Jabra Enhance Select M Series Review 2026: M1 vs M2 vs M3

Jabra replaced its whole lineup in August. Here's what the three new models do, what nobody has tested, and how buying direct differs from buying on Amazon.

Bottom Line

The M Series is a well-specced premium line with real perks when you buy direct: a 100-day trial and three years of remote audiology. It has no lab score, though, and the Select 700 it replaced scored 1.0 out of 5 for speech in noise. At $1,195 to $1,995 I can't put it above the $549 RIC800 or the $599 Beyond Pro on evidence. If you want an audiologist in the room with you, ZipHearing is the route I'd look at first.

No lab score
for the M Series

Where to look: Jabra Enhance direct (100-day trial, audiology included), the Amazon M3 Aureon ($1,995) or M2 Swift ($999), both 30-day returns, or ZipHearing for a local audiologist. Prices read September 30, 2026.

One thing first: I haven't worn any Jabra aid. I've worn prescription Phonak Naída aids for over ten years and I'm not a clinician, so this review is built on Jabra's own pages and terms, HearingTracker's launch coverage, the Amazon listings and HearAdvisor's lab page for the older Select 700, all read on September 30, 2026. When they disagree, I tell you which one I went with.

1. M1 vs M2 vs M3

Jabra Enhance is replacing its existing lineup with three FDA-cleared, self-fitting, rechargeable receiver-in-ear models. HearingTracker reports the launch ends the Select 700, 300 and 50R. The figures below are Jabra's own, read on its compare page.

Source: jabraenhance.com compare page and M3 page, read September 30, 2026. Financing figures are Jabra's "as low as" offers and terms vary.

All three share the same basics: Bluetooth streaming and hands-free calls for Apple and Android, Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast, an IP68 rating, 2.12 grams per aid, and a charging case. Jabra rates the aids at 24 hours, and the case holds three more full charges, which Jabra's M3 page puts at up to 96 hours on the go.

The noise labels are Jabra's marketing, not measurements. Keep that in mind in the next section.


2. What the Lab Has Tested

I couldn't find a HearAdvisor page for the M1, M2 or M3. The lab's Jabra entries are the older Select 200, 300, 500, 700 and 50R, the Pro 20 and the Plus. HearingTracker says the M3 builds on the Select 700's feature set, including SoundScape with Auto Focus, LE Audio and TapControl. So the 700 is the closest thing to evidence, and these are the lab's own numbers for it.

Select 700 (replaced in Aug 2026)SoundScoreQuietNoiseOwn voiceMusicFeedback
Initial fit (open dome)3.8 (B)2.81.04.32.05.0
Tuned fit (tulip dome)3.93.11.03.72.55.0

Source: HearAdvisor's Select 700 page, read September 30, 2026. Its badge reads "Top 38% of OTC hearing aid."

The 700 was good on own voice (4.3) and feedback (5.0), and poor on speech in noise at 1.0, which the lab lists as a drawback. For comparison, the Beyond Pro scores 2.5 and the RIC800 2.4 in noise. Auto Focus was already on the 700, so it isn't a reason to assume the M3 fixes that.

A new model doesn't inherit its predecessor's score, and Jabra may well have improved the noise handling. But nobody has measured it, and I'm not going to repeat "best hearing in noise" as though someone had.


3. Direct vs Amazon: Not the Same Purchase

Jabra's own FAQ says aids bought from other merchants might not include audiology services and can differ on trial, warranty and loss and damage cover. The Amazon listings show it.

RatingsJabra's own 4.5/5None yet5.0 on 2 ratings

Sources: jabraenhance.com and Amazon listings B0HBT825J7 and B0HBSY43D2, read September 30, 2026. "Aureon" and "Swift" are names I saw only on Amazon.

The M2 Swift at $999 is $696 below Jabra's own $1,695 M2, but it looks like a self-fit package with no audiology, which is a large part of what the direct price buys. Jabra's M1 didn't show up on Amazon. The Amazon listings have no ratings worth leaning on yet, so the 4.5 figure on Jabra's site is the only number around, and it comes from customers Jabra's own audiology team has helped.

Amazon also still lists the discontinued Select 700 at $998. Make sure the title says M1, M2 or M3 before you order.


4. Trial, Warranty and Loss and Damage

These are Jabra's terms for aids bought direct.

The trial is 100 days from delivery. You have to start the return with Jabra support by midnight Eastern on the last day, and Jabra has to receive the items within 14 days after that. The aids have to come back in the same condition, apart from normal wear, with the cords and accessories. Jabra pays return shipping on the initial return, and the refund goes to your original payment method.

Warranty and loss and damage both run three years for purchases after August 17, 2025. The warranty covers defects and excludes misuse and accidents, and a replacement can include refurbished internal parts. Loss and damage has a $195 deductible for the hearing aids and $175 for the charger. Covered devices can be replaced only once per coverage period, and the replacement has to cover both aids in a pair.

The once-only replacement and the deductible are worth knowing before you call three years of cover a safety net.


5. Audiology: What's Included, and the Alternative

Buy direct and you get three years of remote audiology: a video orientation call, follow-ups as needed, and adjustments sent to the aids through the app. HearingTracker notes that Jabra's professionals can change things you can't, including microphone directionality, compression and advanced noise reduction, starting from the self-fit test or an audiogram you send.

That's a real benefit, and it's the main thing the M Series has over the cheaper aids I rank above it. If you want to do it in person instead, or you'd rather have a local audiologist and not a remote service, ZipHearing sells Phonak, Oticon, Signia, Starkey, Widex and ReSound aids through local providers, listed from about $2,100 to $4,900 a pair. I wrote about it in my ZipHearing review.


6. Pros and Cons

What's good

  • 100-day trial and three years of audiology, direct
  • Streaming, calls, LE Audio and Auracast on all three
  • IP68 and a small 2.12 g design
  • FDA-cleared in-app self-fitting test
  • Case holds three extra charges

What to watch

  • No lab score for any M model
  • Its predecessor scored 1.0 in noise
  • $1,195 to $1,995 against $549 to $599
  • Perks vanish if you buy elsewhere
  • Loss and damage: $195 deductible, one replacement
  • No tinnitus feature that I could find

It suits someone who wants the most discreet size, values having remote audiologists on call for three years, and is fine paying for that. If raw performance per dollar is the point, it isn't the one.

For the price of an M3 you could buy the RIC800 and the Beyond Pro and have $847 left. The M Series's case rests on support and size, not on measured sound.


8. Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Jabra Enhance Select M3 worth $1,995?
Not on the evidence available yet. No independent lab has tested any M Series model, and the Select 700 it replaced scored a Grade B (3.8) at HearAdvisor, with 1.0 out of 5 for speech in noise. The Yeasound RIC800 at $549 and the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro at $599 both have Grade A scores. What the M3 adds over the M1 and M2 is the smallest size, Auto Focus and TapControl. The three years of remote audiology comes with any model bought direct from Jabra.
Has HearAdvisor tested the Jabra M Series?
Not that I could find. HearAdvisor's Jabra pages cover the older Select 200, 300, 500, 700 and 50R, the Pro 20 and the Plus. A new model doesn't inherit its predecessor's score, so the M1, M2 and M3 should be treated as untested.
What is the difference between the Jabra M1, M2 and M3?
They share the same receiver-in-ear design, Bluetooth streaming, hands-free calls, LE Audio and Auracast, IP68 rating and charging case. Jabra says the M1 gives good hearing in noise, the M2 better hearing in noise with standard adaptive listening, and the M3 its best, with Auto Focus, advanced adaptive listening and TapControl. The M3 is also the smallest. They cost $1,195, $1,695 and $1,995 a pair.
Do I get the 100-day trial if I buy the Jabra M Series on Amazon?
No. Jabra says the 100-day risk-free trial, three years of audiology and three years of warranty and loss and damage cover apply when you buy directly from Jabra Enhance, and that other merchants can differ. The Amazon listings for the M3 Aureon and M2 Swift, sold by Amazon.com, say 30-day refund or replacement.
What does Jabra's loss and damage cover really include?
Jabra's terms give direct buyers three years of cover, with a $195 deductible for the hearing aids and $175 for the charger. Covered devices can be replaced only once per coverage period, and the replacement has to cover both aids in a pair.
How do I start a Jabra return?
You have to start the return with Jabra support by midnight Eastern on the last day of the 100-day period, and Jabra has to receive the items within 14 days after that. The items must be in the same condition as received, apart from normal wear, and Jabra pays return shipping on the initial return.
