so what im hearing is that the sonys (which i possess) are better in terms of comfortability and travelling but nuraphones are just good in terms of sound quality (which is a big deal for me). The sonys arent a bad choice if you use it for travelling but if sound is your main objective, the nuraphones are the better option.
Good review. I’m always looking for a different perspective. I had a pair of Sony’s (version 2) and the Nuraphones for about two weeks. Both had awesome sound. The Sony’s were much more comfortable and I leaned toward the Sony’s on features. I thought the Nuraphones had better overall sound and were better for a home theater setting, largely due to the “immersion” setting. I may have to revisit the Sony’s. Thanks again for the review.
I have Nuraphone, Bose QC 35ii & Sennheiser PXC 550ii, in comparison with my hearing profile with the Nura, the other 2 seems liitle brother🙂 I got all the detailed sound never heard before in my favorite songs with Nura with 3 hearing profile setting I got the one perfect hearing profile for me.
Nice video man, I've been looking for a comparison between these two headphones. Now I guess I'ill buy the nuraphone first since it has the 30 days return 😝
They sound good. Problem for nura is I had my vmodas on hand and the sound coming out if the nuras couldn't stand up to my vmodas. They couldn't impress. If you're coming from crapo headphones, sure they will sound much better.
@@JayBaz well I had my wife and my brother in law set up the nura eq to them and try them next to the vmodas. Now I fibbed and said I like the nuras more just to see if they would agree with my by power of persuasion... both of them tried them the nuras then the vmodas and both of them said the vmodas sounded better. The bass was richer. I agree. The nura bass is like the skullcandy crusher bass, very hard hitting with almost no sub bass. They sound good, dont get me wrong. I'd take them over bose any day. But for $400 I wasnt bown away and you get much better sound from the vmodas at half the cost. Plus vmodas lifetime warranty, comfort, and build. Also, you can plug your vmodas in to aux add a $10 jam box from Amazon and the volume and over all sound are amplified. You cant do that with the nuras because of the cord. The nuras has absolutely NO sound leak which is nice. And they are comfortable but I wouldnt use them for much gym stuff. Over all the nuras are better than bose, but bose doesnt ser rhe bar very high. You want mind bending deep, full, rich bass? Get the skullcandy 360. You want great over all sound? Vmodas or the master &dynamics mw50+ . Those two have incredible sound, build, comfortable, and more importantly to me... VOLUME!! the sonys xm3 sound great! But the volume just wasnt what I wanted. I like it loud in the gym, gets me pumped!
Thanks for the comparison bud, I've been leaning towards the Sony 1000xm3's and with this vid I feel confident enough to want to buy them. (Just have to wait for Best Buy or Amazon to re-stock lol)
After having the nuras for a week, I REALLY like them, they sound great and ANC and passthrough talk work amazing! With that said, what good is a personalized EQ if every time you run it it comes out differently? It produces non repeatable results..
Loved this video! Exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you for be the first guy reviewing these two headphones. I liked and subscribed with notifications on! Let me know which one you will keep. And throw those old Beyblades. Haha
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah i got rid of the nuraphones. Its only good if your stationary and just sitting down. If your laying down, walking or god firbid u workout with it, its very uncomfortable. Basically after you set up your profile and hear what it has to offer, the novelty wears out quick. The case is sturdy and beautiful but its so huge that it really takes up space and effort to carry along with you.
Hey BoltzNBulletz, I wish you'd recognise you went into this review with a (heavy) bias towards the Sony's already, I mean, you wasting (our) time complaining about the Nura's software upgrade time? Something you only do once and clearly didn't go well for you (mine took 15 minutes). Where's Sony's software upgrade? Oh yeah, they don't (upgrade). Nuraphones pre G2 upgrade are/were sh**, it's incredible what a software upgrade can do. I own both as well, so please don't think I'm biased towards Nura's. You also make a lot of valid points, but your comparison seems completely off at some points, like treating the immersion as if it were on and off, when there's a whole range you can dial, so I just wanted to leave my (slight) protest here for everybody to see. And since hearing is such a personal thing, my recommendation to anyone is: try the Nura's, you can return them if they don't blow your mind, like they should. Plus, they have the best noise cancelling, hands down, they handle multiple devices like butter and you can buy smaller ear tips (shouldn't they come included? yeah, I know, costly too). You didn't even mention the most annoying thing about the Nura's, something I can't even understand why they did it in this day and age: proprietary charging cable. Otherwise perfect for the best sound experience.
You have good points man. I hear you. Giving the Nuras as the better noise cancelling is debatable though. To me the Sonys are the clear better one on that category... for everything else, i definitely agree.
Daniel Fonseca And the reason they did not use regular more widely available charging cables is because of the vast variety of bad quality that are out there because not only do they charge the phones, but you can also use them directly from your PC to listen to music. There are so many USB cables out there that when used with Windows 10, they don’t even recognise the devices that you are trying to connect to them.
Review is all over the place. The Nuraphone sound quality blows the others away from a great height. I've had the £300 Bose for a couple of years and the Nuraphone is so far ahead it's not even close. Only problem is they don't fold.
Man I wished I really had the Sony Xm3's.. some people say the nuraphones is like putting on a wrong size of shoes.. and I have mild permanent tinnitus so I don't think they'll be good for me..
I have both headphones, the Sony 1000mx3 and the B&W PX. SOUND: However, I intend to say that B&W has a more intense bass, and Sony has a more BOOOMMM bass! Did I make myself understand? After listening a techno music at high volume, the results in my head were different: With the Sony 1000mx3 I kept my head vibrating. With the B&W PX I got my head to echo inside! The B&W PX bass comes in inside the head, and the Sony 1000mx3 vibrates the outside of the head. Different results for different tastes. I prefer the Bass of the B&W PX, more real and penetrating, like a punch in the head. Sony sounds a little artificial (comparing with the B&W PX) In addition, the B&W PX volume is higher. When it reaches the volume limit on the Sony 1000mx3, the B&W still has another 20% to add. Without a doubt, the sound of the B&W PX is superior, more defined and more elegant. I say this without any tendency, because I bought both. Do not forget the following: B&W is a company dedicated exclusively to sound, equipping high-end cars like Ferrari, BMW's etc. Sony produces a wide variety of things, from mobile phones to microwaves. B&W is a lady of sound quality, because she dedicates himself exclusively to this. COMFORT: With regard to comfort, the Sony 1000mx3 are more comfortable, nor giving almost by the presence of them in the head. 👍👍👍 However, while the B&W PXs are less comfortable, the ears stay free inside the earpiece, being cooler and not causing perspiration. The Sony 1000mx3 ears do not have space inside the headphones, and make them perspire on hotter days. Unsustainable in summer days, much less to walk down the street on sunny days. 👎 The quality of construction is top notch in the B&W PX. All in aluminum, and genuine leather. It costs € 400 in Europe but pays for the elegance and quality of construction. 👍 The Sony 1000mx3 is all in plastic and synthetic skin. In Europe costs € 380, but it seems that we are buying plastic.👎 However the Sony are lighter and therefore more comfortable. 👍 NOISE CANCELLATION: The Sony 1000mx3 has a perfect noise cancellation, it looks like you put your head inside a vacuum chamber. Perfect! 👍👍👍 The B&W PX though reasonable in noise cancellation, but are far from the Sony 1000mx3. Android/ Apple APPLICATION: With respect to the Android application to control the headphones, the Sony is perfect, as well as the indicator sounds in your own language. The B&W PX are just beeps. 👎👎👎 The B&W PX application only serves to control the level of noise reduction (which is best to keep it OFF), and to control the system to pause the music when you remove the B&W PX from your ears (which works at 80%). The app for B&W PX is terribly basic 👎👎👎 CONCLUSION? Comparing these headphones to a women, I would say: That the Sony are that kind of woman, very devoted to home and children, but a little less beautiful and more chubby. The B&W PX is that a elegant woman, very pretty, but untidy woman at home. So, if you prefer the ugly and dedicated woman at home, you will always look at the beautiful woman. If you prefer the elegant and beautiful woman, you go and wash your dishes at home. You choose. 😁😁😎 I prefer the B&W PX, although I know it does not have all those features that would do it great. I'm more of a fan of B&W PX's aesthetic and sound elegance. If you choose B&W PX you will make a good choice, but sacrificing some aspects of the Sony 1000mx3 that would make music even more enjoyable. If you buy Sony, you're just one more who bought a headset for €350. If you buy B & W, whoever watches you knows that you like not just music but sound quality. Some of the "business" websites that do the comparatives, seem to give 100% preference to Sony, but gave me the impression of sponsorship by Sony. 😀😀😀 Because everyone knows Sony, and a lot of people have never heard of Bowers & Wilkins, only sound connoisseurs know it. Thus, Sony is more mediated, and ends up having a control of public opinion, and obviously creates a subconscious tendency by Sony, even some of youtubers who make these comparatives . If you are young, and like techno, buy a Sony. But if you are over 40 years old, and want to make up for the lack of youth with charm, buy B&W PX 😎👍 . .
Tbh I don’t really know why ur comparing these to the m50x, or generally why people buy them for listening to music.. they’re studio headphones, that’s why they sound so flat!
I've had the sony xm2... I have the xm3's and I love them... and I've got the nuraphones on order and I cant wait to try them out..... I use the xm3,s every single day for hours on end so hopefully the nuras will be my daily headphones.... (UPDATE: Nuras are way better)
I'm also planning on buying either of these. I am leaning towards nuraphone due to sound quality and bass. I'll be using it for commuting and walks, is it really that bad when on the move? Sound quality wise is nura a 5 and sony a 4?
The nuraphones is a gamble. just because the nuraphones prescribes you your personal hearing needs it doesnt guarantee youll like what it formulates for you. I was personally underwhelmed of the profile it gave me. It was good, but not mind blowingly so. Maybe i was so excited and too hyped to what it could offer. Id recommend nuraphones strictly for critical listening and enjoying it while relaxed and seated. I would never recommend it taking it anywhere outside. The case ,although beautiful and sturdy, is very bulky and takes a lot of space. The headphones are of the heaviest ive worn. The eartips arent designed to be tight in ur ear canal as it relies the weight of the headphones itself to keep it in place... therefore when u walk around with it, you might feel like the eartips move and hump your ear canals as you stride. Probably worse if you were to run around with it. In my experience, its also uncomfortable to lay down with. The best redeeming quality of the nuraphones that i would miss dearly is how well it separates the boombastic bass from the mids and highs. You could crank up the bass to ridiculous skull-shaking levels and still preserve mid and high fidelity.
Audio technica m50x is like sound quality standard for any other headphones as most of the other costly wireless or wired headphones dont sound as good as m50x as i have tried that and m50x is purely awsome amd if you are saying that sony 1000xm3 sound almost as m50x then its a big win as i was always searching for headphones that sound like m50x but that should be wireless and sony has NC too so that is biggest plus.
For mobile phones listening, until this day, the m50x attached to an amp playing flac on my Samsung s9 at the highest volume possible is still the pinnacle experience of sound tripping for me. The 1000xm3 isnt that far behind though.
@@monobgantonina5577 M40 are too flat and dull for general liking and i am talking as daily user who wants to use the headphone with there smartphones on the go and can enjoy good quality sound and m50x do it in handsome way so i dont think m40s meant for everyone.
@@mahfoojkhan5707 only people who haven't tried a lot of different headphones think the m50s are good. There are better AND cheaper alternatives. The 50s are the most V shaped headphones I have ever listened to.
Ok, I am extremely surprised after watching to your video after watching all those Nuraphone reviews. There has been such high praise of the Nuraphones so I expected that they blow away the Sony 1000XM3. In my mind the Sonys are not that awesome. They are good, for wireless headphones, but that's it. That the Nuraphones don't easily beat them by sound quality without offering ANC is very interesting AND disappointing.
Both sound very good. But i feel like the sony has better bluetooth codec for hifi sound.... the nuras cant be beat for strong bass though... so if thats what u enjoy in hip hop and rock, try the nuras. But in my personal taste... i find the sony to be more balanced and closer to sounding hi-fi.
good review...I have nura n Sony but im into bass and more volumes so I go to NURA. When it comes to comfort of corz Sony will win because of those pillow headband n leathery earcap...but wait for 1 or 2 more years see what happens to that leather...it will peal off. Nura still have some improvement bcoz this is their first successful brand, try to create 3 personalized in NURa it might help , bcoz at first, your first hearing is kinda new to NURA sound so try 2 more personalized after using it in 2 days.
Yeah man, nothing compares to the Nura when it comes to bass power! I sure hope Nura stays i success so that they can build a better version. As for me, the Sonys are the more practical choice. Im fine with the leather degrading over time. No tech last forever. I dont workout or sweat in them too much so im hoping that will boost their longevity.
@@bryanarriesgado bro can i change the sony leather bands??? if they ripped off.?? and what about the bass of sony?? i want something which can blow my mind away
@@staypositive1053 i know for sure that the xm2 earpads can be replaced. Im not sure if these do but most likely they do. Im not about to try it just to find out in risk of breaking it just yet.
@@staypositive1053 sound quality on the nura will depend whatever it prescribes you... but in theory it should diagnose what frequencies your sensitive and deficient to and puts it into a balance so that you can hear everything well... so in paper: nuraphones will always win. But it does this automatically and you have no say in it.
These Sony 1000xM3 are 47 ohms Headphones, will the sound be even better with a portable amp like Fiio Q1 Mark 2(Wired Obviously) ? .. but If there is difference like how noticeable is it ? Like is it 30% more better or 40% .
I rented the nuraphones for a few months . I have the nuraloop now which I prefer. The Sony's I have had for a couple of years and they are definitely better then the nuraphones . Not knocking the nuraphones but a level below and the anc is poor. The anc on nuraloop is better. Sweaty ears on the nuraphones but they sound best listening to Netflix movies really great effects. The Sony's on music easily better.
Just tried on the Nurophone in shop.. WOW!!!!!! also nuro sound is not as loud when sitting next to someone where as sonys people can hear your music!! For me thats what i like about nuros
Hey, I heard the with the Nuraphone needs the to run the profile calibration several times to get right. Once it does get right (ie. you find the perfect sounding profile for you after some calibration attempts) it sounds fantastic. Can you comment? How many times have you ran the calibration? How much Did you find a difference in between attempts? Thanks.
I didnt do an exact count but I ran the profile somewhere between 5-10 times. Yes, there are times it gave me a slightly different profile and i guess it matter on how quiet your environment is when it builds your profile and im also guessing that if u swallow ur saliva while it does it also changes the profile coz the ear pressure changes when u do that. If you have nothing to compare it with, they will sound very good and you will most likely be happy with them. In my case i bought another headphone to compare side by side and after weighing the pros and cons i decided that i wanted portability, features and comfort from the Sonys.
@@bryanarriesgado Thank you for the response. I have a Grado SR325 at home for critical listening. I wanted something wireless for convenience to use mostly within the house and occasionally on trains/flights. These are said to have good bass without muddying up the mids/highs with good imaging so I m considering these. They have been said to sound as good as 400$ headphones but your comparison with the AT 169$ headphones suggests otherwise. Have you heard the Audeze Moebius?
@@velmuruganbalasubramanian9804 yes ive heard of them but its not as heavily reviewed as the 1000xm3. My critical listening cans are the Sennheiswe HD6XX on a Schiit Modi3 (DAC)-Loki2 (EQ)-Magni3(Amp) stack. If your looking for portability, the nuras are a drag. They are very bulky, and so is the case. The noise cancellation isnt as good and versitile as the sony or bose.
BoltzNBulletz Ohh great! I have the modi multibit and magni stack for my Grado as well! Another quick question. I have read that the nuraphones sound a lot better through aux from a dedicated DAC/amp even rivaling proper wired headphones ~300$(Though it defeats the purpose of portability). Have you had a chance to test that?
Never understood why people like Sony headphones they are muddy with no detail try a real pair of headphones and see what the difference is you won’t believe it, instead of all these cheap gimmicky ones
![Best Premium Headphones 2024 [Tested & Compared!] - AirPods Max vs Bose vs Sony vs Sennheiser..](/img/n.gif)
I've got both and nuraphones are light years ahead
really? i think Sony's don't sound that great and my nuraphones are over priced. EQ thingy sounds like a gimmick
so what im hearing is that the sonys (which i possess) are better in terms of comfortability and travelling but nuraphones are just good in terms of sound quality (which is a big deal for me). The sonys arent a bad choice if you use it for travelling but if sound is your main objective, the nuraphones are the better option.
glad you made this comparison bro, it helps a lot. I was torn between m50xbt and mx3...now I am able to make a decision...
thank you.

Can you please do a comparison between nuraphone and the XM4 that sony just announced ..... I can't figure out which one to get ...help pls
There exists now a bluetooth edition of the ATH-M50x. You should get them, they last for up to 40 hours
Tbh I don’t really know why ur comparing these to the m50x, or generally why people buy them for listening to music.. they’re studio headphones, that’s why they sound so flat!
I've had the sony xm2... I have the xm3's and I love them... and I've got the nuraphones on order and I cant wait to try them out..... I use the xm3,s every single day for hours on end so hopefully the nuras will be my daily headphones....
(UPDATE: Nuras are way better)
Which are better
Can u decide which are better?
Definitely nuraphones hands down
I'm also planning on buying either of these. I am leaning towards nuraphone due to sound quality and bass. I'll be using it for commuting and walks, is it really that bad when on the move? Sound quality wise is nura a 5 and sony a 4?
The nuraphones is a gamble. just because the nuraphones prescribes you your personal hearing needs it doesnt guarantee youll like what it formulates for you. I was personally underwhelmed of the profile it gave me. It was good, but not mind blowingly so. Maybe i was so excited and too hyped to what it could offer.
Id recommend nuraphones strictly for critical listening and enjoying it while relaxed and seated. I would never recommend it taking it anywhere outside.
The case ,although beautiful and sturdy, is very bulky and takes a lot of space.
The headphones are of the heaviest ive worn.
The eartips arent designed to be tight in ur ear canal as it relies the weight of the headphones itself to keep it in place... therefore when u walk around with it, you might feel like the eartips move and hump your ear canals as you stride. Probably worse if you were to run around with it.
In my experience, its also uncomfortable to lay down with.
The best redeeming quality of the nuraphones that i would miss dearly is how well it separates the boombastic bass from the mids and highs. You could crank up the bass to ridiculous skull-shaking levels and still preserve mid and high fidelity.
@@bryanarriesgado thanks for the input @BoltzNBullez
Thanks! You really helped me with my purchase decision
What did you choose?
Audio technica m50x is like sound quality standard for any other headphones as most of the other costly wireless or wired headphones dont sound as good as m50x as i have tried that and m50x is purely awsome amd if you are saying that sony 1000xm3 sound almost as m50x then its a big win as i was always searching for headphones that sound like m50x but that should be wireless and sony has NC too so that is biggest plus.
For mobile phones listening, until this day, the m50x attached to an amp playing flac on my Samsung s9 at the highest volume possible is still the pinnacle experience of sound tripping for me. The 1000xm3 isnt that far behind though.
Ahah everyone who is serious about audio knows the m50s are shit. Even the m40s are better. Way to completely discredit your opinion
@@monobgantonina5577 M40 are too flat and dull for general liking and i am talking as daily user who wants to use the headphone with there smartphones on the go and can enjoy good quality sound and m50x do it in handsome way so i dont think m40s meant for everyone.
@@mahfoojkhan5707 only people who haven't tried a lot of different headphones think the m50s are good. There are better AND cheaper alternatives.
The 50s are the most V shaped headphones I have ever listened to.
Try the master &dynamics mw50+ or the vmodas crossfade 2. These two headphones have blown me away.
Ok, I am extremely surprised after watching to your video after watching all those Nuraphone reviews. There has been such high praise of the Nuraphones so I expected that they blow away the Sony 1000XM3. In my mind the Sonys are not that awesome. They are good, for wireless headphones, but that's it. That the Nuraphones don't easily beat them by sound quality without offering ANC is very interesting AND disappointing.
The nuraphones do have ANC as of the latest software update.
Which one sounds better when you're listening to hip hop and rock
Both sound very good. But i feel like the sony has better bluetooth codec for hifi sound.... the nuras cant be beat for strong bass though... so if thats what u enjoy in hip hop and rock, try the nuras. But in my personal taste... i find the sony to be more balanced and closer to sounding hi-fi.
good review...I have nura n Sony but im into bass and more volumes so I go to NURA. When it comes to comfort of corz Sony will win because of those pillow headband n leathery earcap...but wait for 1 or 2 more years see what happens to that leather...it will peal off. Nura still have some improvement bcoz this is their first successful brand, try to create 3 personalized in NURa it might help , bcoz at first, your first hearing is kinda new to NURA sound so try 2 more personalized after using it in 2 days.
Yeah man, nothing compares to the Nura when it comes to bass power! I sure hope Nura stays i success so that they can build a better version. As for me, the Sonys are the more practical choice. Im fine with the leather degrading over time. No tech last forever. I dont workout or sweat in them too much so im hoping that will boost their longevity.
@@bryanarriesgado bro can i change the sony leather bands??? if they ripped off.?? and what about the bass of sony?? i want something which can blow my mind away
@@staypositive1053 i know for sure that the xm2 earpads can be replaced. Im not sure if these do but most likely they do. Im not about to try it just to find out in risk of breaking it just yet.
@@bryanarriesgado how about the sound quality?? bass..
@@staypositive1053 sound quality on the nura will depend whatever it prescribes you... but in theory it should diagnose what frequencies your sensitive and deficient to and puts it into a balance so that you can hear everything well... so in paper: nuraphones will always win. But it does this automatically and you have no say in it.
I agree. My vmodas sound better than the nuras. The bass on the nuras is a lot like the skullcandy crushers. Not the 360s.
These Sony 1000xM3 are 47 ohms Headphones, will the sound be even better with a portable amp like Fiio Q1 Mark 2(Wired Obviously) ? .. but If there is difference like how noticeable is it ? Like is it 30% more better or 40% .
Agree with you Sony the winner .best headphone I ever use so comfortable and very good sound quality.
Hey man, what is your favorite pair of headphones? Thanks!
m50x or xm3 in terms of sound clarity and details?
MONERISplayz probably m50x as they are studio headphones. General music experience is better on the xm3 though
I rented the nuraphones for a few months . I have the nuraloop now which I prefer. The Sony's I have had for a couple of years and they are definitely better then the nuraphones . Not knocking the nuraphones but a level below and the anc is poor. The anc on nuraloop is better. Sweaty ears on the nuraphones but they sound best listening to Netflix movies really great effects. The Sony's on music easily better.
i'm coming from the jbl everest elite 300, which of these would be an upgrade?
You definitely should include m50x in caption
Just tried on the Nurophone in shop.. WOW!!!!!!
also nuro sound is not as loud when sitting next to someone where as sonys people can hear your music!! For me thats what i like about nuros
They do have almost or NO sound leak.
Hey, I heard the with the Nuraphone needs the to run the profile calibration several times to get right. Once it does get right (ie. you find the perfect sounding profile for you after some calibration attempts) it sounds fantastic. Can you comment? How many times have you ran the calibration? How much Did you find a difference in between attempts? Thanks.
I didnt do an exact count but I ran the profile somewhere between 5-10 times. Yes, there are times it gave me a slightly different profile and i guess it matter on how quiet your environment is when it builds your profile and im also guessing that if u swallow ur saliva while it does it also changes the profile coz the ear pressure changes when u do that. If you have nothing to compare it with, they will sound very good and you will most likely be happy with them. In my case i bought another headphone to compare side by side and after weighing the pros and cons i decided that i wanted portability, features and comfort from the Sonys.
@@bryanarriesgado Thank you for the response. I have a Grado SR325 at home for critical listening. I wanted something wireless for convenience to use mostly within the house and occasionally on trains/flights. These are said to have good bass without muddying up the mids/highs with good imaging so I m considering these. They have been said to sound as good as 400$ headphones but your comparison with the AT 169$ headphones suggests otherwise. Have you heard the Audeze Moebius?
@@velmuruganbalasubramanian9804 yes ive heard of them but its not as heavily reviewed as the 1000xm3. My critical listening cans are the Sennheiswe HD6XX on a Schiit Modi3 (DAC)-Loki2 (EQ)-Magni3(Amp) stack.
If your looking for portability, the nuras are a drag. They are very bulky, and so is the case. The noise cancellation isnt as good and versitile as the sony or bose.
BoltzNBulletz Ohh great! I have the modi multibit and magni stack for my Grado as well! Another quick question. I have read that the nuraphones sound a lot better through aux from a dedicated DAC/amp even rivaling proper wired headphones ~300$(Though it defeats the purpose of portability). Have you had a chance to test that?
@@velmuruganbalasubramanian9804 sadly i havent...
So, Which one sounds better? Man I'm confused. Is it Sony or Nura?
Yes.
Never understood why people like Sony headphones they are muddy with no detail try a real pair of headphones and see what the difference is you won’t believe it, instead of all these cheap gimmicky ones
Like what? Give some examples!
@@Ftw59ttp Focal Utopia?
Sounds like a generalization
How are nuraphones for working out?
Which ones are louder?
Definitely nuraphones
@@Ayrion2012 thank you
Nice
Watching with my ath😋
Do you know which ones are the loudest?
Nuraphones bass will rattle your brains if u let it
@@bryanarriesgado thank you!

The headphones in the middle (audio technica) look like a fake toy. Very gamer like so diff from elegant look
The Sony 1000XM3 blows the Nuraphones away in every way.
True Sony garbage
Sony WH-1000XM3 is the best
