Why Buy the Nothing Ear (a)?

The Nothing Ear (a) were introduced last year and inherit the round and stem-based form factor of the original Nothing earbuds and the pricier Ear version. Their design is distinctive with transparent accents that have become iconic for the brand. They feature replaceable ear tips which help provide an extra secure fit in the ears. They’re lightweight and comfortable to wear, even for extended listening times.

Nothing’s Ear (a) are IP54 dust and water-resistant, similar to their charging case. This means they should withstand water splashes, making them suitable for outdoor runs in the rain. Plus, the buds can be controlled with gestures through squeezing the stems.

Connecting the earbuds to the charging contacts take some getting used to.

The Ear (a) earbuds feature large, dynamic 11mm drivers, resulting in powerful yet clean audio output with a profile that tends towards heavy bass. However, the Nothing app offers extensive controls and an equalizer to customize the sound to your preference. Furthermore, the Ear (a) support the high-resolution LDAC codec in addition to the usual AAC and SBC codecs. Plus, they are compatible with both iPhones and Android devices.

Regarding noise-canceling capabilities, the Ear (a) have impressive adaptive ANC despite their budget price. Their noise blocking outperforms the Ear (2), while the adaptive mode provides seamless adjustment to your environment.

The Nothing Ear (a) are lightweight, yet they pack a solid battery life, with the buds lasting up to 9.5 hours without ANC (5.5 hours with ANC enabled). The total running time is extended significantly, reaching over 42.5 hours of total listening time including the charging case.
