Nothing makes more than just great Android phones; its audio accessories tend to be sorely underappreciated, and no device exemplifies this more than the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds.
These are the very earbuds that audio contributor Tshaka Armstrong called a “model for what affordable earbuds are capable of” in his 4/5-star review, and now they’re nearly half off during Amazon’s Presidents’ Day sale.
The Nothing Ear (a) may not be groundbreaking earbuds, but for 59 bucks they’re an absolute steal, offering listeners LDAC and hi-res audio support, versatile 11mm drivers, and an eye-catching design that belies the approachable price tag.
The noise-cancelling earbuds also provide over 24 hours of battery life with the included charging case, plus rapid charging capabilities that can give the buds 10 hours of playback in 10 minutes when you finally do run out of juice.
Nothing is also well-known for its handy companion app. Log on and you’ll get instant access to a bunch of customizable audio controls, such as Bass Enhance and various EQ settings that you can tweak to your liking.
One of the problems with the Nothing Ear (a) is that they don’t come with wireless charging support, and the active noise cancellation may disappoint if you’re accustomed to more expensive earbuds.
That said, these are pretty minor issues when you consider how little you’re paying during Amazon’s Presidents’ Day sale. Sure, I wouldn’t exactly recommend buying the Nothing Ear (a) at full price, but slap on a 46% discount and you really can’t go wrong.
