So you receive the best possible noise cancellation. Happens every time you put them in. So you can go from quiet rooms to busy streets without hearing a thing (other than what's playing)
  • 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, weve reduced interference by 60% compared to Ear (2)

A Very Interesting Brand & Earbuds...Worth The Try!
Color: Yellow
I would preface that I'm more of a headphone guy (corded) versus the modern wireless earbuds so my review will be different. I started using wireless EBs about 9 months ago and I've purchased a set that was nice but lacked the "clarity" feel of the music/entertainment. So LOUD + UNCLEAR is a bad combo for me; and that was what I was experiencing w/ my 1st set of EBs. Nothing Ear caught my eye! I looked thru so many EBs and didn't want to spend $75 - $100 on earbuds; call me cheap. :) I understand the top tier are above $150 but I'm just using it for GYM and maybe for the phone convos. The Pros: 1. The color not to be cheesy is very nice! It's striking to the eye. 2. The earbuds feel premium. It has that high end techie feel to it and it's good that it is b/c I prefer to have the EBs hook around my ear so I thought these would fall off but they actually don't. 3. The box itself is really cool. It has magnets that clicks on to the earbuds and it charges pretty solid. Another thing, the box is light so you can put it in your pocket or bookbag or for women: purse and it goes along w/ out much weight added. 4. The most important is THE SOUND! These are one of the BEST (mid-tier PRICED) earbuds I've experienced. I've never used Bose or Beats by Dre but I have used JBL Headphones and those of you who knows about the cheaper headphone tier, JBL are one of the Best corded headphones w/ great Bass for the price. But these have an app where you can boost up the noise cancellation and Bass. I'm a huge fan of Bass but what separates this from the others even the corded ones is that this actually has great CLARITY. So the sounds and words you can hear with clarity and without delay. I was afraid at first to purchase these buds but after sifting thru reviews, it made sense to take the risk. The Cons: 1. The case for me I wish was bigger and the earbuds slightly bigger by a few inches. Just a preference. 2. Noise cancellation needs some few tweaks. But overall it's not bad at all esp at the price range. 3. I wish the earbuds or the case illustrate how much power it has left before it drains out. Last points, the price you can't really beat it and with the type of quality in terms of the sound especially the BASS that also has clearness / clarity makes this one a great product to have. This is my 2nd earbud purchase and I will not pay for the top tier priced ones above $150 at all. So for this price it works almost perfectly with all the noise cancellation options, customization thru the app and clear sound w/ BASS booster is one of the better experiences I've had esp since I go to the gym consistently. It's more than NOTHING. :) ... show more

After years of searching, my perfect ear bud has been found...
Color: Yellow
It's extremely rare that I give out a 5 star review for a tech product of any kind, but I honestly, trying to nitpick these would be reaching. Like. My only gripe is I wish the little charging case had a small hole on it to loop a Keychain through for easier carrying. Beyond that, these are the best earbuds I've personally owned. Let me put it in perspective with a breakdown of the issues I've had with ear buds over the years: I have sensory issues and am extremely sensitive to pressure on my ears/head. I can't wear over ear headphones without getting headaches. Ear buds I can tolerate much better but I have spent over a decade trying to find an ear bud that didn't just start slipping out of my ear or that wouldn't make my ears sore over time. My ears canal isn't exceptionally tiny but my outer ear is quite small and most ear buds simply didn't work. They were the wrong shape or just too large to fit in the ear opening and stay put unless I crammed them into my ear canal. But that doesn't work long term. Inevitably, I had to push the earbud back into place. Back in the days of wired buds this was a tolerable inconvenience. I was fine with that. I rocked the first Gen Bluetooth Bose ear buds, the ones connected by a wire to each other, for a couple years and they were tolerable but still constantly popped out of my ears. When true wireless came out having to adjust and push ear buds back in my ears became an intolerable frustration. I was constantly tripping the touch controls no matter how careful I was, and when you have to push earbuds back into place ever 15 to 20 minutes and you're pausing your music or accidentally hanging up on a call, it makes the buds feel pointless to have. I've tried pixel buds, JBL, skull candy, beats, Sony, JLab, on and on and none of them ever fit right. They were all slipping out no matter what I did and they inevitable made my ears hurt within an hour of wear. These don't do that. I can run on the treadmill, clean my house, do yoga, dance around, act a fool and these buds stay in place comfortably for hours. If I do need to make a minor readjustment, the physical click button on the stem means I don't accidentally pause my music or audio book anymore, and when I need to, it's a reliable, easy single click on the stem to adjust the noise canceling or pause my audio. The fact that the button is a physical one and has a nice little click to it is so satisfying. I miss fiddly technology. Stuff with buttons and dials. In a world full of Everything is Touch Navigated Now, a single clickable button is such a nice return to form. The form factor of these buds is lightweight, comfortable, and for the first time ever I don't feel like I'm fighting my headphones. The next thing is sound quality. I am kind of picky about sound quality and clarity. These things sound amazing. The equalizer that you can use in the app makes tweaking them to exactly what I want so easy. On top of that, the ANC has its own adjustability to filter high, mid, or low frequency noise, as well as an adaptive setting to suit my needs for any environment. The transparency mode isn't full of that scratchy noise I have come to expect from earbuds. It's crisp and clear with a very subtly, soft white noise that is actually pretty great for when I just need to combat my tinnitus but stay aware of my kiddo running around. The app has a lot of great features, including a find my buds feature if you should lose track of one or both of them, and that's minor gripe number 2. It'd be great if there was a find my buds feature for the charging case itself in case I misplace the whole thing, but having some kind of device location at all is still nice and not a necessity, just a perk. These headphones charge quickly and I've honestly never been in a situation where the headphones have died on me when I've been using them. The battery life is solid I've used them with ANC on for 3 to 4 hours at a time. The app gives you a readout of the individual batter life of each headphone so you know at a glance when you're getting low, but I've yet to have them dip below 25% during heavy use. The case charges by usb c, which is nice. It charges pretty quickly, too. I liked these so much I bought a pair for my girlfriend who is equally sensitive and has had the same issues as I have with ear buds in the past. She lives in noise canceling buds to help her focus and avoid overstimulation and she too, agrees that these are so comfortable and fit so well that she forgets they're in sometimes. All in all, I've never had any issues with connectivity or sound quality, they sound great, fit great, have great features, and at under $100 they are a great deal. My Samsung buds cost twice that and I hated them. These are excellent. Absolutely recommend. ... show more

There fine.
Color: Black
I'm gonna give these 4 stars because yeah they work and I'm mostly happy with them. I can't give them 5 and don't wanna give them 3 because this is my first pair of headphones in this type. I got no other experience to compare it with. I've used wired and wireless on ear and over ear models. Had my fair share of wired buds too. Now the battery life don't seem to be what's claimed even with noise canceling off it's not awful. Connectivity is hit or miss. Connects perfectly to my android phone without a hitch but doesn't like Linux a bit. It might do better with windows I can't say. The app seems well designed and functional, you can operate them fully in the app without being forced to make an account. Otherwise I've had deleted it. Now the sound quality, again I've never owned wireless buds before but just in general I've heard better. Fair amount of bass at first not super bad. That stems from so many people liking hip-hop I guess. I do not. With a little tweaking there fine in that respect. Before I bought these I checked out a few YouTube creatures and one complaint stood out, the left bud seems to fall out a lot. This is true for me as well. I don't know how or why, it's the same size and weight as the other but it tends to fall out so much more then the others. Maybe packaging these with some good ear hair trimers might be an idea. The last thing I'll mention is the controls on the device. JANKY!! push this many times for this and that many times for that, nope. I find myself heading straight to the app for that. ... show more

My favorite wireless earbuds by far
Color: Black
I've gone through like 6 wireless earbuds. Been using these for over a year now and they're still the best wireless earbuds I have ever owned. They sound good and have decent bass for earbuds. The noise cancelling is not perfect but still really good. The battery is not as impressive as others I have had but the quality is so much better that it is worth it for me. I have only ever had to hit the resync button for my earbuds 1 time in the last year. Besides that they have always paired perfectly. The only problem I have had is that when you use 1 earbud it switched to mono audio which was really nice. Now whenever I only have 1 earbud in, it still uses left right audio and so it will cutout the audio from the earbud you are not wearing. I have to manually switch from mono to left/right audio from my phone now if I only want to use 1 bud. Very minor problem tho so it does not bother me. Also, the range on these is way better than any other wireless earbuds I owned. The app you can use with the earbuds is also better than most other lame apps you have to download for your earbuds. ... show more

Burn bright, but burn out too quickly.
Color: Black
Amazing earbuds...until they're not. I've bought two pairs of these in the last two years. When they're new, they're awesome. Great sound, comfortable, good app with a decent amount of sound settings. When they're on sale, they're best in their price range. Unfortunately both my sets of earbuds and their cases have had their issues. The first set of earbuds lost their ability to charge quickly or at all. I believe the case to have been the issue, but also the batteries on the earbuds went around 8-9 hours of listening without needing to be charged to around 6, then down to around 3. Eventually their maximum capacity dropped and the right earbud would get stuck at ~60%. The second set had it even worse. It lasted me almost 11 months but both the earbuds literally fell apart. Whatever glue they use to hold them together broke simultaneously and I had to hold them together with tape. The range also died, before I could walk all the way to the kitchen while my phone was in my room and it would be fine. At the end they could barely make it 5ft and would disconnect if anything got between me and my phone. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but two earbuds having serious failure with a year is ridiculous. ... show more

I can’t say enough GOOD THINGS!!
Color: White
I literally never write reviews but I had to. Coming from an Apple loyalist..these are hands down the BEST EARBUDS I’VE EVER OWNED!! Biggest pro for me is the battery life, these things just will NOT die, I’ve had them for almost 2 months and I think I’ve had to charge the case one time!! Super easy set up and connection, works very similar yo the AirPods pairing process. Sound is GREAT!! They could get just a touch louder but honestly that’s likely due to my crappy hearing not the buds themselves. The app you use to control them is super easy to use with a very simple interface design. I really like that you have a lot of freedom in app to adjust all the sound settings and bass to your liking, something even Apple didn’t have. The case is nice and sleek and secure, I’ve dropped it on the ground and the pods do not go flying out like my AirPods did. For the price these are a steal, like the best bargain I’ve found in some time. I can’t say enough good things about these buds, GET THEM!! ... show more

THESE ARE NOT NOTHING! They are amazing!

I have to say did have a one in a million customer service experience that was beyond amazing. There was an issue that was resolved and I could not be happier. The quality of sound is amazing, from the clear crisp sound to the deep enhancement bass that brings so much edge to the choice of music you so wish to listen to. What is amazing is the fact you can adjust the quality and feel through the very simple to understand and use App. You will want to download the “Nothing X” app available in the Apple and android store for free. This allows you to maximize productivity within the music realm. I noticed it has amazing battery life outside the case to allow me to use them all day without interruption and that’s a must. Music is the spice of life and to make music sufficient the “Nothing X” is the best music listening earbuds on the market for the very competitive market. I am known to lose things often so being able to go into the app and use the chirp feature it allows me to listen and find where I may have misplaced them. A very great feature! It also comes with different type of earbud inserts if you have smaller or larger ears. They feel great in the ear to maximize sound quality, and keep out the exterior noises. Now these headphones are great for sports activities outside and you don’t always want to have full isolation, so there is a feature that allows strong fluid music flow while still being able to hear around you, keep yourself observing your surroundings in any situation always but it’s great to know you have that option. You can use them to call/ answer with your mobile device such as Android or Apple. There is a little difficulty when it comes to pairing to your devices because you have to make sure the earbuds are in the case and pressing the circle button holding it till it blinks white, pull them out and go to your iPhone Bluetooth settings and find the Nothing X and pair. There is great online help for you if needed and reach out to customer service who will be amazing to hear from! I recommend these to everyone that wants quality for a decent price. Sound is perfect the look is futuristic, and quality is beyond expectations. ... show more

Longevity not the best
Color: Black
Review Image by Brianna
The sound, look and comfort of these earbuds are truly amazing. They fit perfectly in my ear with minor moving (sweat, water from the shower etc) and yes I do wear them in the shower and they are just fine. The controls are MOSTLY easy to use and customizable which is nice but sometimes I’ll have to press it hard for it to register at all. I would give these a 5 star BUT the longevity IS AWFUL. I’ve had these 2 years and I used to use them all day everyday - at work, in class, at the gym and in the evening when I play games on my computer. Nowadays it won’t even last a couple hours without dying and that’s a fully charged case and earbuds. I am disappointed due to this fact because if it weren’t for the minor gripes and the degrade over the years I would think these were absolutely perfect. ... show more
