The Murderbot series is excellent, too.

Seems like a holding page for now though!
This does seem to let me enable voice isolation though, which seems to work very well.
In terms of size - I don’t know what they were thinking. I’m considering doing a 3D scan of the charger shape and trying to make my own. I’m sure every customer will compare it to the AirPod case. It’s small enough to throw in my laptop bag, but I won’t be keeping it in my jeans pocket anytime soon.
I also travel a lot with work. So far, the estimate of 20 hours battery seems genuine - but you’re right, the charger is not small. What I didn’t know though, is that the charger holds three full charges worth of capacity. Meaning it doesn’t need to be plugged in for three nights in a row.
Due to my level of loss (80db), I need the custom mold option. This seems to be primarily to reduce feedback. I’m swapping between the custom mold and the standard tip to see which is best for my use case.
So far though, I’m impressed.
Rather than noise cancelling headphones, I’d be happy with an audio recording that has my loss applied to it. Anything to demonstrate what it’s like would help awareness and understanding.
Interestingly, they work well for the realtime audio adjustments for music - but sadly not well enough for external speech.
I will keep trying them with every new software and hardware release though!
During a call, swipe down for the control centre. You’ll see an option at the very top to adjust the audio options. Mic input is just there.
I tried the Starkey ITC ones a couple of weeks ago, but found the performance in noisy environments to be sub-par.
The Oticon Zeals seem good so far, but it has only been a few days. One thing they seem very strong at is the Bluetooth connectivity.
Thanks to recent iOS changes, I can use the mic in the Oticons or the iPhone for calls - and I’m tempted to try a DJI mic on my lapel as the mic. Although, so far during testing it seems that the Oticon mic might actually be good for phone calls.
I'm curious to see how easy this would be on Android and to have an auto updating QR code widget on my home screen.
The UI appears to be top notch, too.
