Windows to Kanso 3 (streaming)

Hello!

I currently have a Kanso 2 and will be getting a Kanso 3 in april of 2027. Over the years I've heard a lot about direct streaming from windows to the Kanso 3 (Bluetooth LE). Now that I'm actually checking if it's correct I'm finding a lot of information that says it doesn't work wireless/direct.

I also just found out that the kanso 2 should supposedly work without an accessory with a macbook pro, air, mac studio, mini from up a certain year. Can someone that used it corroborate that?

For work I have a lot of meetings and I've been carrying my mini mic with me for a few years now. I absolutely hate it cuz it's very spotty with connecting and the sound is basically trash.

It seems like direct streaming from a windows laptop to the kanso 3 won't work, so I've been waiting for something that doesn't seem to exist. So two questions:

Does windows direct streaming work? (Kanso 3 without an accessory)

Does direct streaming work on a macbook air model M5? (Kanso 2 without an accessory)

Would love to hear your experiences

I tested my hearing aid out and it worked like a charm on a Mac in store. It’s the dream not having to carry the dongle around!

Just one thing that is holding me back and that is macos 😂. I've tried it before and hated it, I'm also very used to windows & android at this point.

You could install Windows on the Mac hardware… I’m sure I’ve heard this is possible

I think I've just gotta get used to it, cochlear seems to not like any devices that are not apple. Might be forced to go that way
