It's possible to see some of the inner workings such as the circuit boards and magnets involved, and it looks pretty cool. The only parts you can't see through are the housing of the earbuds and the bottom of the charging case. If you want earphones that look different from the rest, these are the ones to go with.īoth the earbuds and charging case are nearly entirely see-through. The Nothing Ear (1) are designed in a truly distinctive way. Well priced at $100 / £100 / AU$150, you finally get good noise cancellation, decent audio, and a mostly reliable connection. Overall, the Nothing Ear (1) are a step forward after last year's attempt. Crucially, ANC means you don't actually hear what's going on around you anymore.īattery life has taken a hit here with us getting about four hours from one charge with ANC on and the volume at a middling level, but with the wireless charging case, you should get up to 34 hours when it's switched off.Ĭonnectivity is improved too, thanks to the use of Bluetooth 5.2 - but don't count on any multipoint support here. This time around, Nothing's collaboration with Swedish audio company Teenage Engineerings seems to be shining through. The audio performance has been improved too, with a far stronger soundstage than anticipated. It's as convenient as you would expect and, in conjunction with the Nothing Ear (1)'s ever responsive touch controls, sure to be useful during walks or workouts. It's a cool looking concept even if we're not sure how often anyone peers adoringly at their earbuds.Īlso, there's now voice assistant support, courtesy of a firmware update. Their unique transparent design suits a black casing better than its white version did.
So, these aren't perfect earbuds just yet, but there's a lot more to like.
