Nothing is a London-based company that loves to challenge the status quo. They want to make tech fun and inspire self expression with award winning products that look and sound different. As the fastest growing smartphone brand, they are the only new player to join the game in ten years. Their gear is all about culture and creativity and reimagining personal tech for a new generation.
The new Ear (3a) earbuds are all about going all in with your audio. They come in a bold new Pink finish along with Black and White and Yellow. The charging case is redesigned to look like a pill packet with a friendly round shape.
These earbuds are smart because they have 32 MB of internal flash storage. A new feature called Audio Snapshot lets you capture audio moments by just pinching the buds. You can save a clip from a lecture or a voice note from a friend without your phone.
The same is true for the AI leveraging feature Call Recording. Here you can record up to two hours of calls or meetings with a simple gesture on the Ear (3a). Everything syncs to the Nothing X app so you can edit and share your clips later, whether it be the Audio Snapshot or Call Recording.
The sound is better than ever with a huge 12 mm driver for deep bass. It supports Hi Res Audio and LDAC so your music sounds rich and balanced. You can block out the world with 45 dB of active noise cancellation. The system even uses AI to keep your voice clear during calls on windy streets.
