Pros and cons

According to our earbuds expert

Thanks to noise canceling, you can completely shut yourself off from your surroundings.
You can set up a personal listening profile and adjust the sound via an equalizer in the Nothing X app, like the bass reproduction or the treble.
You can charge the earbuds for 10 minutes and get 10 hours of extra battery life.
The noise canceling of headphones is stronger than that of earbuds.

Description

With the Nothing Ear Black, you can completely immerse yourself in your music or podcast. The earbuds strongly reduce ambient noise thanks to noise canceling. This way, you also won't hear your talking colleagues at a busy office. You can adjust your audio preferences in the Nothing X app. The app makes a scan of your ears and adjusts the equalizer accordingly, so you can listen to the music like the artist intended to. When you want to adjust the equalizer yourself, use the Nothing X app. The earbuds have an 8.5-hour battery life and the charging case a 33-hour battery life. That's 40.5 hours of music. If the battery still runs out, charge the earbuds for 10 minutes and get 10 hours of extra battery.

More than worth it

Good sound staging
Lots of tweaking possible in the app and you can share your preferences with others
They sound good out of the box without any settings
It might be my ears but sometimes the fit isn't quite right

As an audio engineer I was looking for a replacement for my airpods pro due to an outdated battery. I have developed some interest in Nothing's products in the last few months and the specifications were very promising. With a strange feeling I spontaneously got the Nothing ear's in the hope that I did not make a bad purchase.

To my surprise they are really very good! Out of the box with a Flat sound profile they already sound very good. But with the right setting they sound just a little bit better.

Here are my recommended settings:

Set basic sound profile to balanced,
Go to personalized sound and turn it on.

Do the hearing test.
Then turn on the richer function and set it to 30% intensity.
Then go to the bass boost setting and set it to 2.

They are only comparable to airpods pro in terms of sound quality with better low end.

Tastes differ of course but I can recommend them 100%.

Great value for money

Awesome good sound
Great app on Android
Personalized sound profile
Battery life

I am a bit of an audiophile and this is a very good product for the price. I also have real high end wired in ears, (Fiio) but this comes seriously close. The app is full of settings, but you can also go for the standard settings. Noise cancelling is good, not excellent, but for normal use completely fine. Design is neat, not flashy. Comes with 3 sizes of earplugs, so that should almost always fit well. I would recommend these earphones to friends!

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Best price-quality ratio in terms of earplugs

Handy fitting program for your ears
Own sound profile based on your hearing
Sit well
Perhaps the treble could have been a little better

150 euros for earplugs that you can compare with the most expensive ones available. Sound very good, nice noise cancellation.
