    This hearing aids work great! The thing I like the best about these is that there is no occlusion effect like other in the ear hearing aids. The app helps guide the setup, does the hearing test for you, and sets everything up. You can stream music, take calls, skip songs, change modes and more. You can customize what you hear, where you are hearing from, and if you want to focus more on speech or have your background amplified.

    I have tinnitis, so this is a way for me to isolate sounds I want to hear and I use them as ear protection in the machine shop. Not great for guitar playing, but otherwise good.

    I was excited about these and to teach my father in law how to use them. It would have helped him out and his wife so that they could each enjoy their shows at sound volumes that each would be comfortable with while watching TV. However, my father in law has suddenly gotten severely ill and it's not likely he'll be able to use them. Ratings based on my research since I have to return them.

    These things are amazing. I really like them a lot. My intended use for them was to use as a listening aid while in executive coaching meetings. It does work for that, but I find that I use them even more frequently for everyday use, and particularly for phone calls. These things are a way more comfortable solution than any other hands-free talking device I’ve used.

    I watched several videos on how well these projected sound (goal was as amplifying effect for husband). Fit was the first problem, then its size being rather large, the synchronization with cell phones was not very easy nor intuitive for us 'elders'. Unfortunately, we exchanged them for another brand. Disappointingly because I really wanted to experience the wow factor other audio reviewers claimed.

    I was a bit upset when I opened the box & there were no instructions. But, after reading the box and downloading the APP, they work great. (They don't do much of anything without setting them up through the APP first)

    This is my 2nd pair, I got the 1st pair just over 3 years ago. I have a moderate to severe hearing impairment and my high end devices are too powerful for at home watching TV and they don't hook up my phone. These Nuheara IQBuds² Max are perfect for watching tv, conf calls (able to shut off "the world") and everyday normal use. If they work for me with my mod/severe hearing impairment they will work for you too! My wife got me a 2nd set for Christmas since they were 1/2 off as the only drank l drawback is battery only lasts about 6 hours, 4 if using BT for conf calls/meetings, etc (they do charge fast, in like 20 mins). I highly recommend the IQBuds² Max!!!

    lacking in design / programming - and poor quality

    These buds (the ones I received) are defective and leave a lot to be desired for me. The right bud has regular a ¨crackling¨ sound when ever the environment is noisy, such as at a restaurant. regardless of defectiveness , is poor effectiveness. They do not provide enough increase in audible speech sound levels. A major fault is, these bud CANNOT be used independently. They will not turn on unless they are both in your ears and they shut off if you remove either one. A Q&A here at best buy indicated they could be used independently. I am very disappointing that they cannot. The buds also cannot be controlled individually. i.e.: you cannot turn the volume up on one more than the other. I almost would keep these, as they do provide some minor benefit in a restaurant setting, If not for the defective right bud (crackling). They are not worth keeping with the disappointing lack of individual controls. They do not work well enough as a hearing assistant. If mine were not defective, I would keep them at the discounted price (black friday) , to use as a stop gap until i find something better. as is - i will return.
