In our testing, the Beyond Pro demonstrates notable strengths in music streaming, scoring 3.8/5—a solid result that sits 1.88 points above the category average. This makes it one of the stronger options for users who prioritize audio entertainment alongside speech clarity. Speech performance is also above average, with speech in quiet scoring 3.3/5 (+0.46 vs category) and speech in noise at 2.5/5 (+1.00 vs category). While the speech-in-noise score is above the category average, it remains mixed in absolute terms at 2.5/5. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5. The primary trade-off is own-voice comfort, which scores 1.2/5—a low result that falls 1.31 points below the category average. Users who are sensitive to how their own voice sounds may find this noticeable. The Beyond Pro is best suited for OTC shoppers who want strong streaming quality and solid speech performance without professional fitting. It competes in a price range that includes higher-scoring options like the Yeasound RIC800 and Sony CRE-E10, so prospective buyers may want to compare based on their priorities. Features include rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free capability.

The Jabra Enhance Plus is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid ($799) that earns a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.8/5 in our lab testing, ranking #28 of 65 devices in the OTC category. This visible-in-ear device delivers strong speech-in-quiet performance, scoring 4.2/5—a full 1.36 points above the category average. Music streaming is another highlight at 3.8/5, nearly 1.9 points above average, making it a solid choice for users who value audio quality beyond speech. Speech-in-noise performance scores 2.1/5, which is above the category average by 0.62 points but remains mixed in absolute terms for challenging listening environments. The most significant limitation is own-voice comfort, scoring just 0.3/5—well below the category average of 2.51/5. Users sensitive to how their own voice sounds while wearing hearing aids should consider this trade-off carefully. Feedback handling is excellent at 4.7/5, meaning wearers can expect stable performance without whistling or squealing. The Jabra Enhance Plus is best suited for users who prioritize clear speech in quieter settings and enjoy streaming music or calls to their iPhone. Those frequently in noisy environments or particularly bothered by occlusion effects may want to explore alternatives. Several competitors in the same price range achieve higher overall scores, including the Sony CRE-E10 and Lexie B2 Plus.
