Comparing Oticon’s More 1 vs Intent 1

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Intent. I guess as you will have to chance to try it out some more, especially in noisy places, I’d like to know if you notice whether it’s smart enough to guess your intent (meaning the 4D Sensor experience).

In general, it seems like if you don’t move your head, it’s supposed to put more focus on the speech in the front. If you move it a little, you get the default noise reduction with wherever speeches are going on. If you bob your head regularly (like maybe up and down), it signifies maybe walking or keeping trying to get focus on speeches from all around you, then it gives more equal speech priority to your whole 360 degrees sound field.

That’s the general idea, but overall, it’s mainly whether you feel that there’s more “dynamic” in terms of speech clarity when and where you want to focus on whatever speech(es) going on at the time, as opposed to maybe a more “static” type of speech clarity from the More that might be kind of flat (which would be the equivalent of you moving your head a little bit (not still nor too much movement) in the Intent.

I’m just trying to gauge whether the 4D Sensor has a significant and positive enough effect in terms of giving you speech clarity on what you seem to want to focus on. Thanks.
