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.

Speech in quiet environments scores a solid 3.0/5, sitting 0.21 points above the category average. However, speech in noise scores 1.9/5—above the category average by 0.40 points, but still low in absolute terms.

The Zepp Clarity Omni is best suited for budget-conscious buyers who want reliable streaming audio and stable feedback performance, with adequate speech understanding in quieter settings. Those needing stronger speech-in-noise performance may want to explore alternatives like the higher-scoring Elehear Beyond in this price range.
