We have taken previous RS tours, but I don't remember if the listening devices are enabled for Bluetooth headphones or not. Does anyone know?

Our 3 RS tours including last year used old fashioned headphone 3.5mm jacks, so I'm curious to hear responses as we now have hearing aids in our traveling party.

Someone on that thread talks about Airfly working on May tour. I know one of our tour members used that on our Village Italy tour last Oct. Unfortunately, still wishing for an adapter that works with my hearing aids.

The ones that we used on our Best of Ireland tour last month did not have bluetooth. They had a 3.5 mm jack.

My AirFly works with my hearing aids (Phonak). Prior to getting HA, I used the AirFly with my Apple AirPods on 2 RS tours in June and October 2023
