Quick Verdict
AI summarizedSummarized with AI assistance from our human-researched product information, in-lab testing, objective sound measurements, and expert ratings.
Both are Costco-exclusive RICs at similar pricing, but the real split is performance in noise: Rexton Reach measured well ahead of the Jabra Enhance Pro 20 (2.4/5 vs 1.3/5) and posts a slightly higher overall expert score, while the Jabra counters with ReSound's directional tech and the only custom in-ear options in this pair.
Enhance Pro 20
Choose the Jabra Enhance Pro 20 if you want ReSound's 360 All-Around directional system and the option of custom in-the-ear models, and speech-in-quiet clarity matters more to you than top-tier noise performance.
Reach
Choose the Rexton Reach if speech-in-noise performance is your priority — it scores 2.4/5 versus 1.3/5 for the Enhance Pro 20 — and you want longer battery life with a slightly stronger app-features rating.

DirectionalityDirectionalityDepending on the types and number of microphones a hearing aid has, the hearing aid may be able to boost sounds from specific directions (by reducing sounds from other directions). This can be helpful to focus on a speaker directly in front of the hearing aid user, as well as to give the user information about where different sounds are coming from.
Front FocusFront FocusA high resolution binaural beamformer directional microphone program.Synchronized SoftSwitching™Synchronized SoftSwitching™SoftSwitching (synchronized between ears) uses sound level and speech detection algorithms to decide when directionality is likely to be advantageous in a certain listening environment. It also offers the same four selections of MultiScope beamwidth settings: the default AutoScope, Narrow, Medium and Wide. The SoftSwitching mode differs from MultiScope Adaptive Directionality in that it uses slower transitions between directional settings and the omnidirectional setting, which is sometimes more comfortable and preferable among certain hearing aid users.

Bottom Line
AI summarizedThe Verdict
Neither of these hits a high absolute score for hearing in noise — the Enhance Pro 20's 1.3/5 sits below the sitewide average and even Reach's 2.4/5 is only middling in absolute terms — so this comparison is really about which secondary strengths matter more to you.
If noise performance, battery life, and a slightly stronger app are the priority, Rexton Reach is the stronger overall pick, ranking #6 of 35 tested prescription aids compared to the Jabra's #16 of 35.
Which is right for you?
If you specifically want a custom in-the-ear or completely-in-canal form factor, or you value ReSound's 360 All-Around directional processing and Auracast broadcast reception, the Jabra Enhance Pro 20 still has a case — just go in expecting it to trail on raw noise performance.
What to ask at your fitting
AI summarizedAsk your fitter to run REM on both
The Enhance Pro 20's biggest lab gain came from professional tuning (0.7 to 1.3/5 in noise), so make sure real-ear measurement is part of your fitting regardless of which you choose.
Prioritize a noise demo if that's your struggle
Given Reach's 2.4/5 versus the Enhance Pro 20's 1.3/5 in noise, ask to trial both in a simulated restaurant or group setting before committing.
Compare the custom-fit options if you want an ITE
Only the Enhance Pro 20 line offers custom in-the-ear, in-the-canal, and completely-in-canal models at Costco, so ask about those if a RIC isn't your preferred form factor.
