Fantastic wireless headphone
Works like a charm, the app which you can download to help with the device are a fantastic supplement to the working of them. The carry case is brilliant too
Quality and value.
I have various sets of earphones or buds over 5 years and to me these are in the top 3 for quality ease of use and charging, ,if you want to spend 500 euros you will get theatre quality but for me these are exceptional for the money I have a nothing 1 mobile and I have also used these earsticks on a model 2 and there is no difference, rating 4-8 out of 5 as there is always room for improvement.
Good earbuds for a new company
Very sturdy earbuds for the nothing brand. Easy to set up and pair. Very sound output and bass.
Only downside is battery could be better but hopefully that’s something that can be improved with software updates
I highly recommend it. It gives you the best value for money 👍🏻
I bought this headset on the recommendation of my friend and I am very happy with it. I bought the same headphones for my wife a while after I bought them for myself and she loves them too. I use them with my iPhone and they perform very well. It is very useful to have different noise canceling modes and I can change them according to where I am. I had a hard time getting used to the controls on the first day, but now I am very satisfied.
I highly recommend it. It gives you the best value for money. You can’t get a better headset at this price.
Excellent sound quality, but transparency mode not so good
For the lown price of these headphones I have been blown away by the sound quality, I’ve switched from galaxy buds 2 and these nothing buds blown them out of the water for sound quality. The noise cancelling also works great blocking out 99% of sounds. My only niggle is the transparency mode, I have it switched on but it does nothing that I can tell, so I have to take one headphone out most of the time which is a shame. Overall though excellent headphones for the price
Very good earbuds
Best earbuds the choice between noise cancelling or Still hearing what’s around you is such a big difference and being able to chose what kind of sound you like bass the actual voice or treble best earbuds
Context: I have just returned Galaxy buds 2 pro and Sony wf-MX5 buds, but decided to keep these.
Things I wanted:
– easy volume control along with ANC voice assistant and track control. Tap controls are to finicky. (These best by far)
– okay noise cancelling (Sony best)
– auto off when removed (all)
– find buds (all)
– water resistant (buds2 pro best)
– decent case (I like this one best)
– good sound (pretty even, but these sound best out of the box)
– decent fit (these best in my wonky eared opinion – Sony worst)
Others have nice features, but not worth double the price. I also tried buying referbished, but they all had faults and earwax in the buds… urgh…
I also like that this is a London company, but I don’t like the 1 year warranty.
I will re-review in a few months.
I’ve noticed that most reviews obsess about music quality & ANC, forgetting that phones were invented for calls!
This does have good music quality & good ANC. It’s not quite as good as the latest Bose but not too far off.
The bluetooth connectivity is excellent, easy & reliable, & it works with 2 devices.
The voice call quality is very good, better than all the other high end headphones I’ve tried.
The mobile app is fine & the case is easy to use & not too bulky. Battery charge/longevity appears good too.
All in all an excellent pair of headphones & my favourite to date.
I love these earphones, by far the best purchase of mine over the years. They work perfectly in sync with my phone and the audio quality is comparable to that of wired earphones of high quality.
The only issue I have after a year of usage is that sometimes it doesn’t charge in its case due to connection issues. Apart from that, they’re fantastic !
I just bought these ear 2 not expecting them to be as good as airpods and oh i tell you know they are BETTER!! The ANC is just amazing and you can really sense the silence! They are comfortable for a fee hours but can strain the ear in extreme long periods.
The sound quality is just amazing for a 2nd gen earbuds from a company that not got the backing of massive investors
excellent fitment and sound quality
First thing i noticed about the ear 2 is how comfortable they are. Unlike my airpods pro’s, these actually stay in my ear and don’t fall out after 10 mins of wearing them. They’re much more comfortable than I expected them to be that i’m actually using them more than my airpods.
Sound quality is right up there too, if you’re like me and prefer your headphones to sound more bassy, the ear 2’s won’t disappoint you one bit. The Nothing X app has an equaliser with a bass boost option and it really works wonders. Definitely recommend these for EDM or hip hop listeners.
Overall I think they’re excellent value for money really happy with them.
Light in the ears
Didn’t think these would fit my ears as they are small. Gave it a go and love them. I now use them more than my bose quietcomfort ii headphones. The noise cancelling doesn’t give me a headache too which my headphones do
Due to an ear condition I can’t use in-ear canal earphones and AirPods aren’t ideal for an Android phone. I have the Nothing Phone (1) and this pairs perfectly with them. Their ‘open’ design does have some inherent limitations: The sound quality is pretty good, though of course not incredible; and while it can do ‘noise suppression’ as of a recent firmware update installed via the Nothing X app, it isn’t full Active Noise Cancellation like on the Nothing Ear (2). But the design is sleek, especially the case with its swivel. It pairs nicely with my phone which lets me easily see the battery levels of left, right, and case itself. It charges quickly. Battery life is pretty good. Most importantly for me at least: they’re really comfortable and don’t cause irritation for my ears. I can’t really complain given the price.
They have a great design and good sound. The downside for me is that they don’t fit in the coin pocket of jeans like most other buds. also no wireless charging
I have them just for fev days then that will base on my short experience. I use tidal for music and Spotify for podcasts and quality is great find bass better like my iPods pro as well they fit and stay in ear like crazy that’s absolutely spot because I use them for work and move a lot . Calls decent and so far my favourite, match with nothing phone beautiful. Just one thing maybe my hear is bad or not I use volume on maximum mostly or almost… Battery hold like for 3 hours + then I need charge , charging is fast and I think I will be recharge multi times that’s in total can maybe make 30 hours to drain complete? I was going to buy Sony because I got good experience but …. Price difference between as well is not possible to check how they fit no one let u what’s s. Then I got choice new one matching with phone or use one unknown fit , I’m happy with them wish have like my nura silence from world maybe one day …. Overall happy with .
I bought these to replace my Air Pods, which broke. I was really happy with the rich bassy sound of my Air Pods, but as an Android user I was getting tired of the lack of compatibility with my phone.
In the past I have found that more Android compatible ear buds lack any bass and tend to have a very tinny and empty sound. However, these Nothing buds are a game changer, they have great sound quality (which can be easily modified to your liking with the very intuitive app) and are very compatible with Android.
I also think it is worth mentioning the physical design of the Nothing buds. The case is a novel design, which feels sturdy (but I would still recomend getting a case) and has a very satisfying mechanism. The case is larger than most ear buds, however, you can still easily fit them comfortably into a pocket. The buds themselves also look good, both in the case and in the ear.
The only downside is the size of the buds, they can make your ears hurt after a long period of wearing and probably aren’t suited to smaller ears.
Pleasantly surprised
Very impressed with my first product from Nothing, the design of these earphones are really (although I wish they did a black variant like the Ear (1).
Sound quality is far better than my AirPods 3rd gen earphones, there’s more bass (it’s more customisable via the app) and I find I hear parts of the song that I’ve never picked up when using the AirPods.
The play/pause features also work the same as the AirPods so didn’t take any time to get use to, just a single squeeze to pause and double to go to the next track.
The case is interesting, like others have said I do worry about dust/debris getting caught inside of the tube itself, I suppose you could open the case half way and use an air compressor to blow any dust out. I will be putting a silicone case on the stick to prevent scratches.
Thinking about getting a Nothing Phone (1) as a secondary device.
Pros:
– Sound quality is on point! (no distorted sound, good balance of treble and mids)
– Solid build quality (dropped a few times and still works and held itself together, both the case and earphones)
– Noise cancelling is good (some higher frequency sound can penetrate, but I’m okay with that because of the price point)
Cons:
– Sometimes does lose connection between earbuds in busier areas because lots of people use bluetooth (train stations, buses, airports)
– Connection can be unstable RARELY where sound quality becomes bad (fixed this by putting them back in the case and reconnecting)
– Touch controls kind of sensitive when I try to touch my hair or face (slightly touching the earphones may activate some controls)
Overall, I’d highly recommend these earphones to anyone who doesn’t mind spending low/mid-range money on some high quality sound on a relatively new brand. I put trust and care into my pair, the best wireless earphones at this price point!
Good for the price
For the price, these are decent headphones. The noise cancellation definitely isnt the best, but I’ve used on several flights and it does a decent job of getting rid of constant background noise like aircon.
Build wise, they’re OK. The case feels a bit delicate but the headphones themselves seem good.
Audio is generally decent. I’m no audiophile and for me they seem perfectly fine.
The touch functions can be a bit temperamental, but features such as auto turning off when removing them from your ears.
Overall, I think these are decent at the price point and good for an audience looking for decent but not mind-blowing performance
A surprisingly good product from Nothing, at the current price point on Amazon they are half the price of AirPods 3 while actually performing better than competition.
They look tiny and stunning and sit comfortably in my ears. Because they are so small and light they don’t fall off easily no matter how I shake my head.
When put into the ear they recognise they are in and play a satisfying sound.
The sound quality is remarkably good for non-isolating earbuds. Because they are non-isolating you have full spatial awareness and can avoid weird feeling when eating or drinking while using these.
There is a good amount of base to be heard once you tweak the EQ, which works really well. The EQ can be adjusted once through the app, the setting is then remembered by the ‘ear (stick)’ for any other device. There is a new firmware update, which seems to improve the sounds a bit.
It has touch controls on the stems to adjust volume, answer calls and navigate playlists. These controls are also customisable in the app!
Call quality is no different from other top products in this category. And battery life is superb.
Really can’t fault this product in any way. Ear (sick) look really cool in the ear and people notice I am wearing something unique and start asking where to get one.
Great little ear buds.
Lovely little ear buds and very comfortable to wear. Haven’t tested the noise cancelling in loud environment, but in normal conditions appears to work well.
Almost perfect, with one major issue.
After using Air Pod Pros for two years, I can say Nothings earbuds compare favourably. Great sound quality, & the transparency/noise cancelling works okay, only minor issue is some noises produce an uncomfortable static. For example when I am opening my front door, the rattling keys causes a terrible static. Rarely an issue, but it’s there.
The main problem with ear buds is the constant disconnecting. Once or twice every ten minutes or so they will stutter, stop playing for 2-3 seconds, then resume. This has happened since I opened the box. It isn’t product breaking, but for the price I’d expect better. Solid 4/5
Noise cancellation is incredible
Noise canceling is amazing especially these being my first proper expensive ish headphones. Only thing is dust gets inside and can be seen I also have the nothing phone and have the same issue I think this is the downside of things being transparent. 9/10
Okay, just okay.
This product looks great and the sound quality and features are actually pretty good. I did send these back though, the earbuds hurt my ears after a short period of use, despite trying different tips. The sound when you push it above 80% losses some quality and sounds a bit harsh. Could perhaps be solved with a s/w update.
Good, low cost AirPods Pro alternative
Good noise cancellation and sound quality – tweaked by Sweden’s Teenage Engineering. Nothing is quite a seamless as an AirPod with a iPhone, but for the price the Ear(1)s are well worth a look.
We have several pairs and I often use them for Teams/Zoom calls for work quite effectively – as well as shutting out the world on runs, walks, commuting, or flights. Regular software updates have also made them better. A good sound, decent battery life, and a little bit different.
Good , but not for gym
Really good bassy sound. Comfortable too. But if you sweat allot in the gym they will fall out, so not good buds for a gym goer.
As a long-time Bluetooth audio sceptic, these blew me away.
The Nothing Ear (1)s are incredible. I got them for 59.99 on sale, which pushed me to try out Bluetooth audio, and, I must say, as someone who’s been clinging onto the headphone jack on my Galaxy Note 9 for dear life, I can comfortably say at this point I’m not just pleased, but satisfied by the audio quality on these.
I can’t wait to see what Nothing become.
The best value for money ear phones ever.
By far better than air pods, not sure about air pod pros, but for the price, they are insane. The base is beautiful
:)
Do exactly what they said they’d do, very happy with them, as my first pair of wireless earphones took a little getting used to on the control, I’d go to make sure they were in my ear and pause by accident but this was only for like a week really, fit so well too! Been scared to get a pair as they’re not the cheapest and was worried about falling out but I’ve had no such issues 🙂
Good but could have more hours battery life
Good sound good fit but a bit disappointed about battery life
Outstanding for the price
Obviously these are not the be all and end all of wireless eatphones, however for the low price you get a lot for your money. The ANC isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty good, the battery life is excellent, they’re extremely comfortable and they have deep, punchy bass with a crisp and sparkly top end. Absolutely recommended for the price
Really good
The Nothing ear buds are really good. Noise cancellation very good not top tier but they do a very good job. The sound quality is great and theres a few presets you can select via the app for more bass ect. The volume controls take a little getting used but work very well. The buds look amazing… All in all I’m very happy with my purchase
Nothing Compares
I have personally bought so many ‘air pod’ style in ear earphones since I lost my apple pro air pods, I’ve gone for super cheap to mid range, the nothing air pods have been the best I’ve had since my air pods vanished. The app on my phone is brilliant at controlling sound and the touch elements on the ear buds themselves is excellent. If you are looking for a mid range product then these are up there. Add in the look and you have a winner.
Volume
Great looks. Sounds great. For heavy music listeners might be too quiet. I enjoy listening to music on a volume that my ears hurt. These buds have slightly lower volume but it’s loud enough for you to not hear anything with noise cancellation. Good bass too. They stay in your ear great but if you have alot of ear wax or you ear is wet they might not stay in well. Another thing is the netting inside the earbud can get clogged easily so I suggest cleaning the airbuds weekly. If you are thinking about sleeping with these on it might be uncomfortable
Worth the money.
Well can I can as a owner of a pair of apple AirPods Pro these come very close in sound quality & noise cancellation but the only thing I find was the transparency mode not ad good as on the AirPods Pro but otherwise worth every penny.
These are just amazing and no I’m not joking, I got recommended by these by a YouTube called MrWhosTheBoss and the stats that he said and quality of them, I thought….”OK bet…..” boy was I wrong….not only are these comfy….most of the time I forget that I have them on even when I’m not playing anything….the music quality is so PITCH PERFECT I can hear VERY LYRIC….not only are the features good the app ups the antee…you can change how much of what sound you want, you can even choose weather to have noise cancellation or not…..I HIGHLY recommend these….
I was super lucky and got these for 50. These replace my expensive Pixel Buds and I use a Pixel 6 pro so did not think that was going to happen.
They work great and the ANC is freaky to say the least; you can even use the ANC without music, etc. so can just cut the word out when you need and we all need that every now and again.
They work brilliantly with my Pixel 6 pro and my PC; unfortunately you can’t hotswop e.g. Have both devices connected at the same time, but it is pretty easy to jump from one to the other.
They are so comfortable it is ridiculous; they are the only earphones that have never hurt my ears; never given me an ear infection and just work.
The battery life is much better than my Pixel Buds even with the ANC and I use them a lot on calls which are super clear. On long calls if the battery starts to run down you can put one back in the charger, carry on your call and in 10 mins the Earbud is ready for another few hours; brilliant.
I gave my Pixel Buds away, these are great.
