These wirelessearbuds are among the few with lossless CD-quality sound – does that justify their high price?
NuraTrue Pro MSRP $329.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “For those with a compatible phone, you can't beat the sound.” Pros Cons In 2022, Nura debuted the $329 NuraTrue Pro — its second set of wireless earbuds. I got a chance to try them out, but I didn’t write a full review.
Take the Pepsi challenge To perform the test, I took advantage of the NuraTrue Pro’s Bluetooth Multipoint capabilities to connect them simultaneously to two phones at once. Sitting in a quiet room, with the volume set to 60% on each device, my daughter volunteered as DJ and pressed play and pause on each track, never telling me which phone I was listening to. For all I knew, she could have been using the same phone for each track or a different phone.
The proof? Using the same test tracks, my accuracy dropped to 60% and on several occasions, it felt like pure guesswork. It’s entirely possible that if we had kept at it long enough, that success rate would have dropped further. Superb sound It’s worth noting that the NuraTrue Pro, aside from their lossless audio capabilities, are just generally great earbuds. So lest you form the wrong impression from that comparison above, let me state for the record that you will love listening to them even if you are limited to an iPhone’s AAC codec.
Nura has also jumped on the spatial audio trend with an optional Spatial Audio mode. It’s powered by Dirac Virtuo, the same spatial processing used on the Sudio E2. But there must be a difference in the way Nura has implemented it. On the Sudio, it was noticeable and at times quite enjoyable. Not so much on the NuraTrue Pro. I tried it on a number of tracks and found it made very little difference to the sound.
It’s not quite up to par with the AirPods Pro Gen 2, in that the mics seem to have their gain set a bit on the high side, which creates a small amount of noise even when things are quiet, but that’s far from a deal breaker.
