Nothing Ear (a) Review

The Nothing Ear (a) true wireless earphones offer a striking design, respectable noise cancellation, and bass-leaning audio for an affordable price.

Nothing Ear Nothing Ear A

The third generation of Nothing's clear-plastic AirPod clones is here, and they're some of the best wireless earbuds for Android.

Affordable. Good sound and call quality. Great controls. Good design. Quick pairing with Android phones. Easy-to-use app with EQ customization. Good battery life in both pairs (especially with active noise canceling off).

Ear may be a bit large for some folks with smaller, er, ears. The Ear and Ear (a) look and sound similar, so the pricier model doesn't seem as worthwhile.

Nothing founder Carl Pei promised a game-changing gear brand. Another set of also-ran earbuds won't do it.

Nothing Ear (a) review: the perfect $100 replacement

The Nothing Ear (a) is here to replace the $100 Nothing Ear (1), and it does so gracefully. They sound better, the case is more pocketable, and the new color is funky!

Light, easy to wear ; OK sound for $100 ; Multipoint - dual device connection

Nothing Ear sounds much better at $50 more ; Basic EQ ; No wireless charging ; ANC can sometimes mess up

A year after testing, I still recommend these Nothing earbuds the most

The Nothing Ear (a) are some of the best earbuds I've tested, and on sale for $79 on Amazon, they're some of the most affordable.

The Nothing Ear (a) are best for people who want a relatively affordable pair of earbuds with thoughtful functions and a unique design. After eight months of testing these out, they stay in my earbud rotation and are one of my favorite earbuds I've...

Nothing Ear (a) Review: Amazing Performance for so Little

With the Ear (a), Nothing launches an in-ear counterpart for its most affordable smartphone. This review shows whether it's worth buying!

High quality sound thanks to LDAC and Hi-Res certification ; Powerful, adaptive ANC ; Dual pairing and low-latency mode ; Quick charging and wireless charging

Charging case is a little fiddly ; Average battery life ; Tend to be bass-heavy ; Yellow color variant is limited for now

Technically, the Nothing Ear (a) does not differ too much from the Nothing Ear (1), which the manufacturer introduced around two and a half years ago. The inclusion of LDAC and the resulting Hi-Res certification are welcome. In addition, Nothing...
