Summary
In the initial fit condition with open domes, the Lucid Engage delivered well above average speech in quiet performance (4.40/5) and above average speech in noise (2.30/5). Own-voice comfort was excellent at 4.50/5, benefiting from the open coupling which minimizes occlusion effects. However, feedback handling measured well below average at 2.60/5, and music streaming scored 2.20/5. The open dome configuration prioritizes natural sound quality and comfort, making it suitable for users who prefer minimal ear occlusion during initial use.
Moving to the tuned fit condition with closed domes, speech performance improved modestly with speech in quiet reaching 4.50/5 and speech in noise increasing to 2.70/5. The more occluding coupling helped meet prescriptive targets but reduced own-voice comfort to 3.60/5—still above average for the category. Feedback handling remained at 2.60/5, and music streaming showed slight improvement at 2.40/5. The overall fit score increased marginally by 0.03 points, suggesting the initial open dome configuration already provided competitive performance.
