Summary
In the initial fit condition using a power dome with slits, the Zepp Clarity Pixie delivered above-average speech intelligibility in both quiet and noisy environments. The semi-open coupling helps preserve some natural sound quality but contributes to the device's below-average own-voice score of 1.50/5, indicating noticeable occlusion effects. Feedback handling measured at 4.30/5, slightly under the category average. Music streaming was not available for evaluation. The overall initial fit score of 2.77/5 ranked above average for the category, driven primarily by the strong speech performance metrics.
The tuned fit condition retained identical coupling (power dome with slits) and produced no measurable change in performance scores. Speech in quiet and speech in noise remained strong at 4.00/5 and 2.30/5 respectively. The unchanged own-voice score of 1.50/5 suggests the occlusion characteristics are inherent to the device's design and coupling options. This lack of improvement between initial and tuned conditions indicates the Pixie's out-of-box performance represents its full capability, with limited room for optimization through professional adjustment.
