Tabs on Max | Photographer & Music Event Promoter

[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, my name is Tabs. I am an events manager for Honeycutt, Perth. I run the photography, the videography, and the marketing side of things. A big part of what I do in terms of planning the events, we also get to be at the events. We end up doing a lot of talking with events managers, people who run venues, as well as artists.

00:25 - [DOORBELL] After a big night of working, you’re listening to music for six hours straight, and I’m always around speakers. My eardrums are like [EXPLOSION].. We used to have conventional– what are they called? Earbuds? Ear plugs. Earplugs. So for a while, my hearing got a little bit– not bad to the point where it was damaged, but it felt like it was weak. I’ve been a IQbuds user since version one. I frickin’ love them. I found them– when did I find them? I found them off that Unbox Therapy guy.

00:58 - So here’s a new thing, this is a new take. They’re called IQbuds. It was his reaction, to be honest. Yes! I remember him being like, whoa! And I was like, I want to feel that, I want to be like, whoa. These things are for real! These things are for real time. When I put these in, I feel like– [MUSIC PLAYING] –it’s less effort on my ears, if that makes sense. It’s just that rest that you need. IQbuds Max for me have a couple of features that I really enjoy. One being the active noise cancellation.

01:26 - I actually use them to cancel out the speakers enough while I shoot so you can still get through a shot and communicate. I really want to protect my hearing. These days I kind of use it mostly for conversations. And a lot of what I do for my clients is consultation, so if I can’t have a conversation where I can hear everything, I kind of lose my livelihood completely. When I’m looking for new artists and new tracks or events to do here, I’m always using these buds to listen to them. It makes my whole sound experience with the song actually amazing.

01:55 - And then when I need to turn to the conversation, I kind of go into that while sometimes actually having the music playing, which is a little bit rude, but it helps me kind of actively be aware of the people around me and my surroundings. The ear ID tests that you do at the start better personalizes the hearing experience so that the headphones are yours. The battery life on this is so amazing that I can kind of have them in all day. And they kind of fit my ears perfectly. I’ve even fallen with them in, I’m pretty sure, and nothing’s really come out. So they’ve been pretty good. I’ve genuinely fallen, I’m a very clumsy dude.

02:25 - [MUSIC PLAYING] Your hearing especially should be an investment. You only get two ears, and then after that you’re done, and it’s something that’s very important to me. These headphones have generally helped preserve and tailor my hearing experience better so that it’s less stressful for my ears. That’s what makes them one of the better products on the market and the best for me. .
