    Nothing Ear (Open): Official Release with Open-Ear Design

    Nothing has broadened its lineup of audio products, introducing a new entry that is not a TWS earphone. The London-based company has unveiled the Nothing Ear (Open), which competes with products like the Sony Linkbuds, Bose Ultra Open, and Huawei FreeClip. This marks Nothing’s third audio launch this year, following the release of the Ear and Ear (a) earlier in the year.

    Launch of Nothing Ear (Open)

    True to its name, the Nothing Ear (Open) features an open-ear design. This allows users to hear their surroundings while enjoying their audio experience, as the earbuds do not completely seal the ear canal. The design includes a curved headband that comfortably wraps around the outer ear, ensuring a secure fit. The earbuds showcase the brand’s distinctive transparent design on their stems and do not include silicone ear tips.

    The Nothing Ear (Open) comes in a pill-shaped transparent case that is both slimmer and wider than previous offerings. They have an IP54 rating, meaning they are resistant to dust and splashes.

    Audio Features and Specifications

    In terms of sound quality, the Nothing Ear (Open) is equipped with 14.2mm titanium-coated drivers and utilizes a ‘Bass Enhance’ algorithm. The device includes two microphones and features AI-powered Clear Voice 3.0 technology for improved audio clarity during calls. Additionally, the Ear (Open) incorporates a Sound Seal System and directional speakers to help maintain audio privacy and prevent sound leakage. However, as open earbuds, they do not include active noise cancellation, but they do offer a low latency mode.

    Battery life is impressive, with the Nothing Ear (Open) providing up to eight hours of playtime on a single charge thanks to its 64mAh battery. When combined with the 635mAh charging case, total battery life extends to 30 hours. The earbuds support Bluetooth 5.3 and can connect to two devices at once. They also offer compatibility with ChatGPT integration for easy access to the AI chatbot. Additional features include pinch controls, a find earbuds function, fast pairing, and more.

    Pricing and Availability

    The Nothing Ear (Open) is priced at $149/€149/£129/Rs 17,999. Pre-orders are available starting today, with official sales set to begin on October 1.

  • Nothing’s First Open-Ear TWS Earbuds Leaked Before Launch

    Nothing’s First Open-Ear TWS Earbuds Leaked Before Launch

    Nothing is entering the earbud market with a new product: open-air earbuds. A report from WinFuture has confirmed this and includes new images that showcase the design of these true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds.

    Details on the Nothing Ear (Open)

    The Nothing Ear (Open) are set to be officially revealed tomorrow, September 24th. These will be the company’s first open-ear earbuds, featuring a design that diverges slightly from their earlier models. The leaked images display a design common in the open-ear category, featuring a wraparound band that likely fits around the back of the ear. The speaker is expected to house a large 14.2mm driver, aimed at delivering quality sound. This design resembles those seen in products from brands like SoundCore and JBL.

    Battery Life and Performance

    In terms of battery life, these earbuds are projected to provide 8 hours of playback from a single charge. When used with the charging case, this total is said to extend to 30 hours. However, this represents a minor reduction compared to the standard Nothing Ear 2, which can deliver up to 36 hours of playback time. Given that these are open-ear earbuds, they probably won’t feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) support. This is because open-ear designs rest outside or only partially within the ear canal, allowing ambient sounds to pass through easily.

    Additional Features and Pricing

    The charging case appears to be slim yet wide, as seen in the leaked images. Each earbud is reported to weigh only 8.1 grams, and both the earbuds and the case have an IP54 splash-proof rating. Notably, there is ongoing support for ChatGPT when connected to a Nothing Phone. Furthermore, the leak suggests there will be a “Bass Enhance” mode, which may attract fans of bass-heavy music.

    The pricing for these earbuds remains undisclosed. However, with the launch occurring tomorrow, the details will soon be revealed.
