A lot of great tech has come down in price over the past few years. While you used to need to spend a fortune to get impressive quality and performance, that can now be had for a fraction of the price if you know where to look.
And while you might be looking to Sony, Apple, or Samsung for your next pair of earbuds, Nothing might be another name you’ll want to consider throwing in the hat, especially when you can get them for a price that’s much cheaper.
The Nothing Ear deliver
Nothing is now better known for its phones, but it started out making audio products. And while many were skeptical, the brand managed to succeed in the space thanks to products with great designs and performance.
We got our hands on the Nothing Ear and found that they were a fantastic pair of earbuds. A sleek, yet comfortable design, impressive audio performance, along with powerful ANC. The brand also through in a lot of customization options as well.
And while they were great at their MSRP of $149, we think they’re an absolute steal right now at $89. When it comes to battery life, you’re looking at five hours for a single session, with up to 24 hours of charge with the included case.
The device supports a variety of codecs, and again, the accompanying app makes it easy to customize to your needs. And if you want, you can also use them for calls as well. While the quality should be fine, we found that it could be hit or miss in our testing.
Naturally, the software has gotten a lot better since then, so we don’t think you’ll have an issue. It’s just something to be aware of. Just be sure to grab them while they’re on sale.
