April 19, 2024

It was an open secret that Nothing was about to release two new earbuds. The official announcement from the company surely helped. At the same time, they also revealed that they were coming up with a new naming convention. In this article, we will be looking at Nothing Ear while also discussing its expected price in Nepal.

Nothing Ear Overview

Design and Audio

Looking at the design, the latest Nothing Ear does not look much different from its predecessor. It ships in the standard two colour options i.e. Black, and White. The case of Nothing Ear also looks the same with a squircle shape and a circular depression on the lid. Meanwhile, you get an IP54 water resistance on the buds while the case has a slightly higher resistance of IP55.

The Nothing Ear relies on an 11mm dynamic driver on both the buds with ceramic diaphragm. Similarly, these earbuds come with proprietary tuning from the company. Each bud also packs three mics which coupled with Clear Voice Technology offers undisturbed phone calls. Additionally, it comes noise cancellation feature where you can manually adjust between three levels. Or, you could simply choose “Adaptive” mode and the earbuds will automatically do all ANC adjusting according to your surroundings.

Features

The latest Nothing earbuds come with a plethora of features. Starting with, in-ear detection. These buds can detect whether or not it’s inside a user’s ear and pause or play media based on that. Other than that, it is equipped with Bluetooth v5.3 and offers four different codes — AAC, SBC, LHDC 5.0, and LDAC. These buds are compatible with devices running on Android 5.1 or iOS 11, and later.

You get Google Fast Pair as well as Microsoft Swift Pair features for a faster pairing experience. Meanwhile, these buds can be connected to two devices simultaneously for added convenience. You can access even more functionality through the Nothing X app. Lastly, the most popular LLM — ChatGPT has been integrated into the Nothing ecosystem and can be accessed through Nothing Ear.
