a trade off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 28, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Agreed! Telecoil isn't that bad. The FM and DAI make battery life shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted January 30, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I prefer the Quattro 4. The sound quality is much better compared to the art one max 3. Plus I found that artone was more finicky to use. I used an old Quattro as well. The sound quality for that was good. Better than artone. Just my experience.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 30, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Good to hear Kara. not everyone will have the same experience so the more info people have from different viewpoints, the better to help possibly make a decision on which ones to start to try and figure out which one works best for them.
