Bluetooth LE Audio (and Auracast in particular) looks really interesting. I can't seems to find any devices that support it yet though. No dongles to transmit BLE Audio. No headphones ot receive it. Obviously this dev kit can be used to create either of those, but it would be nice to road test together with a commercial device to see if they work well together.
If anyone finds a commercial Bluetooth LE Audio product, maybe let us know in this thread.
I'm answering my own question, but it seems that this pair of Sennheiser headphones is the only BLE Audio device around at the moment. There are some similar named products like the RS-120-II that aren't Bluetooth LE.
Whilst initially they look like some standard wireless headphones, they seem a bit niche and are marketed as "TV headphones". The idea is that the base pairs with multiple headphones so a few people can watch TV together. A good use case for Auracast, but they don't seem ideal for use as general purpose wireless headphones. If they had been, I might have been able to justify purchasing some to help with a road test. As they stand, not really.
