Read full reviewI 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.

Build Quality
Quality is fantastic when it comes to Jabra hearing aids as they share technology from GN Resound. Select 300 have a solid ingress rating of IP68 and the portable charging case will have no problems handling daily use.
Rexton Reach T80 have an impressive build quality, featuring a top-of-the-line IP68 ingress rating. They also come with a robust portable charging case.
Battery
Jabra have really stepped up their game with a 30 hour battery life, ensuring you get through the day even with streaming. The case also holds enough power for 3 addition charges which is plenty for a weekend excursion.
Reach offer an impressive 39 hours of use per charge, which is plenty to get you through the day. Recharging takes 3 to 4 hours, which is longer than some other models, but this isn't a significant drawback given their exceptional battery life.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth was straightforward and reliable, working seamlessly without any issues. While the streamed audio quality has improved, it needs work before I'd consider it hi-fidelity.
Rexton Reach are Bluetooth compatible with both iOS and Android devices, allowing for audio streaming and hands-free calling.
App Features
The Jabra Enhance App mirrors the useful features available in Resounds medical hearing aid app. I found it to offer plenty of options to personalize audio quality beyond the custom programming.
The Rexton app stands out with its user-friendly interface and modern, appealing design. It includes practical features like the ability to control the focus of your hearing aids and a mask mode to enhance speech clarity.
Comfort
I found 300 very comfortable given their smaller lightweight design. The button also has an improved ridge for easier use compared to previous generations.
I found Rexton Reach R-Li T80 to be very comfortable thanks to their ergonomic shape and earwire design. Your hearing care provider should ensure they are fitted for optimal comfort and hearing benefit.
Design
Jabra has done a nice job redesigning prescription technology for the direct-to-consumer market. Select 300 is sleek, with a range of stylish colors, and sat discretely behind my ear.
Rexton Reach features a modern, sleek design and are available in a variety of colors, from discreet to bold.
Value
Jabra Enhance Select 300 has a value score of 3.9/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
Rexton Reach R-Li T80 at Costco has a value score of 4.3/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
Handling
300 are easy to use, though receiver-in-canal devices might take a bit of practice. Pro support can assist, and the easy charging case makes on-the-go charging a breeze.
I did not run into any issues while using these hearing aids. They are very easy to use once set up by your hearing care provider. First-time users may need some practice to get accustomed to inserting the receiver-in-ear style properly.
Pro Support
Jabra has arguably the best pro support offering among OTC devices, providing telehealth with hearing care providers, remote programming, and tech support.
You should receive quality hearing care and support from your provider. The Rexton App should also enhance your experience.
