Are These The Best Headphones Ever? Nura: Australia Meet Kickstarter
Here’s the pitch: Everyone has a different ability to hear different musical frequencies. So there are whole sections of music on your favourite song that you just cannot hear well.
Melbourne inventors Dr Luke Campbell, 30, and Kyle Slater, 29, claim to have invented a pair of headphones that can detect your personal hearing signature and adapt the sound of the music you’re playing so you hear every element of the song. They collected about 500000 Euros on Kickstarter and call the wonderful device Nura.
Our ears are constantly making a tiny sound in response to the sound they receive, too faint to be heard by humans. Let that sink in for a moment (it’s called an otoacoustic emission).
The Nura comes with a tiny microphone in the cup. When you first put the cans on it runs a quick frequency-detection test, like something you might do at an audiologist’s clinic. The Nura listens to the ears’ own sound as it plays the test, calculating the ability of the ear to hear each frequency.
The headphones are slated to ship April 2017. The proof, as always, will be in the pudding.
Get it? If not pls. watch the video:

Love Letter To Singapore – Time Lapse by Keith Loutit
The Lion City II – Majulah is a photographic love letter to Singapore; actually, love novel might be more appropriate. A time-lapse overflowing with creative camera work brought together with brilliant editing, it’s not an understatement to say photographer Keith Loutit just raised the timelapse bar. Several years in the making – it was all worth it. TrendEngel is not a major fan of Singapore as a City – but this is certainly very beautiful. This is what Keith says:
When we pass by landscapes they appear fixed in time, but they change around us constantly. The idea behind this film is to reveal this change by returning to the same camera positions over the years.
