\"bestWhen it comes to wireless Bluetooth earbuds, one of the most common complaints involves sub-standard battery life<\/strong>. Although most consumers would prefer the comfort, convenience, and aesthetics of truly wireless earbuds, having to deal with dead batteries after just an hour or two is totally unacceptable. Wireless earbuds battery life is a hot button issue as a result.<\/p>\n

In the process of prototyping and testing\u00a0IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX, maximizing battery life and performance was a huge priority. The challenge of accommodating microphones, auditory processing components, speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, and a battery into a small wireless earbud is enormous. When factoring in the added hearing processing functionalities of IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX that go beyond the vast majority of wireless earbuds, that challenge is multiplied exponentially.<\/p>\n

With today’s IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX, you get five hours of battery life for Bluetooth audio streaming, or ten hours of hearing processing\/augmentation using SINC (Super Intelligent Noise Control) technology on a single charge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To see how IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX stack up with a variety of other hearable devices, we created the comparison table below. For comparing the single-charge battery life of each product, we are using figures for use with Bluetooth audio streaming for all products to get an apples-to-apples comparison across the board<\/p>\n

Of the products listed, only the IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX offer hearing augmentation functionality<\/strong>. \u00a0The IQbuds offers 5 hours of streaming media, or 10hrs of hearing processing per single charge (40hrs on-the-go with charging case). Despite offering more advanced hearing functionalities IQbuds offer strong battery life, on par with other leading truly wireless earbuds :<\/p>\n

All of the wireless earbuds featured above come with portable charging cases. When we mention “on-the-go” battery life, that refers to the maximum amount of time the earbuds will function including all recharges from the portable charging case.<\/p>\n

However, charging via the portable cases is not instantaneous. For that reason, we also included the column for “Battery Recharging Speed” which refers to the speed with which the charging case recharges the batteries in the buds. There is significant difference here.<\/p>\n

Looking at the results as a whole, Apple’s Airpods boast the most impressive overall wireless earbuds battery life and recharging speed. IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX come in second with total battery life and recharging speed.<\/p>\n

What’s Been Written on Wireless Earbuds Battery Life<\/h2>\n

Looking at independent reviews by various technology magazines, it appears that critics agree that Nuheara’s IQbuds2\u00a0<\/sup>MAX are a stand-out. Here is a sampling of what’s been written about hearable device battery life and performance:<\/p>\n

IQbuds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were particularly pleased with the IQbuds\u2019 5.5-hours of battery life per charge.\u201d<\/em> – DigitalTrends.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here One:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo hours of battery life on Here One means the device\u2019s capability flies in the face of some of its intended use cases.\u201d<\/em> – <\/em>The Verge<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bragi:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBragi estimates battery life to be just three hours, which is underwhelming.\u201d<\/em> – PCMag<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jabra:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLike competing products, battery life isn’t great — they’re rated at just three hours of music listening\u201d<\/em> – CNET<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samsung:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBattery life is alarmingly short and falls short of claims.\u201d <\/em>– PCWorld<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apple:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Apple\u2019s claim of five hours battery life from the AirPods appeared to be completely accurate in our tests…” <\/em>– TechRadar<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
