I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with these systems with

sure how accessible the smart pone side of things will work on the

That little cable probably has a 3.5mm femal audio plug on the one end, you
would use it if you want to use a regular 3.5mm headset with your iPhone 8
which doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone port anymore.
The earpods which came with your iPhone are Lightning Earpods, same as before,

I’ll be using this system in my own practice as a patient advocate. I can’t

Hello,
I'm a huge Audible/audio book fan and often listen at night after my wife goes

it doesn't disturb my wife but so it's also comfortable for me since I often
fall asleep listening.
I often just use my iPhone and

If you connect an optical Toslink cable to your TV’s optical output then
whatever you connect it to on the other end must also have an optical input and

I have no problem pairing the BN, but on the phone under bluetooth are a list

Not for everybody but I use a Bluetooth connected hearing aid for listening to

In my case, this is one of the numbers I use for my business that involves
