The short version
The Jabra Enhance Select 50R is the mid-tier price point in the Jabra Enhance line, at $1,195 a pair versus the flagship Select 700's $1,995. It's self-fitting, rechargeable, Bluetooth-capable, and comes with the same 100-day trial as the rest of the lineup. Rather than a clean lab-score story, this page carries two source disagreements we're deliberately not resolving for you — see below — because presenting both sides is more honest than picking one.
What independent testing actually found
Our product database describes this model as sharing the Select 700's brand-level lab result, with no data specific to the 50R itself. External research this run complicates that: HearAdvisor's site actually lists a distinct score for the Select 50R — SoundScore 3.8, letter grade B, described as "top 60% of products tested" — which is different from the separately-sourced Select 700 score (SoundScore 3.91, "#16 of 61," top 25%) (HearAdvisor, via HearingTracker's Select 50R page).
We're flagging this rather than resolving it: either the database's "shared brand-level result" framing is outdated, or the two HearAdvisor numbers reflect something other than a true model-specific test. We don't have enough to say which. Known complaints are described in our database as following the "same brand-level pattern as Select 700," which is likewise not independently confirmed for this specific model.
On consumer reviews: HearingTracker's own product page for this model currently shows zero customer reviews, with an open invitation to be the first to rate it. So there isn't yet a consumer review volume to report one way or the other.
Trial period and warranty
Jabra Enhance offers a 100-day risk-free trial with a full refund if you're unsatisfied, and return shipping is covered under that trial guarantee. The official product page confirms a 3-year warranty with loss and damage protection for this specific model — our database had flagged the warranty term as a line-wide policy not independently confirmed for the 50R, and this research run closes that gap (jabraenhance.com).
Battery life is a second flagged disagreement. The official Jabra product page for this exact model states "each 3-hour charge gives you up to 24 hours of listening" — the same figure Jabra states for the pricier Select 700. But a secondary source (HearingTracker, describing what it attributes to Jabra's own marketing) states 30 hours per charge for the 50R specifically, and Best Buy customer reviews mention real-world results around 25–27 hours. We're presenting all three figures rather than picking one: 24 hours per the model's own official product page, up to 30 hours per a secondary source's account of the manufacturer's claim, and roughly 25–27 hours per user-reported experience.
The HSA/FSA math
At $1,195 for the pair, here's the effective out-of-pocket cost using pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars, by marginal tax bracket:
| Tax bracket | Effective cost after HSA/FSA savings |
|---|---|
| 12% | $1,052 |
| 22% | $932 |
| 32% | $813 |
This is arithmetic, not tax advice — actual savings depend on your specific plan and eligible-expense rules. Check with your plan administrator before assuming reimbursement.
Ownership and market context
Same situation as the Select 700: Jabra Enhance is made by GN Hearing, a division of GN Store Nord (Nasdaq Copenhagen: GN.CO), which also owns ReSound, Beltone, Interton, and Danavox (jabraenhance.com/about). On March 16, 2026, GN Store Nord signed a definitive agreement to sell its entire Hearing business to Amplifon S.p.A. for roughly DKK 17.0 billion (about $2.6B); the deal is pending regulatory approval and a corporate carve-out, expected to close by the end of 2026 (GN Store Nord press release, 2026-03-16). No confirmed changes to warranty, trial, or support terms as a result of the pending sale.
Where to buy
We don't have a confirmed affiliate relationship with Jabra Enhance (status unknown — not found in our database or via research this run), so this is a plain link with no commission to us — we'd rather point you straight to it than make you search: View the Select 50R at jabraenhance.com.
What we couldn't confirm
- Model-specific lab score: see the flagged disagreement above — we can't confirm whether this model has its own tested result or genuinely shares the Select 700's.
- Battery life: see the flagged disagreement above — three different figures from three source types (manufacturer's own product page, a secondary source's account of the manufacturer's claim, and user reports).
- Consumer review volume: none found; HearingTracker shows zero reviews for this model as of this run.
- Single-ear replacement policy, mid-trial exchange policy, and telecoil compatibility: all marked "needs research" in our database; not independently confirmed this run.
