The Oticon Dual Connect W is the same as the Oticon Dual Connect XW, except for features that add performance and convenience to the XW. The Connect W lacks the Spatial Surround, it has a bandwidth of 8KHz instead of 10 from the XW, there is no My Voice feature or the Life Learning. Besides that everything else is there.
When it comes to performance the differences between these two models are not that significant, but when it comes to the convenient features like the My Voice and Life Learning, then there is a huge difference between the models that may be worth the difference in price.
