  • Amazing sound, weight, comfort, price. Let's go! Amazing sound, weight, comfort, price. Let's go!
Color: White
Update:I've had them for a good while now and they are still like new. They don't move when I run, or workout. No issues when doing core work our getting up and off weight bench or bending. They stay on. Volume is good at loud gym. I still enjoy the thin small charging case. The charge stays on as long as I place them back in the case after I use them. I would purchase again and still hoping they make a black pair! Original review: I freaking love them! I had two pairs of the Oladance pro. I paid 229 to the Oladance. Unfortunately my dog ate my other ear phones and they weren't selling anymore. So I started looked for new ones. I use them to walk the dog and run at the gym. I saw these along with another big competitor on Amazon Shokz for 179. I'm glad I went with these. I like to give new brands a chance first. Just like I did with Oladance over Sony and loved them too. Anyway, I decided to go with these for the deal and the quality. The sound is amazing! They are louder and more bass than my Oladance. Price way better than Oladance. Lighter and more comfortable than Oladance. I like the cute little charger. It's longer but thinner and will fit better in my purse than my old charger. Easy to connect as well. I took them out of the box paired them in seconds. Also, when they are up super loud and I take them off I can barely hear the music. With the Oladance there was less privacy. So far I love these! I just have to take them for a run! Lets go! I wish they had them in black and I would buy a second pair. I always need a back up. Thank you! My new favorite brand! So glad I didn't get the other competitor. I almost did and glad I gave these a chance! Woot woot! I'm a happy customer! Cheers! ... show more

  • EarBuds for those who care about maintaining SA (Situational Awareness)
Color: White
Let's clear the air for those who seem to be confused about the design goal/purpose "Nothing Ear (Open)", these are 'Specialty' EarBuds. They're optimized for Maintaining SA (Situational Awareness) while delivering clear & excellent audio w/o blocking ANY outside sound. It's PURPOSELY designed to not seal your ear canal or be inserted into your ears; that's BY DESIGN! Go watch the original YT videos about these and why they were created, the CEO of 'Nothing' explains what problems they were designed to solve. So anybody telling you that you have to insert these into your ear canals are HIGHLY misinformed as to their design goals & usage. You ARE SUPPOSED to leave them hanging right outside of the ear canals, you ARE "NOT supposed to insert them into your ear" for ANY reason. If you want EarBuds that seal your ear canals, "Nothing" offers other EarBuds for those purposes, please go look at them. Now, lets get back to the review. I'm coming from using the "Nothing Ear Stick". Those were good EarBuds that mimiced the design of the original Apple AirPods. Those still touched the openings in your ear and sealed the larger openings right outside w/o any silicone being shoved into the smaller ear openings. For me, that blocked out too much noise for my tastes, I wanted MORE SA (Situational Awareness). I don't want audio Transparency Modes, I just wanted the real thing; w/o lag from the EarBuds internal processing. This literally solves that problem for me and does a great job at it. The Battery life is pretty good. Initial tests in phone calls led to good Battery Usage. 15% Ear Open Power ~= 1.0 hr Talk Time. Reaching the Marketing Claims of 8 hr per Ear Open unit seems very realistic w/o recharging. Pure PodCast Listening is easier on the batteries, I'm able to get many hours w/o having to charge the Ear Opens. I've only drained the case battery down to 65% despite having over 8 hours of podcast listening + Long conversations over the phone. I haven't recharged it after the initial charge to full for the case + Ear Opens. BTW, I got these 2 days before the official Release Date of Sep 30. I got them on Sep 28, thanks Amazon! So I've got extra time to use them. This marks the First Week of using them during my Every Day routines. Comfort wise, I LOVE it, the Audio Drivers sit right outside your Ear, nothing gets shoved into the larger or smaller orifices in your ear. I can hear everything around me & maintain SA. Nobody seems to be able to hear what's being broadcasted as well, if they really wanted to hear something, their ear has to be right next to your Ear Opens. At that point, you've got other issues if somebody has their ears so close that your heads are about to collide. So far, I'm loving my first week of using these Ear Opens, I like them more than my Ear Sticks, which were already excellant. While driving the audio quality is clearer & louder, despite not having any seal into my ear, and I can hear everything around me as well. So it solves my problem of maintaining SA while out about on the street, or while driving. Audio call quality is pretty good, nothing to write home about. It's clear enough, but don't expect it to mimic any professional level microphones. It's good enough for it's class of EarBuds, especially at it's price. There is a small rattle in the case, I wish there was something they could do to solve that. I'll improvise a solution in the mean time. Over-All, these are AWESOME EarBuds. I definitely recommend the "Nothing Ear Open" for those who want to maintain SA (Situational Awareness) while out & about doing every day routines or working or driving around. ... show more

  • Great, but still not big enough
Color: White
I have an abnormally large head (US hat size 7 7/8) along with abnormally large ears. I absolutely love these in that they don't hurt when I wear them. The sound is really great, battery life, design ... everything except one thing. If you happen to be an outlier like myself there's one issue with these that may or may not be a problem for you - the speaker sits a bit too high and too far toward the back of my head. These do rest on some part of my ear (according to a search it is the "antihelix"), but not enough to be painful. What this means is that the speaker is a bit further away from the "external auditory meatus" (the hole where the sound goes in). That means that the volume is a bit lower and so is the bass. I can tell the difference by forcing it down and hear both of those things increase. Thankfully, all of those complains about this getting TOO LOUD don't matter to people with really big heads. So really the only issue is that the bass isn't as great as I'd like. It's still there, and it's still pretty good, but my dream of big bass open ear phones is still not fulfilled. Otherwise... these are great. Great controls (hard to put them on or taking off without clicking the clicker, but you can get used to it). The case is great. They seem to work really well for phone calls. ... show more

  • Fantastic if you can wear normal ear buds and don't have larger ears
Color: White
I have two problems unfortunately. 1, I have larger ears so they were already too high up from the ear hole and two I don't have the bump that holds in normal ear buds. This made for a fit that I had to keep adjusting multiple times over the course of a few songs to keep them from splaying outwards. they would have been the biggest bummer for me at the gym :< As for the headphones overall, they are fantastic. Heres some short notes form what i got to try. Audio sounds great and full when situated in the correct position and fires into the ear vs something like the SHOKZ Open Fit Air that fire across the ear opening. Best i can describe it is that it feels like the music's in your head vs you standing 3 feet from some speakers. While still being able to hear quite a bit around you, they oddly enough they don't get as quiet as I would have wanted in a set of open buds like the Shokz Open Fit Air or even my older Plantronics Backbeats. But they Can get LOUD but after about 70% all the bass goes out the window as the treble comes in. so don't expect big bumpin beats at high volumes. Controls Pinch Controls were responsive and hard to accidentally do once they are on (taking them out i accidentally pressed them a few times but thats a learning curve thing). takes a bit to get used to pinch but should be fine a few hours in. The controls also give you enough options needed to never have to touch the phone, 4 actions in total per side and can be customized to different settings with the app to have the same control do something else on the other bud leaving you with about 6-8 controls depending on what you pick. The Shokz air however leave alot to be desired in that regard with 2-3. Volume as i mentioned above, They are fairly loud. On the lowest setting (when in the right spot) they are loud enough that you'll barely hear your own humming. and can crank up well beyond comfy so id imagine they'd work great outside or in a loud gym. Just keep in mind as you go higher in volume the bass falls off a good bit so don't expect it, kind of a downside of the open ear tech since no ear seal but at lower volumes these things are fairly bumpy! way better than the shokz in that regard. Mic Is okay.. kinda tiny and a little lackluster but will get the job done. I wouldn't try talking out in the wind though from how it sounded. The shokz mic are great! but not something ill be on much for workout headphones anyway so ymmv. Case Its a bit odd that they went side by side since its not much thinner than the other ear buds cases. kinda looks like a pencil holder when in your pocket so maybe avoid the tight pants. Nice magnets, easy pairing button, no wireless charge only usb c. Case has a dust and water rating unlike others. app Lots of options and these have a find my bud option DONT HAVE THEM NEAR YOUR EAR OMG but can def find them from across a room when you hit the button. Multi point paring means easy switch between pc and phone with out having to do anything. (shokz air has it too I love this feature). There is a low lag mode for gaming but i didn't get to try that out. TL;DR If you can wear normal earbuds and are not on the larger ear side snag a set. They are nice, and if they fit you I'm very jealous. Ill be wearing these shokz open fit airs for now till a larger size comes out i hope. (P/S i had to send mine back since I cant wear them so if you see open box version it may be mine that I opened tried on and put back, get that deal!) ... show more

  • Light, comfortable, lots of peripheral hearing, and in a gorgeous light blue. Light, comfortable, lots of peripheral hearing, and in a gorgeous light blue.
Color: Blue
These might be the most comfortable earbuds I've ever had. They tuck most of the weight/pressure behind the ear, which gives a really transparent feeling. It's better than clip-on designs, which hang off the side of the ear. These are slightly heavier than clip-ons, but because of their placement, it actually feels less noticeable. These also stay much more secure, because of the earhooks holding everything in place. What I like about it is that the main body of the bud is smaller than on a lot of competitors, like the Shokz Openfit (comparison photo added). There's less weight, so when you turn your head, the buds don't generate any inertia. Turning your head with Shokz give the feeling like they're about the fall out, while these sit tight. The body is smaller, so it touches less of your skin, and feels more like there's nothing on your ear at all. As far as I can tell, the Nothing (open) seems to have the smallest earbud body out of any open earbud design. The disc seems to sit further away from the ear canal than clip-ons and other open designs as well. The effect that this has is to increase peripheral hearing, since incoming sounds are less likely to be blocked by the earbuds. That plus the low weight and good location makes for a very transparent feeling listening experience. The battery life is good, about 8 hours, which about is the usual. The earbuds are color coded to their spot in the charging case. One minor oversight on an otherwise well designed charging case: while a cord is in the charging port, the case doesn't fully open. Other than that, the case is a highlight of the product. The sound quality is good, not excellent. For better sound quality in an open earbud, you'd want a clip-on design, like the Baseus Inspire XC1, which has a similar price point to the Nothing (open). But then again, if you want truly good sound quality, you'd go for IEMs or proper over-ear headphone. These aren't too bad, and the EQ can be adjusted in the app, but those who prefer lots of bass might be left wanting. My one major design complaint is that the cylinder at the end of the earhooks really doesn't need to exist. It's a hard chunk of plastic, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything, but it applies an every so slight amount of increased weight and pressure. The (open) is comfortable, but it could be more comfortable if those tabs were shrunken down or removed. All in all a solid earbud with a great visual design, clever sound cues to indicate device state (beeps and boops on connection/disconnect, rather than spoken phrases), and quick and responsive multipoint. Though for all its good points, I'd give it a skip if you need proper waterproofing, strong bass, or the best possible sound quality. ... show more

  • Not For Me But You Might Like Them
Color: White
I would give these 2.5 Stars not 3 (if Amazon let me). TL;DR - I highly recommend the EarFun OpenJump. I've never owned open-ear headphones before but I was interested in getting some for cycling. After doing quite a bit of research I was no closer to deciding on a pair to buy, I narrowed it down to the EarFun OpenJump, Soundcore Aerofit 2, and Nothing Ear (Open). Since the fit is so important to the sound quality as well as overall comfort, everyone's experience with them will be different. My rankings ended up being, from first to last, what I listed above. Surprisingly that's also their order from cheapest to most expensive. Searches for the Nothing's consistently returned results saying they had the best overall sound quality. Unfortunately, they didn't fit me correctly and the speaker was too far from my ear canal leading to low volumes. If I held them in the correct position, they sounded pretty good. One problem some open ear headphones have is that when you increase the volume the amount of bass is reduced. That was a problem for the Nothing's where the bass begins to drop of after 40% volume and because of the poor fit, I had to increase the volume over 60% just to match the same perceived volume of the other two. The Nothing's were out of the running early on. The Soundcore's were ranked highly in reviews for their adjustability and great bass, even at high volumes. I can confirm it retains its bass as the volume goes up but the bass is kind of boomy in general (which I'm not a fan of). In general I wasn't happy with the way the Soundcore's sounded no matter how much I played with the EQ. They just never sounded natural. I was able to rotate the speaker so it was positioned right by the ear canal which was great but I could feel slight pressure from the battery behind my ear. I could see that becoming an issue if you're wearing them long enough. My initial thought was to just get the EarFun's as they did make a couple top recommendation lists and they were the cheapest but the other two had more good reviews. I also have portable speakers from Soundcore and Earfun and I think the Soundcore speakers that I have sound better so I was wondering if that would be the case here too. After listening to all of them the OpenJump's won hands down. The Soundcore's maybe have a bit more bass overall but the OpenJumps sound the most natural and balanced. Even at higher volumes, they retain their bass with only a slight drop-off and the bass doesn't sound boomy. They also fit the best and are the most comfortable. You can't even tell that you're wearing them. In reviews there seemed to be an emphasis on calling out the lack of bass of open ear headphones but none of these sounded anemic. In general, none of these headphones provide much, or any, bass below ~50-60 Hz but they still sound satisfyingly full. I did, however, have an issue with my initial pair of OpenJumps. The right headphone buzzed from deep bass tracks so maybe that speaks to why they're the cheapest. The replacements didn't have any issues. Hopefully they stay that way for a good long time. ... show more

  • Seriously impressed by these – the hype is real. Coming from Pixel Buds Pro Seriously impressed by these – the hype is real. Coming from Pixel Buds Pro
Color: White
I saw the deluge of videos on these once they were announced, and they did not disappoint. These are my first open earbuds, so I have nothing in this category to compare with. However, these made a huge positive first impression on me coming from the sealed in-ear Pixel Buds Pro (I never really used the ANC on them anyways – they were in Transparency mode most of the time). They're plenty loud for me. The sound quality is good for what these are. There's an objective amount of detail that's lost due to the open design, but these are impressive for what they've accomplished. Just to try it out, I tried pushing the driver closer to my ear canal with my fingers, and the deeper bass and cleaner sound was a lot more evident. At their default volume (about half) they may have even been a bit too loud, so my regular listening volume is at the lowest setting (I've yet to try them in a noisy environment, though). I can hear everything around me in a similar way that the Buds Pro had its Transparency mode, except I don't have something shoved directly into my ear opening. Which leads to the next point – comfort and longevity are the reason I wanted to move to open buds. I can wear these for hours at a time and barely notice they're there. It's not an unlimited amount of time, but it's much longer than I can sustain in-ear buds. They're not imperceptible, but you have to be conscious of them to notice you're wearing them. Sure they might be a little dorky looking, but that goes for just about any buds in this style. They have the Nothing touch, so I think they hold their own in terms of design which is a good thing. Nothing has been killing it in terms of their industrial design. I'd love to rock one of their phones but they only come in XL sizes. There is a bit of a delay with the touch controls, but that's probably to prevent accidental touches. The pressure required to activate the squeeze controls. Some of them are mixes of multiple taps and holds, which is probably another reason for the delay. They're customizable through the Nothing X app, which you have to download onto your device. The options are adequate and I've customized them from default, and placed the Assistant gesture on the right bud. In terms of their size, the case looked huge when I saw it in videos. It's not small by any means but it is smaller than I expected. If there was something I could change about these, it would all be in the case. A more compact size (similar to the Soundcore AeroFit) and wireless charging would be nice. The packaging is pretty minimal, but it comes with all you need. They're fully charged out of the box, you get a charging cable and some reading material. There is a firmware update available once you get them connected to the app. For some reason when I first paired them to my phone, only the left bud connected. After putting them back in the case and long pressing the button on the case, all was good to go. Then I was able to proceed with the firmware update. Earlier I mentioned that my regular listening volume is at the lowest, but once they're disconnected and reconnected they go back to their default volume. I need to determine if this is a phone thing or a buds thing (I haven't found any indication there's a setting for it in the Nothing X app). That about sums up my experiences in the hours that I've had these. I'll be updating this review if my impressions change, and I'm overall happy with my first Nothing purchase. ... show more
