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.
