Jabra Enhance Plus Expert Review

The Jabra Enhance Plus is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid ($799) that earned a B grade in HearAdvisor's lab testing, ranking in the top 30% of the OTC hearing aid category. This visible-in-ear device delivers notably strong speech performance but comes with a significant trade-off in own-voice comfort.

In our lab testing, the Enhance Plus demonstrated its core strength: speech clarity. Speech in quiet measured 1.48 points above the category average, and speech in noise scored 1.30 points above average—making it a standout performer for understanding conversation. Music streaming quality also tested above average, and feedback handling was solid throughout testing.

The major drawback is own-voice occlusion. At 2.21 points below the category average, users may notice their own voice sounds boomy or hollow—a common issue with closed-dome fittings that this device couldn't overcome. This is worth serious consideration for anyone sensitive to how their own speech sounds.

At its price point, the Enhance Plus faces stiff competition. The Sony CRE-E10 and Elehear Beyond Pro both scored significantly higher in the same price range. Budget-conscious shoppers should also note that the Apple AirPods Pro 2 offers similar overall sound performance at $249. The Jabra Enhance Plus is best suited for users who prioritize speech understanding over own-voice comfort and want iPhone streaming with hands-free capability in a rechargeable package.
