NothingPhone Ear Wireless Earphones One SizeCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

I am not an audiophile so i could not justify paying several hundred pounds for Bose or Sony buds. I had done a lot a research try to select the best 'budget' ear bud (under £100) and these little 'nothing (a)' ears buds came out on top, so i decided to take the plunge and buy them on offer for £69. Normally £89.These are fantastic ear buds, both in quality of build and sound. I use these primarily to connect via Bluetooth to my work laptop (windows 11).They sound great.Mic is also very good.Very Comfortable! i have very small ears and they stay in no problem, although i have yet to go for a run with them).ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancelling) is also very good once you put the right tips on, the app has a test to make sure you have the right tips in.The case is nice and compact and charges the buds quickly. i have read reviews of people stating that the case is hard to open... i didn't find this an issue at all.I would not hesitate to recommend these buds. 5 stars!

I have been using these for a few months now and have found them to be an excellent set of in ears coupled with a fantastic app that offers plenty of customisation and excellent EQ. Sound quality is up there with in ears I've owned that cost twice the price, noise cancelling is good but not up there with Bose and Sony but it's performs well considering the price jump to those. Fit is is great I was dubious about the plastic case but over 6 months it looks great and has given me no issues. Overall a no brainer at this price.

Nothing has a very distinct style, which I love and even moreso these yellow ones. Way more interesting than black or white, it's a shame it's only these ones and not the pro otherwise I might have extended my budget.Even so, these are a great pair of earphones.Firstly, they seem to fit/sit in my ear perfectly. I barely have to push them in to get a decent seal, and they sit comfortably for ours. Occasionally if I'm walking around they need a slight adjustment, but more to improve the seal than anything and I've never felt the risk they might fall out. The seal could perhaps be improved with a few more tip sizes, as four doesn't account for all people. But that's nitpicky because generally speaking fit is great.The sound quality is excellent. They are a bit bass heavy at first, that can be adjusted with the app which has a range of options and it is intuitive. The true audiophiles might seek more customisation but for me and I guess most people it's great.The noise cancellation is not great. It cuts out a bit of the background noise, but tbh I've used better in the past. I often have to double check it's on because it doesn't work that well.The battery life on the earphones is fine, but the battery in the case leaves a lot to be desired. Similar size cases I've used in the past have incredibly long life of 50hrs plus, whereas these feel like I get less than 30.Appearance wise, these are fantastic. Fit also really good. Sound is good. Noise cancellation and battery life slightly below average.Generally speaking though, for the price, a great pair of earphones.

Right, so I've spent a good bit of time with these Nothing Ear (2024) buds, and honestly, with a bit of attention and personalisation, they're pretty fantasticBefore I start, I got these for 93 notes. The Ear (a) are 78. The CMF buds Pro 2 are 55 and the CMF buds are 34.99. Nothing have something for every budget. It just depends on if their style and sound do it for you. If you know they do then every one of these buds are the best in their class. Otherwise, it's harder. For example, the Sony WF-C710n are 99 and might be the better option for you over these. Similarly the WF-C510 are currentlyFirst off, let's talk about that case. It's got this groove on it that's just perfect for spinning. Seriously, it's become my go-to fidget spinner. Highly addictive, you've been warned! It's also extremely stylish but I can imagine the plastic wearing down pretty quickly.Now, the sound. This is where they really shine, but with a big asterisk. Out of the box, they're decent, but to truly unlock their potential, you have to mess with the EQ. I spent ages searching for different QR code EQ settings online, and once you find one that clicks, the sound is genuinely fantastic. I tried the Personal Sound feature but hated the results, so I guess it's quite hit and miss. As other reviewed have said, the bass is amazing, and the sound separation is incredible. You'll struggle to find buds that sound this good for twice or even thrice the price. The ANC is good, as is the voice clarity on a phonecall. I find the pinch controls to be absolutely horrible, but that's a me thing I think. Much prefer touch gestures.Style and comfort are also big wins. They look super stylish, and they feel really comfortable in the ear. I think they're pretty standard for stem buds as I haven't had another pair since the Huawei Freebuds 2. However, they're not as secure as buds with wingtips. My gold standard for security and comfort are the Pixel Buds Pro 2 with their twist-to-seal feature – those things are practically glued in and sound great to boot. Their price, though, is more than double these.Speaking of comfort, I had to do a fair bit of experimentation with the ear tips. It's the classic trade-off: smaller tips mean more comfort but poorer sound and security, while larger tips give you better sound and a more secure fit, but they lead to quicker ear fatigue. That's just the nature of the beast with most in-ear buds, as a better seal means more pressure. I use the largest tips for the best sound, but it means I can only wear them for about two hours maximum before my ears need a break. The Pixel Buds Pro 2, on the other hand, I can wear for 8 hours, maybe more – I've literally slept with them in and woken up unsure if they were still there, they're that comfortable.One peculiar thing I've noticed: when I'm wearing them outside with a hood up, any time the fabric of the hood touches the stem of the bud, I can actually hear and almost feel it. It's a really strange sensation, almost like a muffled scraping sound. If you run your finger over the top of them you'll know what I mean. Not a big deal at all really, but worth noting.Overall, despite a few quirks, I'm extremely impressed. They deliver sound quality that punches well above their weight class. For comfort, they're good, but nothing beats the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in that respect.If you're an audiophile on a budget and don't mind a bit of EQ tinkering, then just buy them. You really shouldn't regret it. In all honesty, you could probably buy the Ear (A) or even the CMF buds pro 2 and still have an amazing time!

Probably the best wireless headphones I have ever used, and I have used everything from Bose and Sony to Sennheiser and Shure.The sound quality out of the box is pretty good, crisp and clear with solid bass, but the real magic comes from the Nothing X app. It tunes the headphones to your personal hearing, and can adjust/test the noise cancelling so that once dialed in you can hear better at lower volume and retain music clarity.The hardware is also excellent with a great looking design, fast charging of both the headphones themselves and their case. The battery life is decent if unremarkable in my experience, but that's a price worth paying for the rest of the package.
