Conclusions:

I found these reviews most heartening. I’ve been listening to a lot of Bluetooth earphones and earbuds in recent months, and most of them have been good enough... for podcasts. I would only listen to music through them as a very last resort. I was starting to wonder if perhaps my own judgement had somehow gone off trend.

But these headphones reassured me that high quality sound from headgear is available, and in some cases at surprisingly affordable prices. And that my sense of right and wrong in headphone sound is neither unreasonable nor uncatered for.

From among these, the clear winner for Bluetooth is of course the only Bluetooth model amongst them! The Nuraphone headphones are indeed fascinating, also, in what they’re doing. The result is sound quality at least as good as other Bluetooth headphones of a comparable price. Indeed, a bit better than most.

Price will partly govern choice, of course, but the Blue Ella headphones deliver

extremely good sound quality pretty much regardless of the amplifier or source that you’re using. They win out here for quality that doesn’t depend on the source.

But if I could choose a suitable source to go with them, I’d make the Beyerdynamic Amiron Home headphones my own. Stephen Dawson
