Which is better for damaged or dyed hair?

Both cap at 100°C and use ionic technology, and reviewers say the original Supersonic protects dyed and damaged hair well. The Nural adds sensors that lower heat near the scalp, which helps if you worry about scalp heat.

Is the Nural worth the extra over the Supersonic?

It is not extra right now: the Nural is $209.99 at ShopSimon versus $250.00 at eBay for the original as of November 6, 2026. The Nural gives you scalp sensors and a case for less.

The original Supersonic has a longer public track record, so its reliability is better documented. The Nural is newer, so long-term durability data is thinner, though it shares the same core design.

Do the attachments fit both?

Yes. The Nural accepts older Supersonic attachments, and both ship with five. You can carry attachments between them.

Can I use either one overseas?

No. Neither is dual voltage; the Supersonic is 127 V and the Nural is 120 V. You would need a voltage converter abroad.

Reviewers call the original Supersonic quiet compared with older dryers. The Nural uses the same motor and airflow design, so expect similar noise.
