It depends on whether you'll use Auracast broadcast audio, which the Enhance Pro 30 supports and the Reach does not. If that feature doesn't matter to you, the Reach's lower price and wider adjustment-band range make it the better value.

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 prescription RICs, so the real choice is between the Enhance Pro 30's Auracast broadcast support and the Reach's wider adjustment-band range for around $100 less.
Enhance Pro 30
Choose the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 if you want Auracast broadcast audio support and don't mind paying roughly $100 more for it, since both devices share MFi hands-free calling, Android streaming, and telecoil.
Reach
Choose the Rexton Reach if you want the lower-cost option with more fine-tuning range at the fitting, since both devices share MFi hands-free calling, Android streaming, and telecoil.
What actually separates them
AI summarizedAdjustment range for fine-tuning
SpecThe Reach offers more adjustment bands than the Enhance Pro 30, giving the fitting professional finer control to shape the frequency response during follow-up visits.
Auracast broadcast audio
SpecThe Enhance Pro 30 adds Bluetooth Auracast support, letting it pick up compatible public broadcast streams (like at an airport or venue) that the Reach cannot receive; this is separate from phone calling, which both handle via MFi.
Price
PriceThe Reach costs about $100 less per pair than the Enhance Pro 30, a modest but real gap given both sell in the same price tier.
User satisfaction so far
Expert ratingThe Enhance Pro 30 carries a 4.0/5 average from 5 owners versus 3.3/5 from 4 owners for the Reach, though both sample sizes are small enough that neither figure should be leaned on heavily.

I found the original Rexton Reach R-Li T comfortable, with clear speech and easy app controls. Long battery life adds to its appeal, although streamed music lacked bass. Costco now lists the newer Reach R Plus; this review and its lab results cover the original model.

Bottom Line
AI summarizedThe Verdict
Neither price nor performance gap here is large: the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 and Rexton Reach sit close together, and picking between them comes down to whether Auracast broadcast audio is worth roughly $100 to you, or whether you'd rather have more adjustment headroom for fitting sessions at that lower price.
Both are sold only through Costco Hearing Centers, so your shopping decision is really about the device itself, not where to buy it.
Which is right for you?
If you travel through venues that broadcast Auracast audio, the Enhance Pro 30 is the more future-facing pick; if you'd rather bank the savings and give your fitter more room to dial in your prescription over time, the Reach is the sounder value.
What to ask at your fitting
AI summarizedAsk about Auracast venues near you
If broadcast listening at public venues matters to you, confirm with your fitter that the Enhance Pro 30's Auracast support has actual compatible venues in your area before paying the premium for it.
Discuss fine-tuning needs at fitting
If you expect to need several follow-up adjustments, ask your fitter whether the Reach's wider adjustment-band range will make those visits more precise for your specific loss.
Compare the $100 gap against your budget
With only about $100 separating the pair prices, decide whether Auracast is worth that difference to you rather than treating price as the deciding factor.
