In the initial fit condition using tulip domes, the Elehear Beyond delivered well above average speech in quiet performance (4.30/5) with minimal setup required. Speech in noise measured above the category average at 1.60/5. Own voice comfort scored slightly above average, and music streaming quality was notably strong at 3.80/5. The open tulip dome coupling provides natural sound quality while maintaining good audibility. The overall initial fit score of 3.24/5 indicates solid out-of-box performance that should satisfy most users without professional adjustment.
The tuned fit condition retained the same tulip dome coupling, resulting in minimal performance changes from the initial fit. Speech in quiet remained strong at 4.30/5, while speech in noise showed a slight improvement to 1.70/5. Music streaming and own voice comfort held steady. The fit score improved marginally by 0.03 points to 3.27/5, suggesting the Elehear Beyond's initial configuration is already well-optimized and additional tuning yields limited gains for the standard test profile.
