What is the difference between IQbuds, IQbuds BOOST and IQbuds2 MAX wireless hearing buds?
IQbuds2 MAX was launched at CES2020 and is the most advanced, most powerful Hearing Bud Nuheara has ever produced.
IQbuds BOOST was launched at CES in January 2018 and was the first Hearing Bud to feature Ear ID for hearing personalisation and intelligent amplification. IQbuds were the first truly wireless Hearing Bud and were released in 2017. The table below details the differences between each Nuheara Hearing Bud.

How far will the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the IQbuds2 MAX reach?
IQbuds MAX feature Bluetooth 5.0, which compared to its predecessor (Bluetooth 4), is faster, has a better range and can process more data. IQbuds MAX with Bluetooth 5.0 will have a range of about 10m (32ft).
How is the advanced noise control in IQbuds MAX hearing buds achieved?
IQbuds MAX achieves advanced noise control through Hybrid Noise Cancellation, which is the combination of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), passive noise reduction, Speech In Noise (SINC) and directional sound (FOCUS) technologies. Sophisticated proprietary digital signal processing takes information from two external and one internal microphone on each hearing bud. The system senses the sound in almost any environment, sorts out the speech (including your own) from other sounds and then compares, measures and reacts instantly to produce the opposing cancellation signal. Further, World EQ allows each user to access different audio equalisation settings that boost or reduce treble and base sounds for personalised noise cancellation.
Do I have access to both SIRI and the Google Assistant?
On any compliant Apple device, you will have access to both SIRI and Google Assistant. On an Android device you only have access to Google Assistant.
How do I pair IQbuds MAX wireless hearing buds with my mobile device?
To pair your IQbuds Max with a mobile device you need to follow these steps
- First, install the app on your mobile device.
- Put your IQbuds2 MAX in your ears, then tap and hold both the LEFT and RIGHT earbuds for 5 seconds
- The announcer will say ‘pairing’ when pairing mode starts.
- The app will guide you through setup and pairing when you use it for the first time.
Note: For Apple devices, you will need to select your IQbuds™ in your Bluetooth settings as well as in the app.
How do I charge IQbuds MAX wireless hearing buds?
When your earbuds are in the case and you close the lid, the indicator lights will display the charging status of the earbuds.
How long will the battery stay charged?
IQbuds2 MAX provide up to 5 hours continuous use when streaming. With the three additional charges from the charging case you will have over 20 hours of on-the-go Bluetooth streaming. If you use less streaming or are using only the Hearing Processing, IQbuds2 MAX will last 8 hours, and a total of 32 hours on-the-go Hearing Processing with the three additional charges. If using ANC these times will be reduced slightly.
Can I charge IQbuds2 MAX wireless hearing buds from my PC/laptop?
Yes. IQbuds MAX come with a USB cable that allows the headphones to be charged from your PC or laptop. Please note that the PC or laptop must be on and awake in order to charge over USB.
How dothe tap touch controls work?
Both your left and right earbuds feature a tap touch sensor on the top of the bud where the Nuheara logo is placed. The tap touch allows you to control the behavior of your earbuds without using the App on your mobile device. The default controls are:
| TAP TOUCH CONTROL | DEFAULT ACTION(S) | DEFAULT ACTION ON PHONE CALL |
| Left Tap | Play/Pause audio | Answer incoming phone call |
| Left Double Tap | Activate Siri or Google Assistant | |
| Left Long Tap | Reject / hang up call | |
| Right Tap | World On / Off | |
| Right Double Tap | Activate Siri / Google Now | |
| Right Long Tap | Switch between favourite locations |
Once you are familiar with the tap touch controls and the use of your earbuds, you can configure the tap touch controls to alternative actions based upon how you most use your IQbuds2 MAX and which features you want to have accessible with a tap touch.
The table below shows the default controls, and the alternative actions you can assign to those controls:
| TAP TOUCH CONTROL | DEFAULT ACTION(S) | ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS |

True Personalization
Nuheara’s EarID™ technology uses a convenient mobile app to assess a wearer’s hearing and automatically calibrate the buds to their personal hearing profile. EarID uses the clinically-validated NAL-NL2 hearing test—a neural network-driven system that optimizes the hearing augmentation engine to the user’s personal preferences. This provides research-grade hearing customization without the need to visit audiology specialists.
Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation
With the most advanced form of ANC, IQbuds2 MAX uses three microphones to analyze and process sounds both inside and outside the ear. Advanced filtering circuitry creates cancellation waves in the ear to reduce distracting sounds and in-ear occlusion. With the tap of a finger, users can block external noises. Working in combination with SINC, this feature delivers a premium dual noise-isolation experience for unparalleled noise mitigation and control.
Situational Sound
Nuheara’s proprietary Speech in Noise Control
(SINC) adds unique sound controls for each situation. With SINC, wearers can quickly toggle their earbuds to the most comfortable noise settings for their location—muting background noise and enhancing focus on their direct conversations in a noisy environment.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing
IQbuds2 MAX triple-core DSP system delivers optimal hearing fidelity and reduces occlusion to deliver the most natural enhanced sound ever in a hearing bud. IQbuds2 MAX have a 450MIPS signal processing engine in each earbud, offering an optimal natural sound experience.
Sonic Accuracy
A large 9.2mm dynamic driver with vented acoustical design provides pitch-perfect sound fidelity. This improves sound quality, especially bass, which can be an issue with smaller earbuds.
App Syncing with iPhone and Android Nuheara’s user-friendly apps allow full control of the listening environment, including noise reduction and hearing processing. Users can adjust hearing preferences from the app and receive future developments and upgrades for the IQbuds2 MAX.
Intelligent controls
Nuheara’s smart sensors provide intuitive tap-touch and gesture control for seamless user experience.
Water and sweat-resistant
All of Nuheara’s products are designed to maximize compatibility for an active lifestyle.
