Jabra Enhance Select 700 vs Lucid Enrich Pro

The Jabra Enhance Select 700 is a premium-priced OTC hearing aid available at $1,795, earning a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.8/5 in our lab testing. This behind-the-ear device ranks #26 of 65 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 38% of the category. In our testing, the Enhance Select 700 showed notable strengths in comfort-related metrics. Own-voice comfort scored a solid 3.7/5, measuring 1.19 points above the category average—a meaningful advantage for wearers sensitive to the sound of their own voice. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, well above the 4.54 category average, indicating reliable stability during typical wear. Speech performance presented a mixed picture. Speech in quiet scored a solid 3.1/5, sitting 0.27 points above average. However, speech in noise was a weakness at 1.0/5, falling 0.48 points below the category average—an important consideration if challenging listening environments are a priority. Music streaming scored 2.5/5, which is above the category average by 0.58 points but only mixed in absolute terms. At this price point, several alternatives delivered stronger overall performance in our testing, including the Lucid Tala (4.61/5) and Audicus Omni 2 (4.59/5). The Jabra Enhance Select 300 and Lucid Engage also achieved higher scores at lower prices. The Enhance Select 700 may suit those prioritizing own-voice comfort and feedback stability over speech-in-noise performance, but shoppers should weigh these trade-offs carefully given the premium pricing.

The Lucid Enrich Pro is a budget-priced OTC hearing aid available for $200, earning a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.7/5 in our lab testing. This visible-in-ear style device ranks #31 of 65 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 46% of its category. The Enrich Pro's standout strength is speech understanding in quiet environments, scoring 3.8/5—nearly a full point above the OTC category average. This solid performance in everyday conversation settings is notable for a device at this price point. Speech in noise measures 1.7/5, which is above the category average but low in absolute terms, indicating limited benefit in challenging acoustic environments like restaurants or group gatherings. Feedback handling is strong at 4.0/5, though slightly below the category average of 4.54/5. Own-voice comfort scores 2.0/5, falling below average and suggesting some users may notice their own voice sounds unnatural. Music streaming is not supported on this device, scoring 0.0/5. The Enrich Pro uses disposable batteries rather than rechargeables. This budget OTC option is best suited for individuals primarily seeking help with face-to-face conversations in quieter settings who don't require streaming capabilities. Buyers prioritizing music streaming or challenging noise environments may want to consider alternatives like the higher-scoring Elehear Beyond or Apple AirPods Pro 2 in this price range.
