I did my homework on these, and so far i couldn’t be happier, beautiful sound, thumping bass, excellent anc, and the app is easy to use via a android phone, I love the way that you can feel the clicks to adjust them, rather than taps or swipes, the actual ear buds feel like a quality well made product, and stay in your ear even when exercising, they look good too, i will update my review, if anything changes, i just returned my bose quiet comfort 2 as I was having problems with them from the first few days, and the sound quality from these is definitely on a par with bose, as is the anc, and the app and ease of usability is far superior, I am very impressed with my new earbuds and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for premium earbuds at a great price!!! 7 people found this helpful

I love music. I have owned many wired and a few wireless earbuds over the past 30 years. Some have been amazing (Yuin PK1) with the right headphone amplifier and DAC. I have had the Nothing Ear for 4 Months and can confidently say that they are the best I’ve ever owned. They are easy to use, connecting to my OnePlus 12 phone as well as my previous Oppo phone with ease. The app is great and have given my old ears a new musical insight with the personalised EQ tailored to my hearing. I am also a bit of an audio nerd and found that these earbuds support LHDC lossless audio (if your phone also supports this) – I’m getting 192khz lossless from my media player (Room). The icing on the cakes is the crazy good value for money these earbuds offer. I don’t write many reviews but am happy to write one for these great earbuds.

These sound fantastic. I have Sony xm3 in ear and LG tone free upf9. The xm3s did sound amazing but they were difficult to fit properly and feel comfortable. The LG were my go to as they pop straight in and sound great (less depth). These have blown the LG out the water for sound and are at the very least on par with the Sony on their best fitment (which is difficult to find). They pop in as easily as the LG though which is the key to these in ears. The one caveat is the silicone inserts are rubbish…..but all standard inserts are rubbish. I’ve never kept the originals and always gone for comfort foam inserts across all options. These are the closest to over ears I’ve ever heard for bass. The range is excellent and the high volume clarity is on the money. Worth every penny for me. I’ll struggle to need my over ears outside a plane now. Oh…. The one under par performance is the noise cancelling. Nowhere near the Sony for me, but I’ll play with the settings and see where I end up. Everything else they knock out the park. I love the style as well. Stunning product. 2 people found this helpful

Bit the bullet on the Nothing Ear (2024) since they were on £108. The fit is really nice — the capsule design means they do actually sit in the ear a bit better than more tradition “airpod pro” style (Earfun AP4’s). So they feel more nestled in there and less prone to shifting around. Driving them on LHDC v5 since i have that on my Xiaomi. Connection has been rock solid so far – no glitching/drops/downgrades. Which is better than the MTW4’s manage even on AptX Adaptive (not lossless). The ANC is on part with MTW4’s — maybe a slight difference — the Nothing’s let a bit more “mid” through maybe which i feel is easier to ignore when listening to music. Certainly better than the Earfun AP4’s bit a small amount The sound signature out of the box is pleasing. Did their version of a hearing test and set that to “Rich”. Dropped the bass-boost down from 3 to 2 and nudged the treble +1 Essentially very punchy bass but feels very tight. EDM works really well. The Nothing App is nice, follows their aesthetic on mono + red dotted font. Very clean. Usual tweaks. Controls can be customised to a point (you get 3 options per action to pick from) Bass Boost is separate from EQ (kinda like DPP’s Immersion) EQ has 2 modes, Simple (a set of 3 sliders for bass/mid/treble) or the full EQ which gives an 8 band parametric-esque EQ with frequency, amount & Q-factor The App allows you to import / export EQ’s via a QR code. Usual other stuff like ear detection, codec select, firmware updates, find my buds, low-latency/multipoint selectors etc etc I’d say for £108 these are packing a good punch and can compete well with the usual suspects I’ll say one thing for the Nothing ear too. It’s the app. It’s slick. It feels like someone actually cared about it For me the Denon and Sennheiser apps feel clunky. They lag a bit even on flagship phones but the nothing app feels fluid and really well connected. It flows and doesn’t feel like an after thought The gestures like play pause or transparency on the buds play subtle playful tones Feels the same with nothing phones. They really get industrial design in a way that feels super modern and fresh without being intrusive. They’re like apple used to be The charging case feels tactile and efficient Really like the whole aesthetic 16 people found this helpful

I bought these after I read a review which said how good they were for the money. I needed a new pair of earbuds for the gym; my existing buds which are first generation Cambridge Audio Melomania 1s tend to fall out when I run. My other pair, Flares Pro, require a short cable to a separate DAC which clips to your clothes and the cable creates its own resonance when exercising. I also liked the idea of being able to “tailor” the sound to my hearing using the app as I’ve some loss of hearing in my right ear. I should mention that noise cancellation is a nice to have, not a must have. Neither the Flares or the Cambridge Audio have ANC but both need a decent seal between the bud and your ear so their mechanical insulation is generally pretty good. Having now completed some side-by-side testing using a Sony DAP to feed CD quality streams to all three: the Flares and Cambridge via Apt X and the Nothing Ear via LDAC, I’ve come to the conclusion that, whilst the Nothing Ears are perfectly pleasant to listen to, the sound lacks the “substance” of both the Flares and the Cambridge. I am not expert on sound so this is just opinion, but the best analogy I can use is its a bit like the difference between sugar and artificial sweetener. One adds sweetness; the other sweetness but with a chemical aftertaste. As I’m writing this, I’m listening to Mary Black “Babes in the Wood” and it sounds clean, clear, detailed but a bit meh. However, the buds are supremely comfortable and I hardly know I’m wearing them. The Nothing ears sound more like simply listening to music than being immersed in it. It’s perfectly pleasant but there’s nothing visceral to it. As my wife said though: “If you’re using them in the gym, does it matter?” And, as usual, she’s right. They’ll be great for what I bought them. 3 people found this helpful

the Nothing Ear (2024) earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for high-quality audio, effective noise cancellation, and a unique design. While the case may be prone to scratches, the overall performance and features make these earbuds a worthwhile investment. (you can buy a silicone case made especially for this product. The protective case is called the KZIOACSH Silicone Case for Nothing Ear 2024. Design and Build Quality The Nothing Ear (2024) earbuds maintain the iconic transparent design that Nothing is known for, allowing you to see the internal components. Available in both black and white finishes, these earbuds are not only stylish but also practical. The case, however, is prone to scratches and cracks over time. Audio Performance Equipped with 11mm ceramic drivers, the Nothing Ear (2024) delivers rich lows and detailed highs, providing a balanced and immersive sound experience. The earbuds support a wide range of Bluetooth codecs, including AAC, LDAC, LHDC 5.0, and SBC, ensuring high-resolution audio streaming. Noise Cancellation The active noise cancellation (ANC) on the Nothing Ear (2024) is impressive, effectively reducing ambient noise for a more focused listening experience. The adaptive ANC feature automatically adjusts the level of noise cancellation based on your surroundings, providing optimal performance in various environments. Battery Life With up to 40.5 hours of listening time with the case and 8.5 hours with the earbuds alone (with ANC off), the Nothing Ear (2024) offers excellent battery life. The case supports both wired and wireless charging, adding to the convenience.

Great all round sound with a fair soundstage given the technology inside, versatile and coupled with the easy to use EQ app one can easily enjoy all genres of music at the click of a button. Quirky yet cool design as well (if you opt for the yellow ones like me). Well worth £80 spent. Battery life is very good as well. Noise cancelling is more than satisfactory for earbuds – these are the first ANC earbuds I’ve owned as I typically rely on my Sony XM3 over ear headphones for ANC use. Overall 9/10

I’ve been using the Nothing Ear (a) wireless ear buds for just over a month and tried them for all my regular activities – listening to music, audio books and live radio in different locations – public transport, busy city streets, and chilling at home. My review is based comparing them to my previous buds, apple AirPod pros (but bear in mind, they are much more expensive). I list the main factors in order of what is important to me. Sound Quality – really impressive in all applications. Nice level of bass in music, crisp and clear speech in audio books and radio. Overall I would say easily as good as AirPod pros, possibly even better for music. Noise cancellation – quite capable with constant background noises. Struggled a little bit with more random noises, such as on busy streets, but still better than no noise cancellation at all. Overall, not as good as AirPod pros, but good enough, especially for the price. Controls – touch controls are not as responsive as AirPod pros, particularly when performing double or triple clicks, but good enough – and I can do more than I could on (1st gen) AirPod pros. Setup/App – very easy, good app. Slight inconvenience to go to separate app compared with the integrated AirPod controls on iOS, but that is to be expected. Looks/feel/quality – all seem perfectly fine – quite a subtle look, nice feel without a super-premium feel, quality good so far. 12 people found this helpful
