After weeks of speculation, former OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei-led Nothing has launched its latest wireless earbuds - the Nothing Ear and Ear (a). The launch of these wireless audio products takes place just weeks after Nothing's sub-brand CMF introduced its first-ever earbuds and neckband earphones. While the Nothing Ear is the premium offering, meant to be a true successor to the Ear (2), the Ear (a) is the non-flagship audio product that aims to cater to users who don't want to spend a premium for flagship wireless earbuds.

Nothing Ear - The Nothing Ear follows the company's unique design strategy with a transparent design. According to the company, the Nothing Ear features its most advanced driver system to date. It gets 11 mm dynamic drivers with a ceramic diaphragm. It has a dual-chamber design with two additional vents to improve airflow. The Nothing Ear comes with Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 45 dB, and it can be activated in 3 levels - high, medium, and low. Nothing's premium wireless earbuds support LHDC 5.0 and LDAC codecs. Most of the settings such as ANC and equalizer can be tweaked with the Nothing X app.

With a new mic design, it gets Clear Voice Technology for enhanced vocal clarity during calls. Nothing claims it has added an additional airway which results in 60% less interference compared to Ear (2). The Nothing Ear supports 8.5 hours of audio playback on a single charge and a total playtime of 40.5 hours. Other features of the Nothing Ear include pinch controls, Dual Connection and Low Lag Mode.

Nothing Ear (a) - The more affordable offering from the company, Ear (a) also supports ANC up to 45dB and comes with a new Smart ANC algorithm. It is Hi-Res Audio Certified and promises 2.5 times more transient power than the Ear (2). It also comes with pinch controls and a Low Lag Mode.
