Nothing Ear (1) review: is Nothing onto something with these cheap wireless earbuds?

 

The Nothing Ear (1) are transparent-ish true wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation

Easy-to-use touch controls ; Loads of useful features like Find My Earbud ; Active Noise Cancellation

The case takes ages to charge ; No manual EQ settings ; The design isn’t fully transparent

There was a lot of hype around the Nothing Ear (1) buds, but they’re not as special as we expected them to be. Despite that, they do pack in tonnes of features considering just how cheap they are, and they sound great too. You won't find a better pair...

Nothing Ear (1) review

 

Are Nothing's inaugural earbuds actually quite... something?

Extensive feature set ; Enjoyable app ; Strong aesthetic

Tubby bass ; Timing issues ; Over-emphasised upper midrange

Nothing ventured, nothing gained: Nothing Ear (1) has the specifications to become a budget headphone contender, but the sound is a good step below class-leading

Nothing Ear 1 review: Crystal clear

 

Nothing is entering a crowded market with the Ear 1, but with its unique approach to design it could just be the one.

Unique transparent design stands out ; Comfortable to wear for long periods ; Great sound ; Wireless/fast charging ; Reliable for video and voice calls

Battery life could be improved ; Lots of competition ; Touch gestures limited (at time of review)

It's rare to find a pair of earbuds as accomplised as the Nothing Ear 1 in the affordable market segment. They look unique, sound great, and are reliable enough to use day-in day-out.

Nothing Ear (1) review

 

The Nothing Ear (1) are the first headphones from Carl Pei's new brand, and are a great option for ANC and wireless charging on a budget

Active noise cancellation ; Wireless charging ; Affordable price point

Average audio quality ; Divisive design ; Slightly buggy

On paper, the Ear (1) outpace almost all the competition at the price point simply by virtue of including premium features like ANC and wireless charging. In practice, the good-but-not-great audio quality and battery life hold these back a little, as...

Nothing ear (1) review: believe the hype?

 

See-through styling stands out in a solid first effort by a fledgling brand. The Nothing ear (1) deliver plenty for not much cash

Punchy, enjoyable audio ; Distinctive design ; Lots of features for the price

Battery life merely OK ; ANC can still be flaky ; Not the tightest fit for running

An impressive first effort that delivers on features as well as price. Ear (1) falls short of perfect, even at a tempting £99, but ANC and water resistance help it stand out amongst budget alternatives.

The Nothing Ear (1) are solid everyday earbuds, but underwhelming sound quality means they fall short of greatness

Lightweight, comfortable design ; IPX4 splash resistant ; Well priced

The Nothing ear (1) are the first true wireless earbuds from the brand and offer ANC in a sleek, ultra-modern design.

Comfortable fit ; Cool, transparent design ; Active Noise Cancellation

White/transparent case may dirty easily ; No voice control

There's a lot to be excited about when it comes to the
