The Headphones That Adjust to the Anatomy of Your Ears

I’m always on the lookout for new headphones in some kind of misguided quest for perfect sound. The biggest inherent problem is that everyone perceives sound differently, so a set of headphones that sounds good to me might sound like crap to you. It has nothing to do with the equipment; it’s that everyone’s ears are different.

That’s why I’m really interested in these new headphones called Nura. They apparently can analyze how anyone’s ears react to any sound and then adjust the audio accordingly. It takes about 30 seconds to set up and when the test is over, the headphones—and all the music—is optimized exactly for your ears. Take a look at the video and then read what Gizmag has to say.
