These are miraculous bits of technology that, despite their ubiquity<\/span>, still feel kinda magical. But\u2026 we can do more.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wanting to go beyond the standard features you get with most true wireless earbuds, you have an option: personalized sound.<\/p>\n To put it another way, these are headphones that are tuned to your hearing.<\/p>\n It works as such: sounds are blasted into your ear canals, these are analyzed when they bound back, and then the headphones\u2019 output is tailored to these results. (If you\u2019d like more info on how it works, go here<\/a>).<\/p>\n This is different to adaptive EQ \u2014 which is now quite common. This feature is to make your music sound the same no matter where you are (think of inside a bathroom and outdoors). Personalized sound is about creating a profile that\u2019s specific to your hearing.<\/p>\n The company most famous for producing this sort of gear is called nura \u2014 you can look at our previous coverage of the over-ear nuraphone<\/a> and the in-ear nuraloop<\/a>.<\/p>\n Well, I want to have a closer look at whether getting a pair of earbuds with personalized sound is worth it. To do so, I\u2019m going to look at two specific types of earbuds to give this piece some structure:<\/p>\n The reason for this is to compare the nuratrue to a more conventional type of earbuds, especially ones that are popular and have just been released.<\/a><\/p>\n In my mind, you can split the discussion over personalized audio into two points:<\/p>\n The reason for this will become clear as the piece progresses. So, let\u2019s begin with the first point:<\/p>\n This is the big meaty one.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll put it simply. If you\u2019re going to be using your earbuds predominately for listening to music, a pair of personalized earbuds like the nuratrue are a great shout.<\/p>\n One of the arguments against personalized sound is that you\u2019re not getting accurate sound reproduction. What you\u2019re hearing has been fiddled with so a sense of subtlety has been lost.<\/p>\n This is true, but I believe this isn\u2019t such a big problem with true wireless earbuds. Generally, you\u2019re not using this type of headphone if you\u2019re after accurate audio. Instead, you want them to be exciting: and that\u2019s what the nuratrue achieve.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t to say the AirPods 3 sound bad (they\u2019re always surprisingly good), but they don\u2019t sparkle as much as the nuratrue. (Side note: I really wish they\u2019d introduced tips for the AirPods 3, as the lack of isolation hinders their sound.)<\/p>\n To sum this up: if you\u2019re solely in the earbuds game for music listening, then a pair of personalized earbuds like the nuratrue are something you should try.<\/p>\nWhat the hell is personalized sound?<\/h2>\n
