Nothing Ear (a) Out of the box, the measured sound quality and noise reduction are outstanding | Super worth it!Limited time watch + price

Earlier, Nothing announced the latest Nothing Ear two new headphones, including an upgraded version of Nothing Ear and a new series of Nothing Ear (a). The reporter took the lead in unboxing and testing Nothing Ear(a), and used Nothing Phone(a) and iPhone to test and play in detail!

Nothing’s latest launch of Ear (a) wireless noise-canceling headphones, you were surprised by its unique and attractive design from the moment you opened the box. The clear shell with soft contours and slim rectangular shape feels comfortable in your pocket or in your hand. It is particularly worth mentioning that Ear (a) has launched a yellow version, which is also Nothing’s first non-black and white product. Its bright and lively yellow color perfectly sets off the playful design of the earphones.

Nothing Ear(a) packaging is as simple as Nothing Phone

In addition to black and white, a more eye-catching yellow version is also launched.

Open the charging box, take out the earphones and paired mobile phone, wear them in your ears, and feel the excellent sound quality of Ear (a). The new driver unit provides 2.5 times the transient power, coupled with Nothing’s unique dual-cavity design, the bass performance is deep and powerful, not inferior to noise-canceling headphones priced at 1,000 yuan. The performance of the mid- and high-frequency parts also exceeded expectations, especially the presentation of human voices is very natural and the sense of space is also excellent. Moreover, Ear (a) has obtained Hi-Res Audio high-resolution audio certification, can stream high-quality audio up to 990 kbps 24 bit/96 kHz via Bluetooth, and supports LDAC encoding, ensuring the complete presentation of music details.

After opening the included box, you can see the Nothing Ear headphones in a transparent square box. You can download the latest Nothing X app on your mobile phone according to the QR Code in the box.

In addition to sound quality, the Ear (a) is also impressive in terms of noise reduction performance. Its intelligent active noise reduction algorithm checks the seal of the ear canal and adjusts the noise reduction effect accordingly. Automatic adaptive active noise reduction can detect environmental noise and automatically apply different levels of noise reduction. The noise reduction level can reach 45 dB, which is nearly twice that of Ear (2). The detection bandwidth of up to 5000 Hz also enables it to effectively reduce more challenging noises. According to actual measurements, the noise reduction effect of Ear (a) is about 70 to 80% of the level of AirPods Pro, which is quite good.

Just open the box and it will automatically connect to your phone. It can be paired with 2 phones at the same time and can be switched at any time.

There are “red and black” dots on the left and right earphones respectively, so you can never wear them wrongly.

In terms of power, the battery life of Ear (a) is also satisfactory. The 500 mAh charging box and the 46 mAh headphone battery on each side can provide a total of up to 42.5 hours of music playback time with ANC turned off. Even with noise reduction turned on, it can easily handle a full day of use. 10 minutes of fast charging can provide 10 hours of playback time, and the charging speed is very fast. In addition, Ear (a) supports multi-point connection and can connect two devices at the same time. The reporter connected Nothing Phone and iPhone at the same time, and can seamlessly switch between the two mobile phones. On the other hand, whether it is a Nothing Phone, Android phone, or iPhone, you can use the Nothing X app to perform different settings and sound quality adjustments, which is more advantageous than AirPods Pro.

It is operated by pressing the same way as AirPods Pro, so it is not difficult for users who are used to AirPods to get started.

All in all, Nothing Ear (a) shows extremely high cost performance at the price of 799 yuan. Excellent design, powerful noise reduction and sound quality performance, and long battery life make it a recommended wireless noise-canceling headset. Unfortunately, the reporter only tried the white version this time. If it were a yellow version, I believe it would be more popular.

Nothing Ear(a) is very cost-effective at a price of 799.
