Volusiano, bobbydigital16,
Good morning and thanks for the feedback (pardon the pun).
Regarding the telecoil, using it would not meet my needs unfortunately. Hearing the full spectrum of music is very important to me. So much so that my Audi did not add a “T” (telecoil) program to the Widex software, even after we discussed it.
Last night, I used my HAs only (no headphones) to watch a couple of YouTube videos on drum software sound libraries and a voice recording. The drums sounded thin and tinny. Drums are important for creating most music.
The voice recording sound through my HAs sounded a bit thin, but more importantly, the reviewer used a visual spectrum analyzer where you could see that a lot of the sound came from frequencies below 500 hz. And my HAs were not reproducing this.
Regarding trying out the Oticon More, that’s my short term goal. Especially after reading your posts and reading this Widex Evoke and Opticon Opn S1 Comparison. He demo’d both the Widex and Oticon HAs. And ultimately chose the Oticons.
One more thing about the review. The reviewer has a hearing problem and is blind. Check out his “About Me” page. VERY impressive.
Regarding the review, at 7908 words it is the longest, most detailed and honest review I’ve ever read on ANY product. Since I have the Widex Evoke and am looking at the Oticon More (the S1 Pro is the just-previous model to the More), the review is almost laser focused on my needs. He found issues with his Widex demos that I’ve encountered with mine (like wind noise). If you have the time and patience, it’s a must-read for anyone interested in Widex or Oticon HAs.
Since I’m heavily into music and headphones are critical to me, it’s critical that I resolve my current HA issues. Right now, I’m waiting for a call back from a local Audi who specializes in Oticons (and Starkeys). If they prove out during a demo, I’ll buy them immediately
Again, thanks for the feedback.
Dan.
