The volume is dropping when i use advance EQ

[@dalmeow]

I always bought earphones thinking that the LDAC on the more expensive ones don't matter, but the first time I actually got a Sony Linkbuds S and tried out Apple Music lossless with it, I was kinda blown away. I was hearing and noticing new things like the different instruments in songs that I had listened to for years and never noticed before. Could never go back to Spotify after that. It wasn't quite night and day but more like night and twilight for sure though. It is that much more richer and fuller and clearer, that's the only way I can express what it sounds like. A couple of my friends had very similar experiences after I made them try it out as well. So, IMO you should give it a try before deciding if it matters to you or not. Happy listening to everyone :)

[@khuebachkarol]

Bit weird naming scheme.. Ear(1), ear(2) , ear, ear(a).. Why not ear(3)?

[@MonticArckeys]

Because marketing

[@superchristopher]

They decided to drop the numbers for the earbuds. My guess is it won't be updated yearly anymore so they dropped the number to make it less confusing down the line with their other products

They've made Nothing Phone 2a, a cheaper version of Nothing Phone,. Easy guess why Nothing ear (a)...

[@daddyganesh8958]

[@Luis-325]

The graph of the new Ear is looking really good. My biggest complaints with the tuning of the Ear (2) were that the bass is too boomy and the treble is too shrill. My listening preference is a bit flatter than what the stock Ear (2) offers, so I reduced the mid-bass and peaks in the treble region. Side note, I also agree with DMS' statement about using EQ when the device allows the profile to be saved onboard.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Sounds like the Ear will be the right choice for ya! Yes, he’s spot on.

[@martinvankerckhoven8051]

This was amazing. Kudos for doing this.

[@exhibitD79]

*The new naming convention change is a HUGE mistake - and here is why* ...Marketing goals aside, what happens when people are googling to buy this earphone? They are going to get both the 1st generation and the 3rd generation in their results. This is an SEO nightmare and an e-commerce fail big time. And yes, the 1st generation is still availble for sale in many places.

[@malcontent_1]

Thank you for this dialogue. I agree that this video may be a useful technical resource in the future.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

[@2phonesbabyken]

If the battery life is improved from ear (2) I could totally see myself making the jump to ear or ear (a)

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Yes, that was an area that bothered me a lot in the prior model.

[@6cmh3]

Great to hear audio is an improvement over my Ear (2), even if it's slight. I always preferred the Ear 2 over every other device for it's audio quality and eq. I'm hoping we have touch controls for volume like Apple and much improved transparency (why is transparency mode overlooked!) as I am hoping to upgrade to make my fav wireless buds even better

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Yeah! I have a lot of tests I’m working on for the full review, so we’ll see!

[@DonutDoch]

ooh now I gotta dig more into the nothing ears! On a side note, have you tried the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2? It is a hybrid of an xMEMs solid state driver and a 10mm dynamic driver, and it has the best tuning and sound quality I've ever heard from a wireless.

[@jondandavekinanahan7488]

Hello sir,what is the best sounding earbuds under 200$?so far im torn between nothing ear(the new one) and the status between 3anc

[@FogzOpGaming]

Can you please help me Should I go with ear(a) or ear(2)?

[@McGarret100]

Hi guys, thanks for the video. Very interesting and love the technical explanations. I had the nothing ear (1) and I am now deciding whether I should buy the air pods pro 2 or the Nothing ear 2024 using an iPhone. And my big 3 priorities are sound quality, call quality in wind and ANC. Since apple wins the ANC and Nothing with the call quality it’s all about the sound. Now apparently the air pods pro 2 have a clearer & crisper sound and thus are better BUT I thought I can change that with the EQ on tje Nothing ear. Or is this a technical issue and the air pods are really better in sound quality? Would highly appreciate your input.

[@deykno87]

Man…I wanted to hear about the anc🫤 and drastic eq shift between modes on all nothing models and cmf models so far…I really hope this is fixed it’s a major oversight

[@GATAM_]

Hey....Which is better...new Nothing Ear or Oppo Enco X2.... since both are under same price range....by better i mean in Sound Quality....since main Job of the TWS is sound.

[@FiaDess]

hows the fit and comfort in both ear and ear(a)? also did it comes with spare ear tips? and can we change it to different ear tips? loves the video, and thank you so much for bringing DMS for share his perspective

[@ThisIsTechToday]

It's pretty much the same size and fit as the prior Ear and Ear (2). Here's an unboxing of the (a) which is the same as the Ear. kzbin.infoiKmNY-qRqOg Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KmtS9]

Great collab video!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thank you!!

[@user-nu7vj1ch1m]

Sir, what is ur thought on buying Nothing Ear 2 over latest Nothing Ear?? Is it worth buying Ear 2 now or shall I need to wait for the launch of new Ear ?

[@exhibitD79]

*Should we EQ with IEMs?* - If you are using wired IEM, but only have a couple, and always use it on the same device, then it sounds like EQ is totolly a thing to do right?

[@kestrel8313]

An audiophile here watching this video with the ear2, confused for a bit when hearing about the "ear". I use PEQ on the ear2 to mimick the sound of other IEMs, and this is the main reason why I chose the ear2, glad to hear that they are keeping this. Great collab video with DMS! Hope to see more in the future.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@steveny9972]

May I ask what microphone do you use, and how you hook that up so it doesn't show on your video? Sounds so crispy. Do you tweak it or is that out of the box? Thank you

[@pmmcrobb]

I'm hoping the size of the Ear is marginally smaller than the Ear(2). They ever so slightly hurt my ears after some time. Versus the Airpod Pros, which fit perfectly for me.

[@odetojamie]

exccited glad to hear the sound isnt worse and is actually better

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I definitely like them more!

[@Ooopsiiful]

hows the comfort? for pro long hours of using it.

[@SibTiger33]

I felt the sound on the. Nothing ear 2 was fine. The parts they needed to improve were anc and transparency mode...

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Guess we'll have to see. The Ear has even better sound, IMO.

[@jadomi2076]

Agree. Oddly enough I find that the ANC actually improves audio but is completely useless as ANC.

[@antonyp6617]

How do the (a) compare to the ear 2? The ear 2 are at the same price right now thanks to discounts, so I wonder which ones would be the best deal.

[@babereni]

I also want to know that

[@xray718]

Great breakdown on codecs! I'd like to add my experience: using Bose QC Ultra earbuds with Deezer HiFi, I can actually hear a subtle difference when switching between AAC and aptX Adaptive. While it's not night-and-day, it's noticeable to me. I think it's crucial to have either a high-bitrate stream OR a high-performance Bluetooth codec to maintain good audio quality. This way, you avoid compounding quality loss from both a low-bitrate stream and a basic codec like SBC. That said, I agree that factors like tuning often have a more significant impact on overall sound quality for most listeners.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Totally. We’re on the same page! There’s an order of operations. People just put codec before tuning way too much.

[@jigsaw4770]

I literally bought the Ear 2, two weeks ago -_- I have returned them and got the Ear on the way, lol -- interesting to check out the improvements.

[@thedanny1372]

Have you noticed diffrences ? Do you reccomend the fresh buyer for nothing earbusds 2 or earbuds 2024 ?

[@jigsaw4770]

@@thedanny1372 100% Nothing Ear 2024, the I only paid like $20 more after taxes from the return of the Ear 2, it was so well worth it, the muticonnect has been awesome - sound wise definitely more variety too, I’m very happy with change I made, I would definitely recommend the newer model 😁👍

[@rayith]

I hope your guys tested these on Android to actually hear the upgraded codex. As Apple only supports AAC and SBC only, so these benefits only appear on the Android operating system. Fairly different audio experience entirely between the two different operating systems. This is even more apparent in the higher end of wireless earbuds.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

It was tested using the OnePlus 12. Still, watch the section on codecs.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

My Nothings come apart at the stem seam in hot weather here in SE Texas. Then I bought the $55 on sale Earfun Air Pro 3's and was blown away.. Nothing has Nothing on these. ANC is about the same but I don't need it because at 60% volume I can't hear anything, that 60% on my Earfun's are the same for my Nothings at 85% volume plus I get 9+ hours of great Audio.

[@guppei7365]

Is it possible to tune the nothing ear eq to match other in ears such as Airpods or Samsung? Or at least achieve similar sound?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

With the advanced EQ, you're more capable of doing so than most other earbuds. I can't say you can match it, but you have a better tool to get there.

[@vsepotap]

Atomic content! And speaking of sound and music, first of all it is about emotions, even color of a coffee cup have impacto on taste of coffee. And design, aspecially the yellow Cyberpunk nothing ear a, does the job. I wanted the yellow version from the launch of first ones, because it's they're the only cyberpunk earbuds in the real world. Thank you again for helping me make а choice.

[@rumengabrovski3891]

Are those buds really play stereo sound ? There is no left or right sign on the buds and I cannot hear stereo effects on familiar songs ?

[@virtualrealitytv660]

Could anyone share their Advanced EQ settings for the Nothing Ear? I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find a good one.

[@blackhawk69100]

Ive used all of nothings audio products apart from the neckband pro. For me personally i didnt see a huge difference from ear 1 to ear 2. I also think the noise cancelling on NE2 isnt great at all. However the products i honestly think have delivered the most value for money is the CMF buds and buds pro. Ive actually managed to pull very good sound from both. For me personally i was able to get very close indeed to the NE2 quality. The ones that shocked me most was the CMF buds. The noise cancelling on any nothing product in my view isnt that great, so it only really boils down to sound quality. When you consider how much the CMF buds are, its crazy. So im hoping that all lessons learned, we get even better quality from the new Nothing ear and NEa. Im not an audio snob at all but the Nothing X app really does need a little more work as ive had to use a good quality EQ app to really make all the Nothing audio products pop and tame some of their weaknesses.

[@m.rajeshkumar5131]

Need some opinion from this ear a looks like it does everything like ear. But if u can suggest any reason to choose ear over ear a what it can be.? Bcuz in video it's mentioned that even in sound ear a is better straight out of box, I just need some help to decide.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

We didn’t say that. It varies depending on person. I like the ear more. The ear also has wireless charging and the advanced EQ.

Which is better air pods pro 2 or new nothing ear 2024 ?? Please reply

[@Ajajambo]

I have both and to be fair the nothing ear app alone is enough, not to mention the price. The new Ear are phenomenal, the sound quality is out of this world and they look the business. You will not be disappointed at all. I am not sure what genre you listen to but the Ear can handle everything with such clarity.

[@verum_yxsh]

20:30 is it better than OPPO Enco Air 3 Pro??

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I didn’t find the Oppo to be tuned very well, and was overly scooped but had tons of Codec support. But again, tuning > codecs.

[@mileshayes3652]

Hi, I could use help. I use an Pixel 7a and it supports LDAC and only aptx, not higher. Now I can get the nothing ear for 100 USD ( (LDAC compatibility with my phone) or the Denon PerL pro for 200USD (aptx compatibility with my phone). The nothing would have a better bandwidth etc. but the Denon might be better tuned/better sounding. What is your opinion?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I wouldn't worry about bandwidth but tuning. It depends on what you want. I think the Nothing Ear (2024) punches way above its weight and can be tuned quite easily. Some people might like that Denon sound out of the box. It honestly depends on your preferences. Also, Nothing still has mediocre ANC and transparency, so there's that.

[@baconblt1239]

is the ear and ear a better then ear 2?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

[@padmanabhmayekar9199]

they mentioned in the video they support LDAC and LDHC codec but the other genius dude said codecs really don't matter that much. that's new knowledge to me, but gotta take the nerds word for it. and he might be right cause LHDC is suitable for applications like gaming and video streaming more rather than music quality. ps: calling him nerd is actually a compliment.

[@moosahyshem]

​@@ThisIsTechTodaysorry about that sir it is because I can I couldn't find a video about nothing in ur channel

[@explodingheavens]

1. frm what I know right now, nothing ear 1/2/new should be the best for bassheads after boosting EQ - since driver can take this. Though I take this with a pinch of salf, since my buds hit the limit(electronically) and even wired ones hit limit with my powerful amp(but physically). I'm just very needy for dub and subbass. 2. codecs, well there is a reason why it matters, even streaming through ldac sound feels limited compared to wire so every little helps. 3.dac is what matters the most, anyone who hears sony's dseehx or devialet upscale tech, even over bluetooth, its way better. 4. eq I use mostly to tune down bad highs on headphones or to make a linear slash to not destroy response completely but take up bass, like +5 +4 +3....-2 -3 -4 freq setting. 5. Nothing ear sounds way fuller compared to others, but mainly no thin or sibilant 10k+ range(at least in comparison). Great thing about tws is they can be used fast and simply, with getting some noise isolation or transparency when needed. I got nuraloop capable of about 16h playback, lots of bass and wire connection - so there is basically everything (just not foam tips I want). Battery matters a lot to make it all running and though I do not expect Nothing ear to run long, I hope the are loud at least. Who would though that ''pretty buds'' will sound so good XD

[@FettesBrot15]

Cause of its similar price, are the Ear 2 clearly better than the Ear A?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I like that the Ear 2 has wireless charging and advanced EQ. That matters more to me. The batter life and the color is what makes the A compelling.

[@One_Bar]

$100 on the website and they come in yellow. Very compelling coupled with the video knowledge.

[@freireag]

Great video! I wonder how the Ear (a) compares with the Ear (2), because probably we can find them on similar prices. Maybe the EQ and sound profiling are great features that tops the Ear (a) new tuning?

I don't read the literature or anything, but have been keeping tabs on the audiophile hobby long enough that I understand in a basic sense what HRTF is, how to read frequency response measurements, and how to EQ the gear that I own, and I'm glad you two talked about some of that stuff for a good portion of the video so hopefully some of your viewers come away learning something new here.

The max volume of the phone/mac is reached but volume is low, specifically for watching videos not listening to music, i use the other circular EQ instead, still gives me some control and affects the max volume a little less, the 2 EQ presets supplied by default have way higher max volume levels, this reminds me of my Audeze Penrose EQ, it lowers the volume to prevent clipping i think

Interesting. I haven’t had a need to hit the max volume. That would start damaging your hearing for extended use at those volumes. That makes me concerned about your ears.

I can't even tell how many times I tried to swipe that hair from my phone's screen, then finally realising it's on his laptop screen...

I know, right?

[@godanjanyt1283]

we want oneplus buds pro 2 if you want audiopile quality and fully fine tuned oneplus buds pro 2 is the best

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I thought they were worse than the first ones.

[@godanjanyt1283]

brother i have tuned fully balanced bass mids and treble and they are outstanding even bose,apple,sony,bowers and willkins cant even come close. and they have best soundstage out of all the earbuds including denon perl pro....... you should defenitely test them out and give your honest review i tuned them with sound id and hey melody app, thanks for your reply

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I still don’t like them as much as the first. Sorry. That’s my honest review.

[@MonticArckeys]

The naming is horrendous... What are we going to call it? Nothing Ear (2024)?

[@JannesDragon]

just Nothing Ear

[@jfaroque]

it will be like Airpods Nothing Ear gen.3 (2024) next gen.4 (202..??)

[@dpgwalter]

Genuinely don't understand how people can't understand the name. They're likely divorcing from the yearly release schedule, so just like Apple they'll have Ear as their latest product, and maybe Ear (3rd gen) if they need to refer to an older version. Looks cleaner and removes the yearly expectation.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

This is exactly what is going on. They want you to feel confident you can buy something and use it for a long-time without worrying or feeling like you need to upgrade every year. They're finally at a mature spot where they have things figured out and sorted so they don't need to iterate as much.

Nothing more annoying and irritating than people who treat their audience as dumb people, it’s so condescending and rude! You’re not all that, stop treating the audience like idiots

[@raviahuja1586]

Well, when it comes to sound/music, I am one of those dumb people. I don't know much about anything, and I liked how they explained it in the video coz even though I might not have understood every single thing, I did understand most of it, which really helped in making the decision. So yeah, I guess you're wrong there buddy.
