Noise-cancelling perfection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuheara.com\/products\/iqbuds-max\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21524\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/products-max.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.7em; font-style: italic; text-align: center;\">The charge case gets you four more charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now, on long trips or, say, when you&#8217;re driving, this solution could be a little inconvenient, due to having no hands left to hold a scotch glass\/steering wheel. In these circumstances we recommend wrapping gaffer tape around your head to hold the headphones firmly in place. Or, if you&#8217;re worried about your hairdo, using a bright, elastic headband \u00e0 la John McEnroe circa 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Do this, and you&#8217;ll be in noise-cancelled bliss.<\/p>\n<p>But if that sounds a little over the top, you could always:<\/p>\n<p>2) Get yourself a pair of Nuheara&#8217;s latest Bluetooth earbuds, the IQbuds\u00b2 MAX, put them in your ears and turn on their &#8220;World Off&#8221; Mode.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve done a fair bit of testing of the noise-cancelling feature in the IQbuds\u00b2 MAX, added in an update to the IQbuds we first reviewed a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve tested it on a 14-hour flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, next to a noisy fan, under an air-conditioner, in a noisy workplace and in a very noisy bar. And without hesitation, we can say the noise-cancelling betters any earbuds or headphones we&#8217;ve ever reviewed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Once you fit them properly in your ears, they are exactly as good as a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 or Bose QuietComfort 35 Mark II headphones squeezed tight against your head.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Which is to say that, under normal usage of those Sony or Bose headphones, without the gaffer tape or the headband, the IQbuds\u00b2 MAX earbuds are better. They&#8217;re astonishingly good.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;<em>(Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/technology\/turn-off-the-world-with-nuheara-s-iqbuds2-max-20200113-p53qz3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AFR.com<\/a> to read the rest of this article)<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"avia-button-center\"><a class=\"avia-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nuheara.com\/products\/iqbuds-max\/\">LEARN MORE ABOUT IQBUDS MAX<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a portion of a recent article from the Australian Financial Review on IQbuds2 MAX, published on January 16th, 2020.
