Our Verdict
Beats Studio3 Wireless
Nura Nuraphone Wireless
The Beats Studio3 Wireless are better mixed-use headphones than the Nura Nuraphone Wireless. The Beats are more comfortable, and they also come with an audio cable and an in-line microphone, which the Nura lacks inside the box. On the other hand, the personalization feature of the Nura is a unique experience you can’t get on the Beats headphones. The Nura also offer a longer battery life than the Beats.
