Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Nothing Ear 1
11.6mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue 10mm
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Nothing Ear 1
20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20Hz
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Nothing Ear 1
20000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20000Hz
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Nothing Ear 1
✗
Nuraphone NuraTrue 108dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
