A bit tangential, does anyone here have any thoughts/comments/reviews about the Nura[0] headphones?

From what I understand, they put a microphone next to the speaker to measure your ear’s response to sound. Based on that, a companion software builds a personalized sound profile, which then allows the headphones to auto-equalize the sound to the specifics of your ears.

Do they make a big difference? Are they worth it? How do they compare to other headphones?

I haven’t tried the Nura but I’m a bit skeptical because a microphone is another digital “thing” that can be good or bad in measure the sound, and I don’t think the quality of a micro microphone is superb. So I prefer to rely on my ears but surely for “not trained” ear is not a bad thing to understand how really a (headphone) tip works compared to the bigger or smaller.

Apple’s AirPods Pro and Max do the same thing, but they don’t have any settings you can tinker with. They’re for measuring fit and seal.
