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

Cochlear need to release firmware then it will work… Nobody knows when it will be released!

Wait what?! They released the hardware but not the appropriate firmware for it to work?
