The noise cancellation works fine, however for a product in this price range it needs functional bluetooth range. For me that would mean having a mobile in my pocket, or perhaps up to 2m away from me and having zero breaks in the connection. IQbuds fail in this area. Having iPhone in my front pants pocket, and even turning my head to check for traffic while crossing the road can be enough to break the signal - and while listening to music that is really annoying.

If this problem was fixed or never even launched until it could maintain a stronger connection (like other bluetooth headsets can, including in ear buds) then it would be a 4/5 star product. But as a result, I rarely use them these days.

I'm happy with these earbuds as noise cancelling earphones. I have a set of Bose noise cancelling earbuds and I'd say these have (subjectively) better sound. I like the ability to tailor the noise cancelling depending on environment. I also love the convenience of bluetooth. I have read other reviews complaining about bluetooth range but I don't have a problem with my phone in my left trouser pocket.

Unfortunately I bought these primarily as phone earphone/microphone. While the earphone side is great, I get a *lot* of complaints about how intrusive background noise is at the other end. I do not have this problem with any wired headset (with the mic on the cord). I guess the firmware just can't separate out my voice from everything else.

These are big and clunky and also doesn't do a good job in putting out good sound. My particular piece had a lot of issues and it is so much harder to get it replaced or get support. It is an average 'wireless' earbud that should be avoided at all cases.

The best earphones out - love listening to my own music at work and out walking. Comes with various tips for the ears - once you work the ones to use - smooth sailing - great that you are still able to hear surrounding noises - so not such a risk to your safety around you. Highly recommend, charging is not an issue, lasts all day at work.

Hi. I just got my IQBUDs and to my surprise the charging case did not work. I did everything possible to make it work. If they did not do quality assurance on the product before shipping them out of the manufacture then the future quality of this product is unreliable. I am sending them back to Amazon for refund. Man I got $300 dollars attached to this mess.

I love my IQBuds. I use them daily. Very few drop outs...comfortable and easy to use. Great controls. Hearing agmentation is incredibly useful as I take public transport daily. Love mixing music with external sounds. Plenty of tip varieties although I purchased some memory foam tips. All in all I would recommend.

On this piece of technology, there is excellent speech optimisation and impressive music streaming. Due to the predominantly negative reviews on this page I wasn't expecting much when I purchased them but boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The Nuheara IQbuds also have good battery life fully functional, customisable sound settings.

Lacking in bass, very complicated tap system to work the functions, software not very simple to use and can't find where the bass boost is? The worst part is the bluetooth drops out when cycling. Also if not put into the case the earbuds go flat. Not to mention the very slow and complicated charging system. As i paid so much for them I want them to work, but seriously they don't sound very good and drop out.

The build quality on these headphones is so bad that I had to be careful when pulling them out of my ears so they did not break. The sound quality is not very good and they lack bass and sound very tinny. The Bluetooth pairing was good however. Overall they were not very good.

Very bad Bluetooth connection problems. When phone is in pocket continuously drops out. Very disappointed for a product of this price range. Seems to be an ongoing issue with IQBuds with such a serious fault for wireless headphones, Bluetooth connectivity/stability is critical. A known fault with this product and would not recommend. Will be returning ASAP Also battery does not stay charged when idle for more than 2 days. All other functions of these is pure gimmick unless you have serious hearing difficulties and then I suggest you get a hearing aid.

I ordered on line and found the left one kept falling out no matter what bud I chose. The 30 day return policy meant I got all my money back and customer service was excellent so no reason not to give it a go, just use a lot straight away and return if not suitable within 30 days. I also didn't like that firmware updates have to be through a computer cannot do on a tablet or phone. I also didn't find they improved my hearing and weren't loud enough or noise cancelling enough for me to listen to movies in comfort while on the treadmill at the gym. Maybe you will have better luck tweaking the settings.

Initially impressed with iqbuds but after some use have discovered some flaws in particular limited bluetooth range and low battery life vs what is advertised in my experience. A good product but maybe not living up tp the price tag afterall. Look forward to the next model to be released to fix the problems.

Have to say Bluetooth connection is the main complaint, It got disrupted way too easy. I have compared it with other pair of mine and friend of mine too, iqbuds connectivity is just too weak. The two pairs I compared with they both got more than 10m range of reception without disruption at all! but iqbuds can easily cut out even within one meter!

Battery life just ok last about 2-3 hours on average use

In terms of sound quality I will give it a 3.5 star

I was very hopeful to get my mum a set of aids that would help her in Face Time or Skype with friends and family all over the world. Unfortunately, it was OK to listen to music but absolutely hopeless in improving hearing when communicating either personally or through Skype etc. This is really disappointing as it is what the IQbuds have been touting. My mum and I waited 3 months in anticipation for nothing!!!!!
