Nothing's Ear (3) wireless earbuds are currently priced at $129, down from $149, offering a more accessible entry into the brand's design-led audio lineup.
Design and controls
The earbuds keep Nothing's transparent aesthetic while adding more visible metal elements for a refined, futuristic finish. Instead of physical buttons, they use pinch controls on the stems for play, pause, call handling, and track skipping.
Sound and features
Each earbud is equipped with 12mm dynamic drivers and a frequency range of 20Hz to 40kHz, with a tuning profile that emphasizes rich bass and a more sculpted sound. The earbuds also support ANC rated up to 45 dB, and the IP54 rating extends to the charging case for added everyday durability.
Battery and smart pairing
Battery life reaches up to 5.5 hours with noise cancellation enabled, or up to 22 hours with the case. A 10-minute fast charge can deliver up to 10 hours of playback. For users of Nothing phones, the earbuds also support voice interaction with ChatGPT, adding a layer of AI-powered convenience.
With its mix of style, audio tuning, and smart features, Nothing Ear (3) reflects how personal audio is evolving toward more intuitive and connected experiences that could shape the next generation of everyday wearables.
