UPDATE - May 6th: Firmware 1.01.43. The transparency mode has been improved on the Ear. There is less occlusion so you own voice when you speak sounds more natural. Distant sounds have been enhanced but nearby voices are still the same if not slightly worse. Overall it is still better and I'm now scoring them a 7.5 out of 10. I just released a video on this as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2TMmoaEq7uWppo Small error with codecs. The Ear (2) does NOT have LDAC. That is all 👋

I have come to the conclusion too ..the only thing that matters is the tuning of the earbud and the quality of the music file .. if you have 24bit track playing on a decent android phone and the earbud is tuned nice .. anything from AAC is enough . between AAC - AptX or LDAC is a very small difference most people can't even hear anyways ..unless you have triained ears or experience using premium headphones

Thank you indeed for your astonishing production. But honestly we need your consultation with the following. In case the highest priority is for phone calls on the move with the portability of the buds for daily work, I agree with you that "nothing ear" is just perfect for phone calls, but the absence of a hook makes it harder for daily working lifestyle, especially if we need to keep a single bud in pocket after using, and then place it on ear to immediately catch a call without getting back to a case. I checked your other video for the open ear ones (which has a hook on the ear) but phone calls quality are far less comparing to "nothing ear". So what do you recommend?

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your videos, especially for mentioning mono mode in your reviews. It's really helpful for someone like me with a hearing impairment-I have total hearing loss in my left ear, so knowing whether earbuds support true mono mode is crucial for me. Your insights are really unique and valuable because not many reviewers talk about this feature. I have a quick question regarding the Nothing Earbuds (2024): do they support true mono mode, where both channels are combined and played in a single earbud? If not, do you think using the Mono Audio setting in the Accessibility options (on a Samsung Galaxy S23+) would work without affecting sound quality? Thanks again for your work, and I really appreciate your attention to these details! Best regards,

Why cannot companies just get gesture controls right? The controls here are one of the better ones but having to pinch (or double pinch) and hold on either of the buds being volume down (or up) doesn't allow you to adjust volume using one bud only. I had the same with the Linkbuds and Jabra's Elite 10. Why is swiping up and down on the stem such a big deal? All 3 generations of Huawei Freebuds Pros (1, 2 and 3) had this 2-3 years ago. It is such a small nuance but the lack of this is a show stopper for me. I hope I am not being Picky here ;) (y'know what I mean)

Strangely the only earbuds I got complains from the other end with while talking on the phone where the ear 2 and the studio buds plus. I had to stop using them for taking phone calls, what brought me back to my linkbuds s as daily drivers - as I end up with them always since I got them, incredible good overall earbuds.

That is interesting! Linkbuds S are solid though

Love the reviews you should check out the Cambridge Melomania M100, I've heard a lot of good things and would like to see how you rate them compared to the rest.

My galaxy buds2 went through the washing machine so need to be replaced. Think ill get these non (a) version. Squeeze button will be great vs capacitive touch since i used to always have them randomly pausing if i was out in the rain or wearing a hood.
