Received my Boosts 5 days ago. Here is an initial quick review. I will post another in about a month after more use.

The packaging and form factor is not quite at the same standard as Apple products, but still very good.

Set up instructions are easy – there is a quick start guide but the rest of the set-up is guided by the App.

It took me a while to select the best ear bud size – I should have just used the largest that fit (which is what is advised in the App). It took me a while to get them to fit properly, but I sorted it out when I looked at a Nuheara video about fit, and there is a technique to it. It would be helpful if that was better spelt out in the quick start guide.

Pairing was easy.

Using the ‘ear ID’ app to customise the Boosts was seamless. I did the test about 5 times over the next few days and the repeatability of the test is excellent. The profile showed my (known) hearing deficit - mostly in one ear and some mild high frequency loss in the other.

Battery life looks great.

Sound quality on Bluetooth is brilliant. With corded headphones I can adjust balance between left and right, but never individual hearing profiles. I would say that the sound I hear feels equal between ears and the sound is full, so I’m very happy with this (this was my main reason for purchase).

The ‘tapping’ function (where you can change settings / songs by tapping the left or right buds) is a bit fiddly and will take me some getting used to. I will probably prefer to make adjustments using my device (iPhones), but will persist.

As an augmented hearing device the Boosts are every bit as good as hearing aids I have worn in the past. The App is excellent - the app allows adjustments to how much outside sound you hear (called ‘world’); it has an equaliser that lets you adjust the world frequencies let in; and it has a feature that focuses on the frequencies used in speech (to better isolate speech). I have so far used the Boosts as an augmented hearing device to watch movies (sometimes I have difficulty picking up the diction in movies and the Boosts remedy this – means that the TV volume can be lower for the rest of the family). I will be interested when Nuheara release the TV streaming device to match. I haven’t used them in a restaurant yet.

As for the look of them, I think they are fine, but the wife thought they were too big. I told her the look is trendy, but not sure she’s convinced!

Overall, I would give them a 9 out of 10. For the price point and what they achieve I think they are an excellent product (so will keep my shareholding!).
