A new form but just as stylish
Comfortable to wear for extended periods ; Good battery life ; Stylish looks
Big case ; Not for everyone ; Relatively weak bass
The Ear (Open) are a new set of wireless earbuds from Nothing, known for its smartphones and now making waves in audio. With a unique design, strong battery life, great connectivity and respectable sound quality, they certainly make a compelling case...

A stepping-stone to the Nothing Ear 2 (open)
Useful touch controls ; No sound leaks ; Slender case
Design flaw ; Tinny audio ; Limited max volume
An infuriating build problem makes the Nothing Ear (open) difficult to use for fitness, and less-than-ideal for wearing in day-to-day life, and that’s before factoring in other annoyances like poor-quality audio (even for open ear headphones) and a...

If you're like me and find most regular wireless earbuds uncomfortable, the Ear (Open)'s on-ear design could be what you've been waiting for.
Nothing's Ear (open) blend style, design, and comfort into a compact package that looks cool and sounds great.
Expert review by : Tom Morgan-Freelander (stuff.tv)
Open-fit style earbuds have diddy dimensions and look the part. The Nothing Ear Open is keenly priced, too
High contrast transparent design as distinctive as ever ; Clear, decently loud sound with just enough bass presence ; Slim charging case has reasonable battery reserves
A perfect fit isn’t guaranteed ; IP54 resistance just OK for fitness-friendly earbuds ; Doesn’t have the wider appeal of regular earphones
These comfortable, clean-looking open fit earbuds neatly blend fitness and fashion for a keen price. The Nothing Ear Open doesn’t move the category on in any meaningful way, but gives fans some welcome extra choice.

The Nothing Ear (Open) true wireless earbuds deliver good audio performance in a stylish design that lets you hear your surroundings.
Expert review by : Justin Owen (slashgear.com)
Nothing returns with another new pair of earbuds, this time made to wrap around your ear and sit out and above your ear -- with surprising results.
Clever Industrial Design ; Excellent sound quality ; Easy to use ; Long Battery Life
Considerable Price
Expert review by : Preslav Kateliev (phonearena.com)
The Nothing Ear (open) is a completely open-ear bud, which allows you to hear the outside world clearly, while still enjoying quality sound privately.
Surprisingly good sound at average volume ; Advanced EQ ; Pinch controls are good ; Long battery life (8 hours on the buds) ; Light and comfortable
Case is a bit bulky ; Sound gets bitey at 60%+ volume ; Mic quality isn't great
