Pros: Connectivity is great. Battery life great. Fantastic sound quality. Great app over all. I haven’t really tried the equalizer because I’m very happy with the basic settings. Love the bass boost customization. Very easy to customize click option’s on both buds. Very easy to answer a call or pause music with a simple click on the stem of either bud. Comfortable. Wireless charging from the case works great.
Cons: Noise Cancelling could definitely be better (not a deal breaker for me). When on a call, my daughter says it makes my voice sound a bit muffled.
These buds are a great value. I would definitely recommend.

Bonjour, Après plusieurs années sur mon Sony XM4. J’avais besoin d’un remplaçant à la suite d’une disparition non élucidée. En passant sur le Nothing ear. Je me suis laissé tenter. Premières impressions, Houaaa !!! a ce prix, c’est énorme. 1 – on est sur des intra, donc niveau son, je n’avais pas d’attentes monstrueuses. J’ai un AT 50, un AKG, et un BD en monstres de casques. Mais, j’ai pris une bonne baffe. C’est Nickel (toujours comparer à la taille des bidules). Ça mange du LDAC sans soucis (surtout si on pense a activer l’option dans le téléphone), le son est bien en place, pas trop typé, il mange tous les styles et c’est propre, bien équilibré. Petit souci, le système d’adaptation au profil audio n’est pas compatible avec le LDAC. 2 – étanchéité, elle est limitée, mais elle est là. Une bonne grosse pluie et rien à dire, ils sont toujours opérationnels. 3 – Maintient, ils sont très légers, et après des heures de marches, ils n’ont pas bougé. Même en secouant la tête, ils sont restés en place. 4 – La commande. On aime, ou pas. Je trouve le système par pincement très pratique. Les sony devenaient inutilisables avec une capuche en cas de grosse pluie. Avec le pincement, plus de changement non contrôlés. C’est un peu moins fluide, mais plus précis. 5 – le NC. On est loin des Sony, mais pas trop quand même. Les plages basses sont bien filtrées, cependant les aiguës restent. Donc pour passer un bon moment en avion/train, c’est nickel. Pour filtrer la conversation du voisin, un peu moins. On a malgré tout l’effet « bulle » qui soulage en environnement bruyant, et ça, c’est très agréable. Le mode transparence, très pratique quand il faut rester attentif à environnement, et commander sa baguette sans retirer les écouteurs. Petite remarque sur le filtrage du vent, c’est comme souvent un point faible, sans ce cas je coupe le NC et c’est réglé, l’isolation passive est assez bonne. 6 – Autonomie, pas de souci, ça charge bien, mais je ne suis pas parti des heures pour évaluer ça. 7 – Le boitier. Pour moi, c’est le point « mauvais », il est beau, petit, facile à manipuler, mais pas confortable en poche. Les arêtes trop saillantes. Et, un trou pour passer une dragonne, ça aura été commode, afin de l’accrocher à la ceinture, ou dans un sac. Petite remarque pour Nothing, les embouts ont une forme ovale, pas forcément standard, donc quand ils sont cuits, où on peut en racheter ? Pour conclure, arrête là ma quête du petit casque intra pour mes randos, le petit casque “daily” à avoir sur soi en permanence. L’avait commandé le CMF Buds en même temps, mais on n’est pas sur le même usage et le même prix. Le CMF est moins musical, mais parfait pour les livres audios et podcast.

Excelente audífonos. Son pequeños y ligeros pero la batería todavía es suficiente para mí, especialmente si también llevas el estuche de carga (que también es pequeño y ligero). Son cómodos y se sienten seguros en mi oído. La calidad de sonido es muy bueno, especialmente con las funciones interminables de la app (Nothing X). El volumen puede ser suficiente fuerte y las funciones de la reducción de ruido me sirven bien. Uso el modo transparente para caminar en la ciudad con mi perro y puedo oír ambos del ambiente (tráfico, gente) y mi música bastante bien.

I own the Beats Fit Pro and had those for 3-4 years and they were my favorite buds! But one day when I was cleaning them, I broke the wingtip and it can still be used but it kinda bothers me and I wanted to get new buds so I was stuck choosing with getting the same ones, the Studio plus, and the Nothing ear. I also wanted something that was good for call quality and did some research and found that these were pretty good for that and sound quality for music is awesome so I got these and I absolutely agree. It took me a minute to get used to the pinch controls since the beats fit pro has a button. Straight out the box, it didn’t have that much bass but I looked at the equalizer and these have more bass than the beats fit pro but the beats fit pro still had decent bass. App is pretty cool. Sound is very clean on these and you can hear more. Transparency mode is decent. ANC is very good. Call mic is good. Battery life is good too if you don’t use ANC. The design is very cool and case is actually slimmer and a little smaller than that beats fit pro but by very little so these fit a lot more comfortable in my pocket. I’d say I am very happy with these. If you still would like to have beats though, I would definitely recommend the Beats fit pro they are almost as good as these are and I was very happy with those too. Maybe the beats studio plus might be better than the fit pro I’m not sure because I haven’t got those but this is more for those who really want the fit pro or these nothing ear buds but aren’t sure. I’d say since the fit pros are like $200, the nothing ear is definitely an upgrade to those and less expensive.

Coming from an AirPod Pro (1st generation) I have to say these are amazing. It’s extremely easy to set up with the Nothing X app and the battery life is extremely good. Once I open them, they immediately connect to my device. And device(s) when dual connection is turned on. You can customise the way your earbuds sound, and I must say the hearing test feature does so well. It fits in my ears a bit bad (though I have to say it might just be my ear shape) since most people find they fit perfect for them.
ANC comparison: ANC on high is really good and I find it does much better than my AirPod pros 1st generation.
Transparency mode comparison: I do have to say that the AirPod Pros 1st generation still do really good in transparency mode. The AirPods sound clearer and when you’re talking it feels natural, not muffled.
This is still a really good deal and does much better in everything else.

Quick review: ‐Sound quality – Excellent with a full-function EQ in the app -App – excellent and easy to navigate AND tons of features -ANC – very average. I have a set of $30 Soundcore that have better noise canceling -Comfort – pretty good. If you like stick shaped buds, they’re great -Battery Life – Average. With ANC on, it’s not great. With it off, pretty ok. I’ve gotten 3hrs with ANC & 6hrs without
For the price, the sound is better than it should be & the app is a real homerun. I have a set of $400 buds whose app functions about 5% as well & offers maybe 1% of what the Nothing App does

Pros: 1) Amazing sound, and the EQ settings make it substantially better. I would probably say equally or better than Apple Airpods Pro 2nd Gen 2) The EQ customization is amazing. A lot to choose from especially on custom settings. 3) The earbuds are very comfortable and fit basically like airpods pro. Cons: 1) The hinge is mediocre. There is a bit of side to side flex which I’m afraid of will get worse over time ( it’s new). THIS IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN. 2) The transparency mode could be better. At about 20% volume you can hear conversations but it sounds a bit muffled.
This review has been after 24 hours of usage. I will come back to edit review if anything changes.
Edit: I’ve been having connectivity issues. My music will just pause. It’s been an issue that simply got progressively worse, which sucks because they do sound nice. I will try to see if I can redo the who connectivity or try turning off ear detection. If that doesn’t help the issue, I will be retuming.

I’ve had Nothing Ear (1) and (2), and this was a solid upgrade!
tldr – these punch high in so many categories, the overall effect and value really tower over the competition.
Noise cancelling is stronger and smoother than Ear (2). I have kids at home and these work rather well to drown out their noise.
Transparency mode is greatly upgraded – it was the first time I had to do a double take with them in and out, to try to tell the difference between nothing in my ear and Nothing in my ear :shrug:
Sound quality – the Ear (2) we’re already excellent, but these bring even more clarity to the bass and the highs. I’m hearing instruments in certain songs I never heard before (and that’s already after Ear (2) did the same thing!)
Very comfortable, very secure (when going for a run).
Call quality – I’ve had a few Zoom meetings so far and the recordings sounded great.
Super happy with these thus far. ALSO I went with the black version, and it’s way cooler and nuanced than the pictures show. Am very happy with their look and are less in-your-face than the two white versions I had before.
If you already have the Ear (2), this isn’t a crazy upgrade. But the updates are significant enough where I don’t regard the purchase at all!

Ses kalitesini ve uygulamasını çok beğendim, detaylı bir şekilde EQ ayarı yapabiliyorsunuz ve güzel tepki veriyor. ANC güzel ancak transparan modunu pek başarılı bulmadım. Mikrofonu henüz denemedim. Kutunun tasarımı çok güzel. Bu fiyata bence premium seviyede bir ses veriyor bu bağlamda F/P bir ürün diyebilirim, bence değerlendirin.

En su momento me quería comprar los ear (1), pero estaban agotados, hace unos días tuve suerte y compré los últimos de esta publicación, son más de lo que esperaba. La cone conexión con Android sucede desde que se abre el estuche, pasando con la opción inmediata de descargar la app, la cuál he dedecir que se integra muy bien. La cancelación es adecuada a lo que determina el fabricante. Tiene un amplio rango de configuraciones, realmente no necesito subir el volumen más allá de 1/3 para disfrutar de la música. La configuración del ecualizador de 8 bandas es un buen acierto, cabe agregar que también se puede personalizar la configuración de los toques de cada audífono y se pueden usar independientemente. No puedo comentar sobre la duración de la batería por que los estoy estrenando 😂. Tienen un ajuste perfecto a los oidos y viene con varios tamaños de almohadillas, así como una función en la app para encontrar la que mejor se ajuste al oído.
