User Reviews

Users report IQbuds offer strong hearing-support features and useful case charging, but reliability depends on software. The app is frequently buggy, with slow or failed Ear ID, profile changes not sticking, and connectivity prompts. Firmware updates can cause new issues. Fit is mixed: some users find the buds secure during activity, while others experience slipping out, especially with masks. Sound quality and loudness also vary by unit. Overall, significant benefit for hearing-impaired users exists when the software and hardware cooperate, but recurring app/firmware/connectivity issues undermine consistent use.

Pros

Customizable sound profiles tailored for hearing loss via the app and Ear ID
Clear benefit for hearing-impaired users; improves conversation clarity
Comfortable, secure fit for many activities (snug and stays in place during runs)
Convenient charging case that extends battery life
Centralized app controls for tuning and adjustments when the app is functioning

Cons

App reliability issues: under-developed, buggy, with Ear ID interruptions and profile syncing failures
Connectivity and pairing instability: hard to connect, frequent dropouts, app reports not connected
Firmware update problems: new firmware introduces mode cycling and battery fluctuations
Fit reliability concerns: buds slip out easily, especially with masks
Sound quality and loudness inconsistent: some units sound weak or lack background-noise suppression

I bought these earbuds a couple years ago to help with my hearing loss in dealing with real estate clients from the moment I purchased these I regretted it. They were terrible. They never worked properly and had been a big waste of money thankfully, there’s other options available now, but I wish I was able to get my money back

This product is wireless… But the app is clearly under-developed and full of problems. The latest firmware release doesn’t work.

I love the buds. Absolutely amazing for my kind of hearing issues. The app is frustrating in that the Ear ID process is lengthy, and anything that comes up while you’re doing it, like a call or anything that requires you to leave the app cancels the process and you have to start from scratch. So I did it three times yesterday before I got an Ear ID, and now this morning I logged in and it has disappeared, so I have to do the process yet again. Also, when you select a profile to change settings, most of the time it doesn’t actually switch to that profile, so changes you make don’t get pushed to the app, you have to quit the app and go back in to make it select it. I hope they can fix these issues. It’s an otherwise great product.
