The IQbud Boost from Nuheara aren’t your regular wireless earbuds; these things care about your hearing and can personalise the sound to your specific needs, thanks to the included Ear ID, a clinical-grade hearing assessment that automatically calibrates the earbuds to your unique hearing profile. If you already have a degree of hearing loss, these earbuds help you get the best out of your audio by using intelligent amplification to suppress the background noise and boost your hearing which is customisable to different environments. The industry first Ear IDTM means these buds self-fit, self-assess and auto-calibrate, the Directional Hearing feature brings the sound directly in front of you into sharper focus whilst the audio transparency means you can still be aware of your surroundings when still listening to music, keeping you safer when out and about. If you find yourself arguing with the family over the volume of the TV you can pop in the earbuds and watch your shows together with low latency streaming to your Bluetooth-enabled TV.

The Boost can enhance phone calls with advanced wireless connectivity and microphone technology, the SINC feature is the Super Intelligent Noise Control which balances between world noise and speech. The Ear ID uses an intelligent audiometric system that that learns how you hear and automatically adjusts the IQbuds to your hearing prescription. On top of all that, you get a whopping 32 hours of battery life when using on-the-go Hearing Processing, and 20 hours when Bluetooth streaming. They are sweat and water resistant (so you can’t use it as an excuse for not listening to your gym instructor). The customisable tips keep things secure and comfortable whilst the tap-touch earbuds are designed for comfort and hands-free control and the app lets you personalise the settings to give you the best hearing experience in a variety of locations or activities. The IQbud Boost are a great choice for those looking to boost their hearing and audio quality, when ambient sound is played to you it is slightly robotic due to the wireless compression, but it is acceptable, and the set-up process is quick and simple. If you have hearing issues these could be a real game changer. RRP £399
