Thanks to noise canceling, you can completely shut yourself off from your surroundings.

The noise canceling of headphones is stronger than that of earbuds.

Description

With the Nothing Ear (a) Black, you can enjoy your favorite music in peace. The earbuds have noise canceling. This technology strongly reduces ambient noise, so you hear less of your surroundings when you're listening to music. You can adjust your audio preferences with the equalizer in the Nothing X app. This way, you can emphasize the bass or treble if you want to. You can also adjust the noise canceling in the app. The earbuds have a 9.5-hour battery life and the charging case has a 33-hour battery life. Combined, that's 42.5 hours of music. If the battery still runs out, you can charge the earbuds for 10 minutes and get 10 hours of extra battery.

Nothing is the goat

Equalizer
Sound
Battery
ANC is a bit inconsistent

After carrying around headphones for many years, I finally switched to earphones. For a long time I was convinced that this was not for me because these types of earphones always fell out, but not these! Press occasionally, but this is of course different for everyone.

What I really like is the equalizer, I work as a composer myself so this is certainly a requirement, I want to get the most out of my earphones. Even though this is not the most expensive model, I am still very surprised by it and it does exactly what I want. The battery also lasts at least a week, about 1 hour per day on the bike to give an idea. I do think it is a shame that he is switching to the ANC himself. So when I'm on the bike I hear wind, sometimes I don't and then I hear it again. By the way, the ANC is very good when the wind noise suppression is turned on.

If you are looking for beautiful earbuds that have many premium features, I definitely recommend them. I will continue to use headphones for sports!

Great sound, annoying control panel

Top sound quality
Nice design
Easy to connect
control panel malfunctions

They are great earphones everywhere. It is just incredibly annoying that they are light-sensitive to the pause button, which causes the sound to stop every time you run/work out and sometimes even for no reason. That is also the only thing you cannot turn off with your personalized control panel

Great product, connect well via the Nothing app and you can personalize the sound to your own wishes. For example, calling while cycling is no problem at all with these earphones.
