The Nothing Ear (2) seem to be some nice pair of earphones. They mostly have to work on the mics for the next version, which will also positively influence ANC. Then they are unbeatable for the price.

Same here... and that's a huge complaint I have about my AirPods Pro 1. If there is noise in the room (especially certain things, like clanking dishes, running water, etc.) I've had people actually ask me to stop using them, or stop making the noise, almost like it is so harsh, it hurts them. And, any recordings I've heard are quite awful for the original AirPods Pro. That said, mine have the 'clicking' problem (which Apple refuses to fix), so maybe mine are defective in the mic-department as well? But, the AirPods Pro 2 sound orders of magnitude better in terms of the mics!

Hi Max, it was only at the end when I realised that you tested the Nophone bids with that phone. Wouldn’t it possibly change the outcome when tested all with the iPhone? I mean, I would want to use the buds with my iPhone, so I am interested how they sound in that combination and what controls and easy pairing I would get.
@alfie1230

Shouldn't change it. The nothing earbuds don't have any kind of special connectivity with the nothing phone weirdly enough, so they'd be identical when using with an iPhone, or any other phone.
For an apple fanboy, you do a great job being as unbiased as you can in your reviews. Props for that.

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. kzread.infoUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.
Thanks for sharing, I have the Nothing Phone 2 and just ordered the Ear 2 ;-)
Thanks it helped so much

Great video
I was watching another popular channel test these and they said the Nothing Ear 2s are so much better than the 1s. It's the biggest improvement they've seen between the 1st and 2nd generation from an earbud company so far. And your review and reaction confirms it. Thank you well done. 👍🔥🇺🇸
How much bigger is the nothing ear buds case compared to airpods. It's a deal breaker if it's too big to fit in pocket. Especially since I typically wear jeans that are on the tighter side
At 4:13 it's definitely not the sound from the mic of the AirpodsPro2. I think it's the studio mic. I think it was missed in editing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Idk why but when I tested my ear 2's the microphone didnt sound like that at all, it was really clear, I also saw the quality of the audio from other creators but when I tested it myself it was very clear other ppl also told so

Probably an update
Samsung galaxy buds 2 pro vs nothing ear 2 which one is best for IQOO Neo 6?
So I’ve sent back the Ear 1 with it’s warranty after patiently waiting for an update that would fix the connectivity issues I have when commuting. I get constant glitches drop outs, interferences when I walk in crowded places. Nothing has seem to have fixed this;) Now I have been given a voucher with which I bought the Ear 2 paying an extra 50 euro’s. I am super happy with the upgrades but guess what just now I noticed the issues STILL have not been resolved @nothing are you guys aware of this?? I have 6 year old cheap sports bt in ears as well as Bose QT35’s that dont have this issue. Why is this still not fixed??
liberty 4 and nothing ear 2, which is better?
Does nothing ear 2 alsoconnect automatically on iphone when you open the case? Answer pls thank you!
I’m currently deciding on which to buy and that mic difference is making me want to buy the AirPods. I just don’t know if it’s a big enough gap to justify the 130€ difference in price. AirPods are 279€ and the Nothing’s 2 are 149€, here in Portugal.

All features that shown about Nothing phone is applicable to any android phone with Android 12 and up (maybe older ones too, I don't have that to test) My annoyance with ear 1 is non blocking high end noise and if you start moving, ANC disables.
excellent video, really like Nothing.
You know you can increase the volume right?
04:12 isn't the microphone quality of the airpods pro 2. They usually sound more bad than the nothing ear 2. I have also tested them both side by side.

In terms of transparancy performace, earfun air pro 3 is pretty close to AirPods pro2, but earfun ap3 is weak in ANC performance. Closer ANC performance to Airpods pro2 is Anker Liberty 4 ANC. It is very tough to beat Airpods pro2 it is good at useful stuff
Do we have a lanyard loop on the case yet?
I don't get the "not as loud" just boost the volume then??

I would compare ANC going out where there are many cars. It's a more realistic scenario instead of just turning on the plane sound on the laptop.
well you should have used hi-res audio while testing as it supports Lhdc 5 , it would sound a little more crisp after that.

microphone is really bad in airpods pro 2 (using it daily), strange that on video they sounded good. Nothing 2 microphone sounds even worse. So for calls it for sure won't work.
On iOS is possible adjust eq?

Had both. Nothing earbud first version…looks good but have a few fatal flaws…even after firmware update. Wind noise irk me to no end. Wireless charging often heats up really hot. Sometimes, the earbud froze and pressing the button does not help but once the moon is full and blue, it wakes up again.

Nice video, but for anyone wondering how do these actually sound, you should really watch video that Oluv's Gadgets made by using correctly tuned mics (Airpods pro vs Nothing and some others). It's hard to even measure these, Apple has custom tuning which solves the issue of different ear channels to some degree but still they do not represent original recording like the perfect sounding earbuds should (Etymotic maby, Earfun Free Pro 2 with custom tuning from above)...

Mic quality is pretty comparible tbh the only difference is the apple mic sounds softer with more of a muted pitch. The Nothing Ear emphasizes a higher pitch on the call.
I think based on this video, that's enough info for me to rule out these earpods as an iPhone user.
