Nothing Ear(3) sounds amazing! Nice clarity and an excellent app support.

[@1ahab]

I would have loved a clearer conclusion who is best in terms of sound quality. Also I would have loved a comparison to its predecessor, the CMF Buds Pro. I recently returned the Buds and the Buds Pro have been considered more or less the same in terms of sound quality.

[@wilsk003]

There was recently an update for buds pro and it improved the bass as well as the sound, in standard mode

[@ggroch]

Just got the Pro 2 in and they sound nothing like the Buds Pro....massive bass and bass bloat compared to the older Pro. It is better if you turn off the default Ultra Bass boost, but the overall sound is still shouty and lacks clarity. The simplified EQ makes it hard to adjust compared to a 10 band EQ. Aaron mentions the bass, but I was not prepared for how overpowering it was. It does not really compare to any of the previous CMF/Nothing buds I have used.

[@wilsk003]

@@ggroch I was referring to the previous pro, the update improved some details... I use it balanced and the noise cancellation level on medium... I like the sound

[@saadjameel1820]

Feedback on the color-grade and Shadows/Highlights adjustments of this video: It looks like you've lifted the shadows so much that the parts that were supposed to be darker aren't actually dark like the buds and their case. Plus, the color-grade done for the shadows is very weird, it' making the CMF Buds look sort of dark green.

Hey Aaron you are my favorite headphones reviewer. What phone are you using to test the microphone quality on? I have an iPhone so I was wondering what it sounds like on an iPhone. Just don’t want to buy this if it doesn’t sound like this with an iPhone. I’m thinking of grabbing a nothing ear as a back up & because it’s budget friendly. Need clear calls because it’s really noisy during my dialysis treatments

Liberty 3 pro lacking rumbling bass? I had to grab them from my basement and test them. They rumble so much. It gotta be your phone or music source.

​@@petermurage8685 i wish that was the case. Use the lp3s on both my s23 ultra and note 20 ultra using poweramp. Also tried other music players to see if it was the mp3 player. My samsung buds fe have a deeper sub rumbling bass than the lp3s. The lp3s have bass, but its not the sub low rumbling type. Lp3s bass is good for electronic music, but not so much for rap or hip hop. Tried different eartip and wing sizes...same result. Yea..i know rumbling bass isnt considered audiophile quality...but i like it. Wish flagship phones still had headphone jacks...tws just dont compare with wired, especially if u use a headphone amp with them.

Nearly an instant-buy for me. But they say the battery life is 4.5h with ANC on. If that were true it would be just ok for a budget pair. However the Ear (2) I believe had similar time estimate, and I can’t even get 2 hours from it. It’s usually dead before I leave the gym and start work😮 a complete deal breaker on an otherwise amazing pair.

[@wirbelwind5309]

Sorry to say. I bought the phone, buds pro 2 and the watch to have a set. The watch software is not quite good, but OK in later versions maybe they fix the issues. The buds pro 2 were horrible. Due to the noise cancellation the right bud makes waterfall noises what caused headache. The contact to the support is really hard, they always want so much informations like serial number, version, order number and so on and so forth. With many struggle and 8 to 9 mails they wanted to send me and exchange label which is not working, so I gave up trying to get help from nothing. Now I know why the company name is nothing. I would recommend no-one to buy phones or any other devices.
