Why the Nothing Ear (a) Are Reliable Budget ANC Earbuds
The Nothing Ear (a) (review) were launched last year as a slight overhaul of the company's ANC earbuds. They feature the familiar semi-funky design with a stem-based form and transparent elements that have become iconic to the brand.
We also appreciate that they are lightweight despite their elongated form, and the replaceable ear tips provide a good seal in the ears, making them comfortable for extended listening sessions. Despite their price, they offer IP54 dust and water resistance. They support gesture controls on the stems, offering an alternative to the intuitive mobile app. More importantly, they work with both Android and iOS.
My colleague was impressed with their sound quality, describing it as impressive for their class. The sound profile tends to be bass-heavy, but you can use the equalizer to fine-tune it to your preferred listening style. In addition, they support the high-quality LDAC codec, in addition to the basic AAC and SBC codecs.
The adaptive ANC in the Nothing Ear (a) is rated for up to 45 dB of cancellation, which effectively blocks out industrial and static noises like traffic and human voices. Conversely, transparency mode sounds natural and can be easily activated using shortcuts.
The Nothing Ear (a) also provide solid battery life despite their lightweight design. They offer a runtime of up to 8 hours with ANC disabled and over 5 hours with ANC enabled, which is better than average. We also appreciate that they support wireless charging.
