About this item

  • SMART ACTIVE NOICE CANCELLATION: Up to 45 db. Our strongest noise cancellation yet. Ear (a) automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbud and your ear canal, then applies more noise cancellation to make up for it. So you receive the best possible noise cancellation. Happens every time you put them in.
  • ChatGPT, INTEGRATED: Ask, listen and learn from ChatGPT on-the-go. A first-of-its-kind integration, made for your Nothing ecosystem. Only on Nothing earbuds when connected to Nothing phones. Available on Phone (2) and coming soon to Phone (1) and Phone (2a) via software updates. - VOICE CONTROL: Use your voice to access ChatGPT on Ear and Ear (a), wherever you are. Setup via the Nothing X app.
  • ADAPTIVE ANC: Next-level escapism. Switch between 3 levels of noise cancellation. Or let Ear (a) take control. By selecting 'Adaptive' in the Nothing X app, Ear (a) automatically applies the right level of noise cancellation according to your surroundings in real time, so you don't have to.
  • POWERFUL 11 MM DRIVER: Clear, rich, punchy.With double the power than Ear (2), Ear (a) delivers an even deeper bass performance. The extra space gives sound waves more room to vibrate. With two new vents, airflow is improved inside the bud. For less distortion and richer overall clarity.
  • BASS ENHANCE ALGORITHM: Ear (a) enhances low frequencies in your music in real-time, elevating bass-heavy sounds so that you can hear every detail - HI-RES WIRELESS AUDIO CERTIFIED: To protect sound details, Ear (a) is Hi-Res Audio Certified for playback up to 990kbps and frequencies up to 24 bit/96 kHz. Compatible with LDAC* codec for high-resolution streaming over Bluetooth. The result is a powerfully pure audio experience. Just how the artist intended. * Requires devices that support LDAC
  • UP TO 9.5 HOURS OF MUSIC: Ear (a) can deliver 40.5% more non-stop play time on a single charge - FAST CHARGE: Charge for 10 minutes and deliver 10 hours of music playback (with ANC turned off). -
  • CLEAR VOICE TECHNOLOGY: Clear as day. Ear (a) isolates your voice from everyday distractions so calls on-the-go feel like face-to-face conversations. With a new talk mic and extra airway on the stem for wind to pass through, we’ve reduced interference by 60% compared to Ear (2).

If your into Nothing products but don't need all the fancy EQ stuff and wireless charging, these are the ones you should get. I have many Nothing products, and I think this is one of, if not the best product they have released. Good job Nothing, these are worth every penny.

For my use plenty of battery and good call quality. I never use transparent mode just don’t need it so will not review this one. Overall, very solid pair of earbuds.

4.0 out of 5 stars ANC let's it down
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2024
Colour Name: WhiteStyle Name: EarVerified Purchase
Pros:

Excellent Sound Quality: The sound produced by these earbuds is surprisingly clear and well-balanced. The bass is deep without being overwhelming, and the highs are crisp.
Comfortable Fit: The earbuds come with different sizes of ear tips, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your ears. They stay securely in place, even during workouts.
Stable Bluetooth Connection: I haven't experienced any dropouts or connectivity issues while using these earbuds. The Bluetooth pairing process was quick and hassle-free.
Long Battery Life: The earbuds themselves hold a decent charge and can last for several hours of continuous use. The charging case also provides additional charges on the go.
Touch Controls: The touch-sensitive controls on the earbuds work well and are intuitive to use for adjusting volume, skipping tracks, or answering calls.

Cons:
However, there are a few drawbacks to consider before purchasing these earbuds:

Microphone Quality: The microphone could be better. While adequate for short calls, the voice quality during phone conversations is not as clear as I would like.
Limited Noise Isolation: The passive noise isolation provided by the earbud design is moderate. They don't completely block out loud external noises.
Overall Impression:
In summary, are a solid choice for anyone looking for affordable wireless earbuds with good sound quality and comfort. They are ideal for everyday listening and workouts, offering a stable Bluetooth connection and decent battery life. Just be aware of the microphone quality and noise isolation limitations if these factors are critical for your usage. For the price, these earbuds deliver a satisfying listening experience and are worth considering for casual users. However I returned mine because ANC is important to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The case survived a three-hour wash 🤯
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2024
Colour Name: BlackStyle Name: EarVerified Purchase
Sound really nice for the price, not very bassy but I've gotten used to that and now it's actually a really enjoyable sound signature to me. Love the wireless charging feature. The case is convenient, not the smallest, but still nicer than my momentum tw2 case. Anc and transparency mode could definitely be better.

What is insane is that I am writing this review after I took the case out of the washing machine after a 3-hour cycle. Not only was it closed and without a scratch, it works perfectly and charges the earbuds. Wireless charging also still intact. Mad. Glad I didn't put the earbuds themselves in, don't know if that would have made it worse. But I'm honestly stunned right now, kinda felt like the case was a little flimsy but it has proven to be built extremely well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value for Price in the headphone market
Reviewed in the United States on 12 July 2024
Colour Name: BlackStyle Name: Ear (a)Verified Purchase
Overall these headphones are super solid! For the price (I bought it for US$91 post-tax with coupons clipped) these are almost measuring up to AirPods Pro even while being cheaper than their base model. Overall sound quality is more-or-less comparable to AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, if not then maybe slightly worse. These are NOT the headphones for audiophiles, but that should be obvious for any Bluetooth set. These are really sleek-looking and sound decently well. Unlike AirPods, it does have universal support for in-ear detection and universal support for adaptive mode on ANC. Also, they have equalizer settings in the Nothing X app, which is also a really sleek, good-looking, and easy-to-use app. There are many other settings, including a dual connection option and a low-latency mode combined with several other great customization features.

Three main flaws (but they are minimal):
1. Great ANC (noise cancellation), BAD transparency. The transparency is not even in the same league as AirPods Pro transparency. I really do not like Apple as a company but their AirPods Pro are good (ignoring the price) I bought these to try to replace the AirPods Pros but unfortunately that's not going to happen due to the poor transparency mode. I plan to use these with my non-apple devices for audio because of the compatibility and in-ear detection.
2. "ChatGPT Integration" is not supported on any phone except the Nothing Phone 1, 2, and 2a. I tried using this with my Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro and after searching found that the ChatGPT integration is just the voice mode on the app but used as a shortcut and only for Nothing phones. This should definitely not be an issue if it was a true integration and even if it isn't, it should still be doable on at least Android devices. It is ignorable though because Gemini is available to use as the voice assistant on Android and Apple Inteligence is coming soon to iPhone.

Otherwise, it's perfect! It's easy to overlook the issues, so I just wanted to clarify that these are the only problems I saw. Otherwise these re best value for money true wireless earbuds!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value
Reviewed in the United States on 10 July 2024
Colour Name: WhiteStyle Name: EarVerified Purchase
Pros: Connectivity is great. Battery life great. Fantastic sound quality. Great app over all. I haven't really tried the equalizer because I'm very happy with the basic settings. Love the bass boost customization. Very easy to customize click option's on both buds. Very easy to answer a call or pause music with a simple click on the stem of either bud. Comfortable. Wireless charging from the case works great.

Cons: Noise Cancelling could definitely be better (not a deal breaker for me). When on a call, my daughter says it makes my voice sound a bit muffled.

These buds are a great value. I would definitely recommend.

En su momento me quería comprar los ear (1), pero estaban agotados, hace unos días tuve suerte y compré los últimos de esta publicación, son más de lo que esperaba.
La cone conexión con Android sucede desde que se abre el estuche, pasando con la opción inmediata de descargar la app, la cuál he dedecir que se integra muy bien.
La cancelación es adecuada a lo que determina el fabricante.
Tiene un amplio rango de configuraciones, realmente no necesito subir el volumen más allá de 1/3 para disfrutar de la música.
La configuración del ecualizador de 8 bandas es un buen acierto, cabe agregar que también se puede personalizar la configuración de los toques de cada audífono y se pueden usar independientemente.
No puedo comentar sobre la duración de la batería por que los estoy estrenando 😂.
Tienen un ajuste perfecto a los oidos y viene con varios tamaños de almohadillas, así como una función en la app para encontrar la que mejor se ajuste al oído.

Todo un descubrimiento. Buscaba unos auriculares pequeñitos para no tener que ir cargando a todas partes con los Sony WH, para un uso esporádico, y estaba muy preocupado por los graves (me gusta escuchas música con mucho bass). Estos Nothing son una maravilla. A parte de ser muy bonitos y originales, la duración de la batería es una pasada, llevo 4 días usándolos y aún no los he cargado. La calidad de audio es muy muy top. La conectividad super efectiva y comodísimos. Traen 3 juegos de diferentes tamaños de silicona, y la propia app te hace un estudio para ver cuál te conviene. Son super personalizables (que hacer con un click, con dos, con tres, ecualizadores predeterminados y a tu gusto...) no pesan nada de nada y en mi caso se adaptan a la perfección.
