Nothing recently released Ear + Ear (a) wireless headphones in Tokyo, Japan. Nothing Ear is designed for audiophiles who pursue the best sound quality, while Nothing Ear (a) is designed for users looking for the ultimate daily music partner. .
Nothing Ear
Nothing Ear is available in black and white. It continues the transparent design of Ear(2) and also upgrades the sound quality.
Designed specifically for audiophiles, Nothing Ear uses an 11 mm custom dynamic driver unit and a ceramic diaphragm to provide richer and fuller sound quality and crisper high-pitched sounds.
Nothing has also improved upon the Ear (2)’s dual-chamber design, adding two additional vents to improve airflow for clearer sound quality.
Ear supports LHDC 5.0 and LDAC encoding, and can utilize Bluetooth high-definition streaming to provide users with more pure
Clean sound quality. The Ear can stream high-resolution audio up to 1 Mbps and 24 bit/192 kHz using LHDC 5.0 (Low-Latency Hi-Definition Audio Codec), and up to 990 kbps and 24 bit/96 kHz using LDAC ’s audio.
Ear uses a new intelligent active noise reduction algorithm (Smart ANC), which checks the noise leakage between the earphones and the ear canal and enhances the noise reduction effect accordingly. Ear is also equipped with Adaptive ANC, which automatically applies three different noise reduction levels: high, medium and low based on background noise interference. Ear’s noise reduction level is up to 45 dB, almost twice that of Ear (2). The detection bandwidth is up to 5000 Hz, which can effectively detect and reduce noise.
Ear uses compact custom driver units to increase battery capacity and improve headphone battery life. The Ear’s battery life is 25% longer than the Ear (2), and can last up to 40.5 hours after a full charge (with the charging box attached and active noise reduction turned off), or 8.5 hours of non-stop playback. Ear supports 2.5W wireless charging, and 10 minutes of fast charging can provide 10 hours of playback time (with the charging box and active noise reduction turned off).
Ear is equipped with a new microphone design to reduce communication obstacles. A new ventilation design is added to the stem of the Ear earphones, which can reduce wind noise interference by 60% compared to the Ear (2).
Ear has dual connection capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly switch between devices in real time. Ear also has a low-latency mode that reduces audio latency based on the connection to the other end device, providing users with a smooth gaming experience.
Users can skip songs, switch noise reduction modes and adjust volume with touch controls.

Ear (a) The new Smart Active Noise Cancellation (Smart ANC) algorithm checks the seal of the ear canal and adjusts the noise reduction effect accordingly to block noise. Adaptive ANC detects noise in the environment and automatically applies three noise reduction levels: high, medium, and low. The noise reduction level of Ear (a) is up to 45 dB, which is almost twice that of Ear (2). In addition, the detection bandwidth is as high as 5000 Hz, which can effectively detect and reduce noise.
Ear (a)’s new driver unit delivers 2.5 times more transient power for deeper, more powerful bass performance. Ear (a) is also Hi-Res Audio certified, capable of streaming high-resolution audio up to 990 kbps 24 bit/96 kHz via Bluetooth, and supports LDAC encoding.
The Ear (a) charging box has a built-in 500 mAh battery, and each earphone has a built-in 46 mAh battery, which can provide up to 42.5 hours of music playback time after being fully charged. A 10-minute quick charge can provide 10 hours of playback time (with charging case attached and active noise reduction turned off).
Ear (a) can be connected to two devices at the same time for easy switching.Like Ear, Ear (a)’s low latency
Mode reduces audio latency based on the connection to the other end device.
Users can skip songs, switch noise reduction modes and adjust volume with touch controls.
