In the ever-expanding realm of earbuds, Nothing emerges as a prominent player with its latest offerings: the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a), priced at $149 and $99, respectively, these earbuds mark Nothing’s foray into its fourth and fifth products in the headphone category. Despite the iterative nature, both models maintain the distinctive design introduced in 2021, prioritizing enhancements in day-to-day performance.
The flagship Nothing Ear receives subtle yet impactful upgrades. It boasts tweaked sound profiles, extended battery life, and a new Bass Enhance setting for added low-end depth. Meanwhile, the more budget-friendly Nothing Ear (a) introduces a splash of color in a vibrant yellow hue reminiscent of the playful Playdate.
Despite their differing price points, both models share similarities in functionality. They feature robust active noise cancellation, IP54 dust and water resistance, and improved voice call performance. The Ear also offers wireless charging and advanced audio fidelity, incorporating a ceramic diaphragm for enhanced richness and customizable sound profiles through the Nothing X app.
