what's good world welcome to Fresh tech TV and today we're gonna be talking
about the nura headphones so what makes these headphones special in any kind of
way you know normally headphones just provide a good amount of sound for music
or movies and they're pretty straightforward they have been the same
for quite some time now what sets these apart is the fact that they're a little
bit smarter than most so to give you guys a backdrop on what these headphones
are all about and what makes them special is the fact that when you look
at them at first glance of course you notice that there are ear tips as well
as an over ear design so the breakdown the reason for that is because the
outside driver the bigger driver that goes over your ear is for the bass and
low-end sounds and the earbud that's inside goes in your canal and that's for
your mids and highs so that way you're able to get a very well balanced bass
heavy punchy sound without you know muddying up the mids of the highs now
they're going to make these specials the fact that they are personally tuned to
how your ears listen to sound so when you first put these on you actually go
through a calibration test on the application and it has a series of
sounds and noises beeps and Boop's and it listens to how your ear reacts to
those sounds so to give you guys a very low-end explanation of this one sound
travels through your canal and hits your eardrum another sound is reverberating
back out and the feedback is what these headphones listen for so there's a
microphones built into the earbud that listens to how your ear reacts to
different highs and mids and lows and actually personalizes the output of the
headphones based on how your ears adapt to sound which makes these headphones
kind of revolutionary because normally it's been one-size-fits-all I mean when
you go and get a pair of beats my pair of beats are gonna be the same as yours
or when I go and get a pair of Bose QuietComfort 35 they're gonna be the
exact same as yours so these are truly meant for you and you alone so all of
our ears are very different maybe my right ear is better at you know hearing
low in frequencies and my left ear is better at high in frequencies maybe I've
had you know some type of hearing loss due to you know bass heavy music and go
on to a lot of concerts when I was younger
these actually listen for how your specific ears adapt to sound and how
they react to certain sounds going into your ear as a result of all that madness
and all that tech inside these headphones it makes for quite an
experience and if you go anywhere else and look up reviews of these headphones
and look up reactions to these headphones you'll notice that there's a
kind of uniform reaction and that it's pretty mind-blowing when you first
listen to it and the difference between generic and immersive so on typical
fashion we're going to be giving you guys my review of these headphones first
starting off with the bad and then you know on the positive note and then also
give you my final verdict so starting off with the things that I do not like
about these headphones first and foremost is the fact that they aren't
collapsible so they do come with the carrying case which is nice but they
don't fold up so the carrying case is kind of big I would like to have seen
some type of foldability and make it a little bit more portable being that it's
in the same realm as the QuietComfort 35 is in the beach studios which are both
foldable and more compact and the only other thing that I don't like about
these headphones is the fact that there is a built-in proprietary charging port
now at first glance it looks like a mini USB port when I first saw it was like
man that's kind of antiquated why don't they put a mini USB in there but at
second glance it's definitely a little bit different and you have to purchase
their unique charging cables now of course it comes with one in the box but
if you have different devices like I do and you want one that's USB see on the
end one that's lightning one that has inline controls you're gonna have to pay
a little bit extra money for that but of course these are wireless so there's no
need to plug them in it just would have been nice to see something that's more
Universal so that way the cost of the cables could have been half if you buy
them from them directly they're twenty bucks a pop and if you want the cable
with the inline controls it's gonna be 40 so let's not cheap at all but if you
get these plan on using them wirelessly because you don't want to have to pay
extra money for cables and now the move on to the things that I like about these
headphones and it's quite a long list first off the comfort so I'm one to like
very breathable ear cups and these are made from a rubbery latex count material
so that's known to normally not be able to breathe but the people had never fall
and thought about that issue so when base is pushed through the bigger driver
on the ear cup it actually sucks cool air from the bottom while pushing hot
air through the top so the sides of the ear cup as well as the inside is
ventilated so that way does a good job of keeping a very modest temperature
with inside the air cup not making it too hot or heavy another thing about
these is that they are quite heavy but doesn't really translate when have it on
your head for long periods of time I don't know if it's attributed to the
design of these how they have the latex pivot point on the ear cup or or what it
is but over long periods of time it doesn't really feel heavy and it doesn't
weigh down on your neck speaking of the materials use it is metal and
high-quality rubber so it doesn't feel cheap in any way they don't give the
illusion of weight that does feel very hefty I mean something that substantial
something that's worth 399 hands down the biggest Pro to these headphones is
the fact that they have the immersion mode and the personalized audio so these
would be just like any other headphones if they didn't offer the personalization
and adapt to how your ears hear sound and it's not something I can really
translate through video and it's something that I think everyone should
probably experience at least once with immersion mode you can actually move the
slider up to the left making it more immersive and the higher you go up the
more base there is essentially so goes all the way up the highest setting is
front row of a concert when I had them cranked up to 100%
no audio leaked out and no one could really tell what I was listening to now
they don't come with active noise cancellation but given the fact that
there are two levels of isolation from the in here but as well as the outer ear
cuff there's no sound leaking in either I know the pro for me is the fact that
it comes with a really nice 30 carrying case so if you're traveling with it you
have to worry about these being affected at all inside the case it's a hard case
it comes to different rubber accents for shock absorption as well as different
magnets for the class they are magnetized on the rim of the case as
well and everything just fits well it feels quality and premium down to the
stitching the little bits of leather it's a nice case the last thing that I'd
say is one of the pros for these headphones is the application being that
it's the brains of the F owns the fact that it's very intuitive and simple very
minimal and doesn't offer any clutter no advertisements it is pretty seamless
even if you're a low-end tech user you can definitely get by with this
application it'll help you set them up from start to finish and make sure it's
personalized for you now down to my final verdict on these headphones the
fact that they're merging both here bud and headphone to make a personalized
audio solution with the integrated software and machine learning the
different microphones that they have in here these are definitely the smartest
pair of headphones I've ever owned they were awarded with the most innovative
award at CES 2018 and it was for good reason I'm happy to see something like
this being brought to consumer electronics and the audio department
because for so long it's always been one size fits all and now that
you can actually have a personalized audio experience I don't foresee myself
using any other type of headphones in the future I'd say that it's worth the
extra few bucks to go for these over some Bose QuietComfort 35s being that it
is tailored specifically for you it's like going to buy a suit that's either
tailored or not tailored you're gonna pay the extra money to have it tailored
for you specifically because it'll look better versus something that is just
generalized for everyone but that's about it for me guys it's been a
