Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester, Reviewed (USA Today), published a hands-on review of the exact Select 700; it calls them among the simplest OTC aids tested, praising fast charging, all-device Bluetooth streaming, and comfort, while flagging the $1,995 price as the main drawback. Note: the article is an update to Reviewed's earlier Select 500 review, so the 700-specific hands-on testing is limited. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Simple to set up and use yet still customizable per ear; Great battery life with fast charging (case holds extra charges); Bluetooth streaming works across both Android and iOS.
Flagged: High $1,995 price versus cheaper OTC competitors like the Sony CRE-E10; Requires a paired smartphone; not recommended without a smart device.
One whitelisted hands-on review (Reviewed/USA Today, tested over a week) calls the Beyond Pro a strong sub-$600 OTC value with crisp phone calls, a verified ~20-hour battery, and a rich app with tinnitus and translation features, but flags oversized behind-ear shells, IPX5-only water resistance, and a faint constant static. Hearing-lab sites were excluded as non-whitelisted. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Strong value for a sub-$600 OTC hearing aid; Clear phone-call and streaming audio with effective AI noise reduction; Battery life verified at roughly 20 hours per charge (about 100 hours with the case).
Flagged: Behind-ear shells are large, bigger than most competing models; Only IPX5-rated, so must be kept dry (no rain or heavy sweat); A faint static hum is present at all times.
