Oticon Real 1 vs Philips Hearlink 9040 (huge price difference)

Speaking of telecoil, yesterday, I was comparing telecoil (using the Bellman & Symfon High Powered Neck Loop, $80) to the Philips AudioClip ($260) with my 9040’s. Also plugged the loop into my iPad. The AudioClip had much deeper bass, but the neck loop performance was totally acceptable…would not have a problem using it for Zoom meetings. I checked the loop out from my university library, but may buy one anyway as my church does not have telecoil installed. They do have assistive listening devices with plug in speakers that clip over the ears…I could just plug the loop into the receiver. I know a number of members that have HAs and it would be nice to have the neck loops on hand for those that can use them.
