Nothing Ear Vs Nothing Ear (a) Review | Super-Budget Buds!
Ғылым және технология
Reviewing the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a), two fresh 2024 pairs of budget true wireless earbuds costing just £129 and £99 respectively. Boasting ANC, triple mics and upgraded battery life, the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) are among the best TWS for a price under £150. But which is my favourite?
Well, for just £30 more, you get a water-resistant, wireless charging case, improved codec support and audio personalisation. It's the last feature that makes me highly recommend the Nothing Ear over that more budget A model of buds. With that enabled, the sound was richer and more detailed and a lot more enjoyable.
You've got effective active noise cancellation, with an adaptive option if you fancy it. Battery life was one of the weaknesses of the old Nothing Ear 2, but that's also been improved here for both models. In fact, the Nothing Ear A can survive for even longer than the regular True Wireless Earbuds.
So that's the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) in a nutshell! Let us know your thoughts on these 2024 TWS below.

Call me old fashion, but £129, and £99 are far from what I'd call 'super-budget' earphones. Not unless the word budget comes with a long list of warnings, like an advert for pain medication.

Nice review thanks. Only thing I don't like about the buds is the red dot being on the starboard ear 😂😭
love the design of the ear (a), makes me want to get it over the ear, though dislike how a few features seem software locked
The nothing ear( a )are about the same price as the galaxy buds fe would like to see comparison between the two
Does either of them have the "ear pressure release" thing?
I am definitely getting The ear. I love this company. So fuckin cool and smart.
How is the Nothing Ear in comparison to the Google Pixel Pro Buds? I find the Buds Pro such a disappointment, so I'm looking for a new pair of headphones.
I can tell the three noise control modee work as intended. I work at an office and transparency mode really allows for background noise. No regrets purchasing the yellow (A)
Terrific Chris.
I bought both the ear 1 and ear 2 and Nothing still has build quality issues. I had to super glue the body since its adhesive came off.
Were these Ear and Ear(a) buds inter-chargeable ?
So is the ear ear the new ear 2 or is the near ear the new ear 2 but the ear ear is more budget
The Nothing Ear in bland black or white. Agree that funky yellow on the Ear a is nice. Shame no more colourways for the Ear.
listen you on "nothing ear (2)" love it

I want to talk to my family at night when everyone else is sleeping in my room (due to the time difference) and I can't talk loud as it will disturb them. Will nothing ear (a) or 2 pic my voice in this case or is it better to go with Air pods pro 2. I'm an Android user and i dont want to opt to apple only because of the mic as most of the features wont work well with Android. Please help me on this....
for me it was a search engine mess indeed thanks for the clarification
That pinching function is a deal breaker for me. Still rocking the first version with the slide to control volume and taps to control rest
There's acutally LDAC on both of them now, before the ear 2 had LHDC at best, which my phone doesn't have
Could you check put the new Doogee DK10? Said to be alot of phone for the money

I picked up a pair of Pixel buds Pro and i absolutely hated them. Even when spending hours tinkering with them, updating them, using wavelet, it did not do anything. I ordered the Nothing (a)'s to see if i like them. I get them tomorrow.
I remember having the black one and the right one is broken only in a year😢 the earbud is too easily broken
Can you pair them on iPhone or it have to be nothing phone ?
How do the Nothing ear compare to the Moto Buds+
I want them nothing ear eaaaaar, looks awesome
Hopefully it will be possible to configure these without using their proprietary app.
does anyone have any info on the battery life on the nothing ears? (actual battery life not just what the company says). I have nothing ear 2s and they are amazing but might have the worst battery life i have ever seen
Can I connect it to nothing phone + iPhone at same time
Nothing design language is so good :0
ive already got the Ear (2) (using them to watch this actually) and theyre good but im waiting for Nothing to change the damn "pinch" controls to the standard touch sensors. its just slightly more cumbersome and im sure has cost me an extra few seconds of my time over the months using them. its an unnecessary "quirk" that Carl should compromise.
No doubt these are one of the best earphones in budget. The only concern is its case that is basically a scratch magnet. Like in just 3 days of use, I noticed so many scratches on the case. I had to get a transparent skin/body protection film for it. It is lifesaver when it comes to scratch resistance with it's self healing tech. It's not even visible once applied.
How's transparency compared to nothing Ear 2? I found ear 2s performance bad in that respect
@cuerex8580
2 ай бұрын
transparency mode is said to be same level as ear 2. i own ear 2 and will wait until this catches up to airpods level of clarity. transparency mode is not my main selling point though. the new ANC is probably more promising. 1 selling point for me is the optimised bass on the Ear (3). there is big limitation on ear 2 regarding clean bass
I really want to know how the anc stacks up against airpods pro 2.

Is there any logical way of buying Nothing Ear, if I have Ear 2?
Still rocking my nothing ear 1s, still do the job. No reason to upgrade yet.
I really dislike the Nothing Ear case, I really wish they had the symmetrical design that the a's (and every other earbud case) has. Or at the very least the case opens at a diagonal. Having to tilt my wrist awkwardly like that to drop one earbud or the other in gets a bit annoying sometimes
7:54 "Audiophiles won't be impressed" Nothing buds are one of the go-tos for audiophiles since the 2s. DMS, who has helped with tuning, said the a is very similar to the Ear with slightly sparklier treble (according to the fr graph). It's interesting how real audiophiles go for galaxy buds or nothing ear, though most reviewers say the xm5's are best (which they defo aren't imo)

@@chronchris1486 the term audiophiles goes as far as specifying people who like alot of music to people spending 50k on a setup with no real benefit except status to people who simply are experts on sound reproduction and know how to tune their stuff themselves or people who swear on unaltered vintage stuff from the 70's. there really isn't a limit to audiophiles. the phile after audio simply means "like". audiophile basically means "i like sound"

I was hoping the ear (a) was a new version of the ear (stick) (by that I mean without the silicone tips, because constantly shoving things inside your ears can be annoying). Now I wonder if that product will ever get an upgrade 😅

very few people liked the sticks. primarily because of the lack of silicone tips. So probably not
So basically, same features, just audio and battery improvements?

the hole is not for fidgeting... you can place one earbud in and with the magnets so it doesn't fall as easily.

@@TschiTschero that's a point of view, and i don't disagree. I'm in favor of being able to repair and diy replacement and maintenance (just like i do with my PC), but yes, the parts that you are not able to replace, like the processor, must be able to keep up with years of support. If they can manage that, I'm up for it.
Tech Spurt never fails to make me spurt
Imagine I got the Ear (2) for £109 on deal a month or so ago and then they released Ear (a) for £99 im gutted mate. The Ear (2) is still a really good earbud though.
I can't tell if your saying A-A or Ear -A with the accent! 😱😲😛
what an unfortunate combination of product name and accent
The orange ones look like CaT made them.
I think your take on the mic quality isn't aligned with mine. The quality is extremely poor and some of your words with the artificial background noise are almost inaudible. I dread to think how these would perform in real conversations. I don't know, really not impressed with that and it would be enough for me to steer clear of the product.
Red is right on all chifi iems.
There's nothing ear, a? (for us Northern folk)

Copying Apple's product naming is a bad move, it's causing confusion and will confuse more people when the next gen will also be called "EAR". Though they've been trying to be Apple since the beginning. I had high hopes for this brand but copying and following trends isn't a good thing at all. Nah, not my thing anymore.
