Nura Headphones Moves to Amber Technology
Nura, the Australian headphone brand that caught the world's attention shortly after its inception in 2016, has announced its range will now be distributed by Amber Technology in Australia.
In 2019, Nura co-founder Dr Luke Campbell received The Prime Minister's Prize for Science; Prize for New Innovators, for the development of nuraphone, which is uniquely tailored to enhance the clarity of the user's hearing.
Designed by a team of engineering, acoustics, biology and hearing science experts, the Nura team redesigned headphones to deliver a personalised listening experience for every user.
The multi-award-winning nuraphone design measures the user's hearing in less than 60 seconds via the nura app. It tunes the headphones by specifically obtaining the user's frequency response to sound wavelengths, delivering a personalised sound. Designed with two speakers on each side, the user hears every note and feels every beat. Intuitive controls let users manage tracks and volume at the touch of a button, while active noise cancellation (ANC) and social mode allow only the sounds the user wants to hear to break through.
The Nura business has rapidly grown and includes nuraphone, nurabuds and nuratrue earbuds, nuraloop wireless earphones, and accessories, all supported via the nura app. The brand is currently available through major retailers and selected musical instrument retailers.
Peter Amos, Amber Technology Managing Director, told StereoNET:
Nura is an interesting addition to the brands we represent in Australia and fits well across our broad portfolio of consumer electronics and professional audio products. We are excited to see what opportunities we can develop working together with the nura team.
StereoNET reviewed the nuraphone in 2019, declaring:
If noise-cancelling headphones were cars, then the B&W PX would be the BMW M3. The Bose NC700 would be the AMG A45 Mercedes, and the Nuraphone would absolutely be the Tesla.
nuraphone is also the official headphone supplier to the New Zealand All Blacks.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
