Jabra Enhance Select 700 vs Zepp Clarity One

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 shows notable strengths in own-voice comfort, scoring 3.7/5—a solid result that sits 1.19 points above the category average. This makes it a comfortable choice for users sensitive to the "hollow" sound of their own voice that some hearing aids produce. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, meaning users can expect stable performance without whistling during typical daily activities. Speech clarity in quiet environments is solid at 3.1/5, coming in 0.27 points above the category average. However, speech understanding in noisy settings is a weakness, scoring just 1.0/5—falling 0.48 points below the category average. Users who frequently encounter restaurants, group gatherings, or other challenging listening environments may find this limitation significant. Music streaming quality is mixed at 2.5/5, though still 0.58 points above the category average. At this price point, buyers should note that several same-priced alternatives deliver stronger overall performance, including the Lucid Tala (4.63/5) and Audicus Omni 2 (4.61/5). The Enhance Select 700 is best suited for users who prioritize own-voice comfort and feedback-free wear over speech-in-noise performance, and who value Jabra's established brand and support ecosystem.

The Zepp Clarity One is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid with an invisible-in-ear design, priced at $699. In HearAdvisor's lab testing, it earned a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.9/5, ranking #23 among 65 OTC hearing aids tested—placing it in the top 34% of its category. This device demonstrates notable strengths in specific areas of sound performance. Speech clarity in quiet environments scores a solid 3.7/5, coming in 0.95 points above the category average. Own-voice comfort is another highlight at 3.8/5, exceeding the category average by 1.29 points—a meaningful advantage for users sensitive to how their own voice sounds while wearing hearing aids. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, among the best we've measured. However, the Zepp Clarity One shows limitations in other areas. Speech understanding in noisy environments scores 1.4/5, slightly below the category average and low in absolute terms. Music streaming capability is notably absent, scoring 0.0/5—well below the already modest category average of 1.92/5. Users who prioritize phone audio streaming should consider this significant limitation. The Zepp Clarity One may suit consumers who primarily need hearing support in quieter settings like one-on-one conversations at home, and who value discreet, in-ear styling with reliable feedback control. Those frequently navigating noisy environments or wanting to stream music and calls should explore alternatives.
