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.

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.

Oh, yeah, they'd be a huge upgrade for sound. You should see my review on the Pixel Buds Pro to see how I really feel about them, lmao....yeah, I don't think the fit will be better for you and the PBP do have those nice ecosystem stuff going on. 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.

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.

You know what's fun, - I owned the Ear 2 and just swapped it out for the ear. Absolute love them, - I am having issues with dual connection on Windows PC. -- When I connect to my PC, it causes my spotify to crash, it just hangs and can't "play the music right now" . I can replicate the issue over and over. If I use the "headset" mode, it works, but sounds like a phone call, horrible for music. When I switch to earphone mode, it totally craps out my spotify app 😆 - Spotify on my phone works just fine of course. -- very fun -- love them for my phone connection though

But what are they thinking about using the smallest battery life in the industry? It just makes no sense at all.

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.

this is the only channel that I've found so far to be so in-depth on the differences between the products so I won't make a the purchase of "well this is the new version so that means I gotta buy this one"
@ThisIsTechToday
@ThisIsTechToday Ай бұрын
So glad I could help! There are many products that I've reviewed that are the "new" or the "pro" version that are actually worse. People argue with me and say it couldn't be true or doesn't make sense, but it happens a lot.

My biggest hold up with the Nothing ear buds is whether or not they’re worth it if used with an IOS device. I love the EQ settings but I know you can’t get access to the LDAC settings. Wondering if the buds still stack up against the industry peers without the LDAC. Would you recommend for an IOS user?

I defenetly like the new models. Currently I have a Sony WF- XB700 - which one is dying - but my phone doesnt support LDAC so even the Ear(a) can be pointless. Mostly listen to metal and some hardstyle.

@ThisIsTechToday

I think the Ear (2) is more balanced AND you have flexibility with EQing. I still would pick the Ear (2024) if you can stretch it.

Upgrading from the Ear 2 to the Ear, I used the "More bass" simple profile on the Ear 2, but it was too much bass on the Ear for me. - Switched to Balanced, while maintaining the "bass enhanced" feature. Definitely happy with the results, personally prefer the profile more now.

To me, the Ear(a) sounds a bit muffled in the vocals compared to the Ear and also seems to lack some clarity. However, you mentioned it has a brighter and more energetic high-end. Are these both possible?
@ThisIsTechToday
@ThisIsTechToday 9 күн бұрын
Yes! There can be an overall shelf boost that makes it clearer or open. The ear A has a boost in a particular frequency range WITHIN the high frequencies that is a more energetic sound.

the Nothing ear A are the overall best at the Sound Quality i think, ive used my Customied Seeaudio Rinko ( 1 Nano Planar + 1 DD) with an Custome tune that comes near to the Sennheiser HE 90 Orpheus, and the Ear A looks like they have the best Potential for an Custome Tune.

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.

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.
