Quick Verdict
AI summarizedSummarized with AI assistance from our human-researched product information, in-lab testing, objective sound measurements, and expert ratings.
The real split here isn't price — it's barely $100 apart — but care model and clinical range: the Pro 30 is a professionally fitted prescription device with finer adjustment and severe-loss coverage, while the Select 700 is a self-fit OTC device for mild-to-moderate loss built around remote support.
Enhance Pro 30
Choose the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 if you want a hearing professional fitting you with finer adjustment (17 bands vs. 12), a telecoil for looped venues and phone compatibility, support for severe hearing loss, and a lower price by roughly $100.
Enhance Select 700
Choose the Jabra Enhance Select 700 if you have mild-to-moderate loss, want to manage fitting and follow-up remotely rather than through in-person visits, and don't need a telecoil.
What actually separates them
AI summarizedCare model: in-person vs. remote
SpecThe Enhance Pro 30 is a prescription device fitted and adjusted by a hearing professional in person, while the Enhance Select 700 is an OTC device built around remote audiology support — a real difference in how you interact with a provider, not a quality gap.
Adjustment precision
SpecThe Pro 30 gives a fitting professional 17 adjustment bands to fine-tune versus 12 on the Select 700, so it can be dialed in more precisely to your audiogram.
Hearing loss range and telecoil
SpecThe Pro 30 covers mild through severe loss and includes a telecoil for phone and induction-loop compatibility; the Select 700 is rated only for mild-to-moderate loss and has no telecoil.
Price
PriceThe Pro 30 runs about $100 less per pair than the Select 700, a modest but real gap given they're priced within $100 of each other.

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.

It also offers the same four selections of MultiScope beamwidth settings: the default AutoScope, Narrow, Medium and Wide.

Bottom Line
AI summarizedThe Verdict
These are two current Jabra RIC devices priced within $100 of each other, so the decision comes down to how you want to be fitted and how much hearing loss you have, not cost.
If you have significant loss, want a telecoil, or prefer an in-person professional dialing in 17 adjustment bands, the Pro 30 is the more capable and slightly cheaper choice.
Which is right for you?
If your loss is mild-to-moderate and you'd rather handle fitting and follow-up remotely without clinic visits, the Select 700 fits that preference — just know you're getting fewer adjustment bands and no telecoil for the modest premium.
Before you buy
AI summarizedConfirm your hearing loss severity
The Select 700 is only rated for mild-to-moderate loss, so if your audiogram shows severe loss the Pro 30 is the one that applies to you.
Ask about telecoil needs
If you rely on looped venues, assistive listening systems, or telecoil-based phone compatibility, only the Pro 30 supports it.
Decide how you want fitting handled
The Pro 30 requires an in-person professional fitting while the Select 700 is self-fit with remote audiology support — pick based on which model fits how you want to interact with a provider.
