Our Verdict
Nura Nuraphone Wireless
Nura NuraLoop Wireless
The Nura NuraLoop Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Nura Nuraphone Wireless. The NuraLoop are much more portable thanks to their in-ear design, feel a lot more stable in the ear, and have a better-balanced default sound profile. They also come with an analog audio cable that connects to their proprietary charging port, and they have a significantly better ANC feature. On the other hand, the Nuraphone have a much better battery life and are more comfortable.
