Sound, evolved
Sound, evolved
We've mastered sound, and now you can too.
Our best audio experience ever. Ear is an expression of elite craftsmanship. We've hand-picked premium materials like ceramic that are designed to pack more richness for the most authentic sound.
Award-winning design
Transparency celebrates the beauty of raw technology. Ear honours Nothing’s roots while giving our trademark design a new chapter.
Redesigned from the inside
A product of meticulous engineering and design, Ear debuts a robust, new ceramic diaphragm that delivers even more clarity and sound accuracy than before. A challenge for engineers but a clear winner for sound.
Beyond materials, we’ve also focused on structure. Increasing the diaphragm’s movement by 110% compared to Ear (2), for even deeper bass.
True mastery
Hi-Res Wireless Audio
Ear supports high-resolution streaming over Bluetooth. The result is powerfully pure audio with no quality damage. Just how the artist intended.
Up to 1 Mbps 24 bit/192 kHz with LHDC 5.0 and up to 990 kbps with frequencies up to 24 bit/96 kHz with LDAC*.
* Requires devices that support LHDC or LDAC
Bass Enhance algorithm
Enhance bass-heavy sounds and hear every detail, in real-time. Our algorithm detects and elevates the low frequencies in your music. So you never miss a beat. Toggle in the Nothing X app.
Advanced Equaliser
Go beyond treble and bass and tune music to exactly how you want to hear it. Create separate profiles for different genres. Then share or import via QR code.
Personal Sound Profile
Tailors music to how you hear on an individual scale. Create your hearing ID in the Nothing X app. The data recorded is then used in real-time to intelligently adjust equaliser levels on your hearing test results.
All music, no noise
Up to 45 dB
Nothing but the music. With up to 45 dB Active Noise Cancellation, Ear features our most effective and intelligent noise cancelling powers yet. Now 1.8x stronger than Ear (2).
Smart Active Noise Cancellation
Ear automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbud and your ear canal, then applies more noise cancellation to make up for it. So you receive the best possible noise cancellation. Happens every time you put them in.
Adaptive ANC
Next-level escapism. Switch between 3 levels of noise cancellation. Or let Ear take control. By selecting 'Adaptive' in the Nothing X app, Ear automatically applies the right level of noise cancellation according to your surroundings in real time, so you don't have to.

DISCLAIMER
1. Product images and display contents are illustrative only. Actual product and display contents may vary.
2. Before use, please open the charging case to trigger a new device pairing or reconnection.
3. For Nothing OS users, all device settings and customisations are already integrated into Nothing OS version 1.5.6 and higher. All users must update the Nothing X app in google play store before using to ensure all features are up to date.
4. Nothing Ear offers four noise cancelling modes (high, mid, low and adaptive), ranging from 15db to 45 db. “Adaptive” allows for intelligent, dynamic noise cancellation that adjusts itself automatically, compensating for ambient sounds in your surroundings.
5. Nothing Ear provides Smart ANC algorithm. The triggering of this algorithm needs to meet certain conditions, including (1) it must be worn when the memory mode is in ANC on - 'High' mode (means it enters ANC on - 'High' mode as soon as it is worn), (2) the earbuds' in-ear detection is turned on, (3) after each wear, within 3 seconds, the user cannot chew, and the ambient wind noise is not allowed to exceed 3m/s. Once the above conditions are met, the Smart ANC algorithm will automatically detect ear canal leakage and automatically generate noise cancellation parameters to compensate for the leaked noise and improve the noise cancellation effect.
6. LDAC transmission protocol (up to 990 Kbps) increases the maximum bit rate by approximately 3 times compared to AAC conventional transmission protocol (256 Kbps). The LDAC transmission feature requires both Bluetooth® connected devices to support the LDAC transmission protocol. The performance of this feature may vary depending on factors in the user’s environment.
7. LHDC 5.0 ultra HD transmission protocol (up to 1 mbps) increases the maximum bit rate by approximately 4 times compared to aac conventional transmission protocol (256 kbps). The LHDC transmission feature requires both bluetooth® connected devices to support the LHDC transmission protocol. the performance of this feature may vary depending on factors in the user’s environment.
8. Default settings are defined by Nothing. For non-Nothing smartphone users, please download the Nothing X app for more operations. This is available for download on Google Play and iOS App Store. Historical and personal data are managed in accordance with our privacy policy.
9. Latency can be reduced to as low as 120 ms when paired with Nothing phone devices, with game mode turned on.
10. When the earbuds need to be charged, please put the earbuds into the charging case and close it for charging.
11. Charging and battery life test data was measured using Nothing Power (45W) at ambient temperature (25° C or 77° F) in Nothing labs. When the charging case is connected to a type-c cable with the earbuds inside, Ear will fully charge from 0-100% in 90 minutes. Without plugging in the case, the earbuds will charge inside the charging case in 80 minutes.
12. Battery life: The earbuds and charging case are fully charged with Active Noise Cancellation turned off, 50% volume, and with AAC format and the rest of the features at default settings. Earbuds and charging case combined, delivers up to 40.5 hours of audio playback. Fast charge your Nothing Ear using a standard adapter or type-c usb charging cable. Requires 5V/1.5A adapter or higher. Actual battery life is affected by volume, frequency and duration of incoming calls, output source, environmental interference, product features used, usage habits, and other factors. Actual experience will depend on individual use.
13. Fast charge: Once the earbuds and charging case are out of power, 10 minutes of charge with Active Noise Cancellation turned off, 50% volume, AAC format, and the rest of the features at default settings. The earbuds and charging case will then last up to 8.5 hours of music playback. A single 10-minute charge of the earbuds themselves delivers 2 hours 36 minutes of playtime only. Charging and battery test results are based on Nothing laboratory results (25° C or 77° F).
14. Clear Voice Technology: Only applicable when the microphone is being used to record voice e.g., taking a call or recording a voice message. Reduces ambient noise for the microphone.
15. Nothing Ear earbuds have been tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP54 in compliance with IEC 60529 (International) while the charging case is IP55. Excludes charging case. Splash, water and dust resistance may decrease over time as a result of normal wear. Do not charge a wet device. Do not submerge the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty.
16. Dual Connection needs to be enabled on the device. For devices that are Nothing OS 1.5.6 and above, Dual Connection can be set up in the phone settings interface by entering the bluetooth interface. For other devices Android 5.0 and above, or iOS devices 13 and above, you can download and install the Nothing X app to set up. The Dual Connection function may perform differently on different devices and different use cases. Some laptops may have longer sound switching time.
17. Fast Pair will be available on all supported Android devices running Google Play services 11.7+ with compatibility back to Marshmallow (Android 6.0), while Find My and device renaming support is available from Android 10 onwards.
18. Use a wireless charger to charge the case, and place the bottom center of the charging case in line with the wireless charging area. You can also charge the case with a phone that supports wireless reverse charging.
19. Custom gestures and in-ear detection need to be turned on with a phone. For devices that are Nothing OS 1.5.6 and above, these functions can be set up in the phone settings by entering the bluetooth interface. For other devices Android 5.0 and above, or iOS devices 13 and above, you can download and install the Nothing X app to set these up. Ear allows customisable gestures triggered by double press, triple press, long press, and double press with long press. Customisable functions are volume up, volume down, voice assistant and switching noise cancellation modes.
