Jabra Enhance Select 700 Review
The short version
The Jabra Enhance Select 700 is Jabra Enhance's flagship self-fitting OTC hearing aid, and two independent sources agree it performs well: an independent 26-brand university lab study found it hit research-based amplification targets for mild-to-moderate hearing loss, and HearAdvisor's own lab testing separately gives it a B grade (SoundScore 3.91/5, ranked #16 of 61 OTC devices tested — top 25% of the category). At $1,995 a pair, it sits at the top of our Tier 1 lineup, backed by a 100-day trial and a 3-year warranty with loss/damage protection.
What independent testing actually found
Professional assessment: two separate professional sources point the same direction on sound performance, without needing to be reconciled or picked between:
- An independent university lab study covering 26 hearing-aid brands found the Select 700 hit research-based amplification targets for mild-to-moderate hearing loss.
- HearAdvisor's own lab testing gives it a B letter grade, a SoundScore of 3.91 out of 5, and a rank of #16 out of 61 OTC devices tested — placing it in the top 25% of the category (HearAdvisor).
That said, real-world feedback isn't uniformly glowing. Known complaints include fit discomfort — this is a self-fit device, not custom-molded to the ear — and scattered reports of programming or connectivity issues with the companion app.
Consumer sentiment: not yet confirmed at the model-specific level, despite two research passes. Jabra Enhance's own product page displays a prominent "4.5 out of 5 (5,313 reviews)" badge, but on inspection that's an explicitly site/service-wide score ("Reviews are from customers helped by our licensed Audiology Team within 30 days of purchase"), not labeled as Select-700-specific, so we're not using it as this model's figure. HearingTracker's dedicated Select 700 page independently shows 0 reviews as of this run. We also tried Best Buy's two Select 700 listings directly, across two separate research passes - both attempts failed to load by every method available to us (see "What we couldn't confirm" below). Treat the lab results above as the strongest verified signal on quality here, not a stand-in for large-scale consumer sentiment.
Trial period and warranty
Jabra Enhance backs the Select 700 with a 100-day risk-free trial, and return shipping is covered under that trial guarantee. The warranty is a 3-year term with loss and damage protection, plus what Jabra calls "Lifetime Support" — ongoing customer service for the device's supported lifetime, which the company describes as typically five years or more (jabraenhance.com).
Battery: a 3-hour full charge gives roughly 24 hours of listening. A 1-hour top-up charge gives about 12 hours, and even a 10-minute charge gives roughly 2 hours — useful if you're rushing out the door (jabraenhance.com).
Water and dust resistance: an IP68 rating, confirmed specifically for this model - not just a brand-wide claim - by a Hearing Review article on the Select 700's launch, HearingTracker's Select 700 page, and a UnitedHealthcare Hearing retail listing, all naming the Select 700 by name (Hearing Review, HearingTracker).
Single-ear purchase isn't offered: Jabra Enhance sells and replaces hearing aids only as pairs. Its own FAQ states "most people with hearing loss see the best outcome when two hearing aids are used instead of one - that's why we only sell hearing aids by the pair," and that single-sided hearing loss isn't treated by its solutions; customers wanting single-ear use are directed to an in-person clinic instead (Jabra Enhance).
Mid-trial model exchanges are supported: within the 100-day trial, you can return your current model and separately purchase a different Jabra Enhance model rather than just getting a refund. The brand's own FAQ gives this as a worked example - upgrading from a Select 500 to a Select 700 mid-trial - handled by contacting support to process the return, then purchasing the new model separately (a return-then-repurchase process, not a single automatic swap) (jabraenhance.com).
Telecoil: no built-in telecoil. HearingTracker's Select 700 review lists "no t-coil" as a drawback; a telecoil connection is possible only indirectly via Jabra Enhance's optional MultiMic accessory, which has its own built-in telecoil - the hearing aids themselves don't.
Tinnitus support is a genuine open question rather than a confirmed feature: Jabra Enhance's own product page and a Hearing Review launch article both list a "Free tinnitus sound generator app and tinnitus management resources" as included with the Select 700. But NCOA's brand-wide review states plainly that "Jabra Enhance hearing aids do not have specific tinnitus-relief features," adding only that improved sound audibility "may mask the ringing known as tinnitus." We're presenting both rather than picking a side - the brand's own claim is model-specific and detailed, but an independent reviewer states the opposite for the product line generally, and we can't resolve that gap ourselves.
The HSA/FSA math
At $1,995 for the pair, your effective out-of-pocket cost drops meaningfully if you're paying with pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars, depending on your marginal tax bracket:
| Tax bracket | Effective cost after HSA/FSA savings |
|---|---|
| 12% | $1,756 |
| 22% | $1,556 |
| 32% | $1,357 |
This is arithmetic, not tax advice — your actual savings depend on your specific plan and eligible-expense rules. Check with your plan administrator before assuming reimbursement.
Ownership and market context
Jabra Enhance is made by GN Hearing, a division of Danish company GN Store Nord (Nasdaq Copenhagen: GN.CO), which also owns the ReSound, Beltone, Interton, and Danavox hearing-aid brands (jabraenhance.com/about).
Worth knowing if you're buying for the long term: on March 16, 2026, GN Store Nord signed a definitive agreement to sell its entire Hearing business — including GN Hearing and Jabra Enhance — to Italian hearing-care company Amplifon S.p.A., in a deal valued at roughly DKK 17.0 billion (about $2.6B). The deal still requires regulatory approval and a corporate carve-out, and is expected to close by the end of 2026 (GN Store Nord press release, 2026-03-16). We're not aware of any confirmed changes to Jabra Enhance's warranty, trial, or support terms as a result — this is presented as context you'd reasonably want to know before a multi-year purchase, not a warning.
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 700 at jabraenhance.com.
What we couldn't confirm
- Consumer review volume and star rating: not confirmed across two research passes (2026-07-27, 2026-07-29). Jabra Enhance's own site-wide badge and HearingTracker's 0-review Select 700 page both fail to give a usable model-specific figure, and Best Buy's Select 700 listings - which typically carry retailer-level ratings for other models in this catalog - could not be loaded by any automated method available to us on either pass, not just "not found" once. If you have direct access to bestbuy.com/site/reviews/jabra-enhance-select-700-sand/6643780 or the Sparkling Silver listing (6643779), that's the most likely place a real number exists that we simply couldn't reach.
- One caveat on the lab score above: our research also turned up a separate HearAdvisor score for the Select 50R (Jabra Enhance's mid-tier model) that differs from this model's score, rather than one shared brand-level number. We're confident the 3.91 / B / #16-of-61 result above is specific to the Select 700, not a blanket line-wide rating — but flagging the source discrepancy for transparency.
