    Tried this at their Melbourne Central pop-up store, took a while to configurate for me. And the sound wasn't that good. Nothing special though.

      Interested to know what you have as a comparison?

        W1000XM3…

    Good price. Currently renting these through NuraNow as I was curious to try without buying. Very comfy, sound quality is good and noise cancelling is excellent. But they're very bulky and the carry case is enormous. Unsuitable for regular aircraft travel.

    • Bloodfart on 11/06/2019 - 22:29

      Yeah I'm doing the same and it's unwieldy on the plane. Pretty much fills up half the carry on. Sound is quite good tho. But I wouldn't pay to own one

        Do you think you'll get the earphone version?

          Thought about it as I prefer in ear buds but I don't like how the wires loop over the ears. I had Shures that did that and they felt weird.

  • mmjjbb on 12/06/2019 - 01:11

    Waa considering buying , thanks for the comments

    Bose Homespeaker 500 would be great if it supports Google! It would make it a better unit than Google Home Max that I have as it definitely has better sound.

    I crowdfunded a pair of Nuraphones and frankly find it hard to recommend.

    They’re extremely irritating to take on and off, any movement and the inner ear slips out for me and/or ‘noise’ occurs. You can’t even walk down the street with them. It’s big and bulky to carry, has proprietary cables (which I noticed they still do with their newer earphone version). Lose the cables and you won’t be able to charge it - then it won’t work at all gg.

    Most frustratingly of all, despite being able to profile your hearing, they don’t make these statistics available as data so that you could adapt other sound systems (your car, home audio system, PC) to your bespoke sound profile.

    Nura never reveal the statistics of the actual hardware (drivers etc) so from a technical performance level, it’s inconsistent with industry transparency.

      Thank you for these very important points to know.

      Well you can appreciate if they make the data open source then they lose their edge. Why would you upgrade to the next product if you knew how to tweak the EQ - if that was even possible.

      Agree on the hardware, and maybe that's because they don't want customers to judge on hardware but on performance.

      I think they're trying to create a new category here so it's a bit mute for people to complain that the nura's don't compare with the populars. No other headphone has personalised tuning or the immersive experience.

      Sometimes customers complain too much and don't appreciate general innovation, even if imperfect in the first few years, just like all innovations of the past!

      Appreciate above were your own opinions and experience.

    Not a bad price. Got mine about a year ago from Amazon's Prime day. Worth the price @ arounf $380 so $332 is amazing. (Don't buy at full price I have a feeling they are struggling a little and they drop big discounts quite often)
    Sound is pretty good - but thats very subjective. I also own the W100MX3 and a a Senn. HD6XX so all my headphones are around this price range. I prefer these to the Sony's sound. I'm older so as my upper hearing diminished I prefer more neutral or bright headphone sounds. So Nuraphone is able to tweak/equalise automatically to accomodate for the lack of treble I hear. I find it very clear in the highs as well as the mids. Low end is tight but definitely not as good as other headphones out there - Sony's are the boomiest but I find that there is almost no treble detail with them (without equalising)
    The only problem is that they are UNCOMFORTABLE to wear more than an hour or 2. Their heavy so waking around with them is just annoying (earcups seals keep breaking and plays havoc with ANC). If you want to wear these on long plane journeys I'm not recommending them.

      i actually find the touch sensors on the side annoying. just adjusting or even scratching my head can set it off and pause or adjust volume. i know you can assign actions to them but then defeats the purpose. i reckon they should use easy click buttons instead.

      • eug on 12/06/2019 - 20:11

        I think that's a problem with all touch-sensitive headphones. I prefer the QC35 over the Sony XM1000 series because the Bose has hard buttons.

        That said, it looks like plenty of people don't seem to mind, so it could just be a matter of getting used to it.

      • tebbybabes on 13/06/2019 - 12:25

        When I was testing them out at the Melbourne pop-up, this was exactly what bothered me about it.

    I just returned a pair of these that I was using through the NuraNow program (I think my deal was $40 upfront and then $15 a month). They're great but I echo the experiences of everyone else on the thread - quite bulky and uncomfortable for more than an hour or two, so they're unsuited for long haul travel.

    I had a further issue with them, which is that my phone doesn't support their preferred Bluetooth codec (aptx-HD), and so their connection was spotty at best in crowded areas (train stations, airports, i.e. exactly where you want your noise cancelling headphones to be working if you use them as an anxiety management tool). The advice from Nura was first "put your phone closer to the right earpiece", which worked as long as I actually held the phone in my hand and up to my ear, and frankly, at that point, what is the point of wearing headphones, and then "use the cord", at which point what is the point of having wireless headphones.

    Great technology, awesome work on the software and the sound profiling, but let down by the connectivity, although I did NOT test this on a phone with aptx-HD codec.
