Nuheara : Must-Have Earbuds for Airplane Travel

A 'Must Have Accessory for Travel' - Nuheara earbuds were named as one of 25 must-have smartphone accessories for airplane travel by Qantas Airways . Read the full article here(IQbuds are listed on slide #18).

'These small, versatile Nuheara wireless earbuds not only stream music from your smartphone, they can fade out or turn up environmental noise, whether you have music on or not. The batteries provide 16 hours of non-stop Bluetooth streaming.'

Air travel can be aggravating with overloaded airports, High in-cabin noise levels and busy travellers. It can make for an unsettling experience and these environments are just generally taxing to listen to.

When travelling in the air you want the best earbuds for an airplane that you can find. Noise cancelling earbuds allow you to turn down the low hum of the engine or the ambient cabin noise that never stops.

Noise Cancelling Technology

With noise levels in the aircraft itself ranging 'from 75 to 85 decibels,' according to Smithsonian Magazine, many travellers resort to using over-the-ear, noise-blocking headphones, or turning the volume right up on a traditional pair of earbuds during flights. This constant sound makes it hard to converse and can be potentially damaging to those who have long-term exposure such as flight crew and frequent flyers.

Using traditional wireless headphones without airplane functions may provide even less benefit. Listening to music or other digital audio at loud volumes effectively masks the aircraft cabin noise, but simultaneously increases decibel levels, compounding potential hearing loss risks.

'On the plane, and you can connect into the plane entertainment system, and you know you've got the noise cancellation so you can drop the hammer on the cabin noise,' says The West Australian.

IQbuds2 MAX are the first Nuheara product with Active Noise Cancellation that allows the user to block noise, elevate conversation or focus on a sound direction. The combination of incredible audio and active noise cancellation means during flights users can clearly hear movies, music or, if you desire, nothing at all.

Noise cancelling headphones also allow you to get a better sleep on the plane, so you're not wasting anytime when you hit the ground.

Used by the AFR team as noise cancelling earbuds for airplane travel, the tech guys at The Australian Financial Review had this to say regarding our claim as one of the best earbuds for airplane travel;

'We've tested it on a 14-hour flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, next to a noisy fan, under an air-conditioner, in a noisy workplace and in a very noisy bar. And without hesitation, we can say the noise-cancelling betters any earbuds or headphones we've ever reviewed'.

Speech in Noise Control to Enhance Your Air Travel

Speech in noise control (SINC)changes the level of suppression of background noise in the real world and clarifies speech. This allows you to focus on the sounds that are most important to you. Each environmental pre-set has a default SINC mode that you are able to customise.

This also means that on flights, users can suppress the loud, droning background noise from the engines and wind resistance on an airplane whilst still listening in when someone speaks to you.
