Are These The Best Headphones Ever? Nura: Australia Meet Kickstarter

nura-headphones-3Here’s the pitch: Everyone has a different ability to hear different musical frequencies. So there are whole sections of music on your favourite song that you just cannot hear well.
Melbourne inventors Dr Luke Campbell, 30, and Kyle Slater, 29, claim to have invented a pair of headphones that can detect your personal hearing signature and adapt the sound of the music you’re playing so you hear every element of the song. They collected about 500000 Euros on Kickstarter and call the wonderful device Nura.

Our ears are constantly making a tiny sound in response to the sound they receive, too faint to be heard by humans. Let that sink in for a moment (it’s called an otoacoustic emission).
The Nura comes with a tiny microphone in the cup. When you first put the cans on it runs a quick frequency-detection test, like something you might do at an audiologist’s clinic. The Nura listens to the ears’ own sound as it plays the test, calculating the ability of the ear to hear each frequency.

The headphones are slated to ship April 2017. The proof, as always, will be in the pudding.
