  • Outstanding Sound and Comfort — Totally Worth It!
Color: Black
The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are incredible! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, rich bass and crisp highs — easily on par with much more expensive models. The 45dB hybrid noise cancelling really blocks out background noise, making them perfect for commuting, workouts, or just relaxing. They’re super comfortable to wear for long periods, and the sleek black design looks modern and stylish. I also love the dual connect feature — switching between my phone and laptop is seamless. Battery life is impressive too; I get days of use with the 42.5-hour total playtime. These earbuds deliver premium performance at a great price. If you want great sound, long battery life, and top-notch noise cancellation, the Nothing Ear (a) is a must-buy! ... show more

  • Great Bluetooth Earphones, My Favorites So far!
Color: White
Great Bluetooth earphones! If you are looking for comfortable fit, great sound quality, and good mic for calls this is the pair for you. I have had my eyes on these earphones for a while and bought them when they were one sale. Totally worth it! The quality of these are great. They sound great right out of the box, hardly had to mess with any of the EQ settings in the app. So it was surprising just how well everything sounded once I started using them. More Thoughts: I'm not a professional audio reviewer or hardcore audiophile, so this is just coming from an high quality audio enjoyer. I will also have some comparisons to the Jabra Elite 7 Pros that I've used. Sound Quality: I really love the sound of the Nothing Earphones, music sounds bass-y and punchy, if you listen to rock or music with a deeper or more intense sound, these handle that great. I listen to a lot of different genres and all of them sound really clear and balanced without touching the EQ settings. I haven't messed with them a lot myself but you have a couple presets and the ability to set your own. Personally I haven't felt the need to since the sound is so high quality and clear to start with. If you like to listen to your music loud they handle them easily without making your ears or head hurt. Definitely my favorite sounding pair of earphones I have experienced. Mic quality: I used a pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pros for over 2 years as my daily earphones for music and videos that were priced at $140 USD when I first purchased them that were great but after two years they needed an upgrade. A complaint I always had with the Jabras was the mic quality for calls, my voice was always too low or muffled, but with the Nothing earphones my voice is so much clearer and I have even had people comment how loud I sound using them! So they are great for calls. On the receiving end voice you are are really clear with hardly any background noise coming through. ANC (Active Noise Canceling): The ANC on the Nothing Earphones are fantastic. In the app there are a few different options: low, medium, high, and adaptive. The default is high, and it makes it feel like you are in your own world. Once you are playing music or a video almost all the outside noise disappears. I work in an office at a marine so sometimes voices or heavy machinery comes through but at such a low volume you hardly register it. Though I might have to give the edge to my Jabras with just how much more consistent the ANC is on them especially when you have a good fit. Great ANC but not best out there. Transparency: The transparency mode is not as good as the Jabra, I find that any music you may be playing can drown out any noise or voices you want to come through. It, in my opinion, doesn't let enough sounds through when you are at medium volume or louder especially if you find yourself talking a lot with them in. So if what you are playing isn't too loud its fine. Controls/Buttons: The buttons on the stems of the earphones function off of pinches, it is not your typical press or touch buttons. It takes a bit to get used to especially if you are used to a tactile press button like on Jabra products. But the accuracy of the pinches/controls is great. I haven't had it do something I didn't intended. Also the range of custom options for the buttons is great with you being able to change them to whatever scheme you want. The only thing you can't change is the Play/pause button. But I was happy to be able to change the buttons functions to what I needed them to be, which a bit more than I could say for the Jabras. Fit: The ear tips that the Nothing earphones come with are very comfortable and fit really nicely. I typically use the smallest tips that an earphone comes with, anything bigger usually falls out or pushes itself out of my ear, but the medium size that comes on them fit surprisingly great for me. I did switch to the smaller ones for comfort but I can't complain about the larger size. You get three sizes with these earphones: small, medium, and large. The material feels really nice in the ear as well. And the overall shape of the earphones feels great in the ear, just sits comfortable inside, sometimes I can forget they are even there, and the stems are no bother. Battery/Charging: The case and the earphones charge really fast and the indicator light on the case is nice way to tell the charge level. They come with a very short usb-c to usb-c cable that charges the case so quickly, especially with the right adapter. Charge much faster than the Jabra case and earphones. The battery life on the Nothing earphones is pretty great for 8 hour work days. And the case charge lasts me an entire week or more. If you are using the ANC or Transparency modes it does tank the life quite a bit, as with most earphones. The most I have had them last while using ANC on High nonstop is about 5 hours, which to me is pretty good. And once you put them in the case to charge you can definitely get an entire day out of them using ANC. Without ANC you can go through most of a day, maybe 10-12 hours or more of use. My jabras perform quite identically but the charge on them doesn't last as long after in the case for 10 minutes. Conclusion: There are probably things I've missed or things other people notice, but to the average person these earphones come at a great price and provide you with insanely great quality across the board. The mic alone makes this a worth while purchase. But the sound is smooth, crispy, and clear when you need it to be. My favorite set of earphones I've bought myself so far. They are definitely my go to daily drivers. ... show more

  • No these are great earbuds and a very fair price.
Color: Black
I had bought one prior to this and it didn’t work. The right ear was not working. They refunded my money and I bought another one and this one has worked great I’m still using it. It has not had any problems. The only thing I wish is that the app had some more sound options but other than that, the sound qualities is pretty darn good and it is the first earbuds that I’ve had that I like. The fit is good. It comes with several other covers for the buds. They fit my ear well and it’s comfortable. It can connect to different devices easily. ... show more

  • Nothing really wrong here
Color: Black
Worth every penny. Just to preface, I am a skeptical tech nerd. I love a good set of earbuds and have relied on sony or airpod pro tws buds for a while now. Recently my just out of warranty airpod pros had a run in with some spilled nail polish remover and called it quits. I didnt want to blow the full msrp on some new ones so the research rabbit hole began. I had narrowed ny choices down to a few sub 150 models. Anker, cmf pros, marshall, sony and the dreaded beats were my final choices until I ran into these randomly. I like Nothing products but to me they all just seem niche. Something about these made me take the plunge and im glad I did. While not perfect I dont miss my air pod pros very much. THE PROS- Sound is very good. Not audiofile studio monitor precision but a very pleasant sound signature once they are broken in. Before that 3-5 hour break in period bass is sloppy. But now its crisp and clean and not overstaurated. Battery life is excellent. I have not timed it but I have not had any negative impressions on battery life so far. Design - aesthetics are always a personal choice but man these look so cool to me. Im boring I got black but even these bring the style. And the yellows are just beautiful to me. Comfort. I like foam ear tips and I have a set installed now. But honestly the standard tips are very comfortable and isolating THE CONS- app is not my fav Not being part of the apple ecosystem does make things less streamlined but does not affect functionality. The plastic in the case seems cheap to the touch. But no scratches or issues so far with normal daily use in a mans pocket with no protective case. No spatial audio. Overall I give these a 9/10 amazing value for money. Great sound when you tune it on the app to your liking. Good style, good noise cancelling and transparency modes( 80% of airpods quality on the anc but still good) very happy with them would recommend or upgrade to the next tier up. ... show more

  • My go to earbuds!
Color: Yellow
I’ve been using the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds for a while now, and I honestly love them. The sound quality is amazing — super clear with good bass, and they make everything from music to podcasts sound great. They’re also really affordable for what you get, which makes them even better. The design is clean and stylish, and the transparent look gives them a nice modern vibe. They fit comfortably and stay in place, even when I’m moving around. Overall, they’re just a solid pair of earbuds — great sound, great price, and great style. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for something that looks good and sounds even better. ... show more
