I’m looking to get the Widex SmartRIC 440. I loaded the app and will see an audi today about the Widex (have Philips now). When I run the app in the demo mode I see the universal mode selected by default, next is Puresound, music, MT, zen A, B, C, tv play and directional focus. The way I understand this is that Puresound is a separate mode of running where the delay is held to 0.5 msec, otherwise it’s lower than other HA but not that low and varies by frequency. Puresound sounded different and better to me when I demo’d the Widex a week or so ago but my hi freq loses go beyond it’s recommended range. But it sounded really good to me otherwise. If I select music then puresound and universal are no longer lit up. So is music using universal or puresound??? Does it take the last one of those selected? I’m not sure about that.
I had a quote of $6900. last week for the 440 and this audi said it was $4500. Can this be right or maybe they misquoted me for the 220 instead? Both audi’s take my insurance benefit of $3K and I am hoping that $4500. was real. I can’t spending $3900. more than my $3K benefit but $1500. more seems like a bargain. Do either of these prices sound realistic to you? I really like how the SmartRIC sounded and fitted and want it mainly for my guitar playing. My Philips is pretty bad even with my DIY modes. Just can’t find a pleasant setting other than off which is very muted to me.
