The New Nothing Ear (2024) and Nothing Ear (a) are the latest wireless Bluetooth Earbuds from Nothing, but how do they compare, and is it worth the upgrade from the Nothing Ear (2)? In this review, I compare their performance in audio quality, ANC, Transparency, Mic, Call Quality, and more from an audio engineer's perspective.

At 10:46, that's quite a drastic difference in ANC performance. I thought the Ear and Ear (a) are basically identical apart from battery life, LHDC 5.0 and advanced EQ. What are your thoughts on that?

Thank your for the review! Listening on my ear(2). I'll admit I mostly skipped around to the music tests and liked the ear (2) for most of them but the accoustic song. Your explanation of the paper sound is spot on! Thats what was annoying me! I noticed that i dont really like listening to spoken word aside from deep voices on my ear (2). I also learned that i will never use these for recordings again haha. Will listen again with my beyerdynamics later.

Fantastic review! I am mainly a Pixel Buds Pro user but I tried the Nothing Ear (2) last summer and was pleasantly surprised at how great the sound quality was. Really impressive. Ultimately, I ended up returning them because they felt uncomfortable with my ear shape for more than half an hour (not sure if Nothing Ear (2024) or (a) will be different fitting). Plus, I value battery life and intuitiveness/ease-of-use like swipe gestures much more than sound quality in my wireless buds so the Pixel Buds Pro check those boxes for me. When I need quality audio, I'm going to my IEMs or studio monitors since I'm a musician. But yeah, TOP NOTCH review dude! Very thorough and high quality.

I just can't use them for sound as they truly hurt for me to listen to.

This video sounds great on my Earfun Air Pro 3's. Surprisingly to me, my codecs changed in developer options. Having APTx, Qualcomm Chip, LDAC, etc. My S24 Ultra doesn't allow me to change these settings until I connect a pair of buds that offer these codecs. My Nothing Stem came apart & you cannot glue it back without messing it up, tape works & the bud still works but it doesn't last long, 4hrs maybe w/o ANC on.

My Nothin Ear 2024 arrived today. I am coming from Airpods Pro 2 and I must say, these are AMAZING. I had previously tried the Nothing Ear 2 because everyone on youtube recommended them at the time and apparently they were tuned by a very popular audio youtuber and when I got them I was very disappointed. I thought they sounded awful and the sound was way too bright with no bass (at the time I had the normal Airpods 2nd gen, which were quite punchy). The Nothing Ear 2024 solved all the problems I had with the Ear 2s and the sound is better and more customizable than Airpods pro 2. Oh, and it works much better on Android and Windows.

The sub base alone makes the ear a better option than both, but it also has better miss the only thing I will do when I get them is to increase the highs a little and reduce the higher mid a smidge to get a more natural and balanced sound.

Sub bass is preference. You can easily add that with the bass enhance feature. Trying to get fine tuning on the Ear (a) is a lot harder, so what you're explaining will be harder than on the Ear.

@ThisIsTechToday

Because it has more of the high end, but in your actual ear, it might be a bit too harsh or not. It also is thinner so it seems clearer but it may not be as full since it doesn’t have as much bass. It’s a nuanced thing.

Had Ear (2) sold and buy Ear (not 3) the main difference is punchier, snappier bass response and overall more dynamic range. Ear (2) sound good at given price but Ear (not 3) are much more enjoyable specially for rock music.

Carl Tweeted it, but products are made to be reviewed as is, not based on future promises. It's worse than the Ear (2), and I'm not sure if it'll improve to a level matching the Ear (2) or surpass it. If it does surpass it, how much? The Ear (2) was pretty average already. x.com/getpeid/status/1783748694250008669
