Nuraphone headphones

More than any other pair of headphones we’ve tested, the Nuraphones are trying to do something entirely new with personal audio. They’ve got a pretty unique in-ear/over-ear hybrid design, some neat audio personalisation effects, and they also dispense with many of the additional buttons contained on normal headphones in favor of automatically switching on and off. While the fundamentals are there, occasionally the headphones are a bit too clever for their own good, resulting in a user-experience that can feel over-complicated.
