What’s the Best System to Use for Multi-User Hearing Assist Support in a Big Venue?

⚠️ Why not just use Classic Bluetooth?
Classic Bluetooth can only connect one (sometimes two) headphones to a single device. It cannot support multiple users at the same time. That’s why we recommend one of the three solutions below, which are designed for true multi-user listening.

You have three possible approaches:

1. Auracast Approach

Examples: Audikast 4HA, Voyager, Oasis Aura

• Check compatible hearing aids & headphones: Hearing Aids Compatibility Checker

• Pros: Future-proof, users can bring their own Auracast devices in the future.

• Cons: Limited device support today; non-tech-savvy users may need help connecting.

• Add-on Auracast Receivers to use with: Different form factor receivers are here

2. Classic Wireless Approach

Examples: Audiplex MX, Quartet 2, Harmony Systems

• Classic Wireless Group Listening Systems

• Pros: Unlimited receivers can be added, simple to use (“switch on and listen”), no setup needed.

• Cons: Not compatible with future Auracast-enabled devices nor classic Bluetooth devices.

• Add-on wireless receivers to use with: Buy add-ons from the product link

3. Hybrid Solution – AuraPlex MX

• Pros: Combines both worlds – future-proof Auracast broadcast plus simple receiver use. Attendees with compatible devices can connect directly, while others just use the easy plug-and-listen receivers.

• Add-on Auracast Receivers to use with: Different form factor receivers are here
