These Nothing Wireless Earphones Are Selling at Their Lowest Price Ever
The Nothing Ear wireless headphones are currently $144, down from $159, the lowest price ever, according to price trackers . They work with Bluetooth 5.3 and support high-quality codecs like LDAC, so you get clear and detailed audio, especially on Android devices. They also support multipoint pairing, allowing you to connect to two devices at the same time. Battery life is just over 5 hours with ANC on (eight with it off), plus an additional 18 hours with ANC (or up to 32 hours without) from the charging case. By the way, charging is via USB-C using the included cable or wireless charging, although it’s a bit slow at 2.5W.
In terms of sound, the earphones’ 11mm ceramic drivers combine with dual vents to improve airflow and bass to deliver rich sound from 20Hz to 20kHz. Reviews note that the bass is rich and distortion-free, even at higher volumes. If you want to customize the sound, the companion app offers an eight-band equalizer, or you can choose from one of the audio presets. Noise cancellation is good enough to cut out low-frequency sounds like the hum of a crowded restaurant (though some mids and highs do leak through).
On-ear controls let you control playback, take calls, and switch between ANC and Transparency modes with the swipe of a finger (adjustable via the app). If you’re running the latest Nothing OS and using ChatGPT, there’s also a pinch-to-talk feature that lets you interact directly with the AI, turning the headphones into a smart assistant.
The headphones are IP54 rated, making them dustproof and able to withstand light rain or sweat. The IP55-rated charging case offers the same dust resistance as the headphones, but is prone to scratches, as noted in PCMag’s review . If you want something more reliable, you can try the IP68-rated Jabra Elite 8 Active ($193.75), and if you want better noise cancellation, the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC headphones are a great alternative for $69.99 ( down from $99.99). ).
