Nothing ear (1)

Image
A good set of true wireless headphones, which deliver a strong overall performance and a distinctive design on a relatively modest budget. The audio is pleasingly precise, Active Noise Cancellation works well, and they are very comfortable to wear whether you’re being active or at rest. There were a handful of Bluetooth interruptions during my time using them, and there are premium products that might deliver greater sound, but they’re a hard prospect to ignore at this price point. Pros Relatively modest price Good sound quality Distinctive design Comfortable to wear while resting or working out Cons Some connectivity issues Design may be divisive Availability UK RRP: £99 USA RRP: $99 Europe RRP: €99 Canada unavailable Australia unavailable Key Features IPX4 rating Splashproof in case of water exposure Distinctive design New-look transparent appearance Battery life The charging case offers 34 hours maximum battery life Introduction Nothing i...

The NuraTrue fit Nura’s custom sound-tuning tech into a desirable true wireless form, with great results. Battery life is solid, sound customisation is as refined as seen in the original Nuraphones, and active noise cancellation is well implemented, if not quite as effective as the best. These earphones don’t just rely on “high concept” audio tuning, although it’s a shame the bass-boosting feature isn’t as sophisticated as the core bespoke EQ. Pros Detailed upper-mids Fun sound-tuning process Comprehensive customisation via the phone app Solid battery life Cons Bass-boosting Immersion mode lacks finesse Sound-tuning thins out the mids a little too much Availability UK RRP: £199 USA RRP: $199 Europe RRP: €229 Australia RRP: AU$299 Key Features Active noise cancellation The NuraTrue monitor ambient noise and cancel it out using inverse waves of that sound Up to 6 hours’ battery life Nura rates the NuraTrue battery life at up to six hours per charge, o...
