The DEFINITIVE REVIEW of the Nothing Ear (2024), Ear (a), and Ear (2) Compared by an AUDIO ENGINEER

The New Nothing Ear (2024) and Nothing Ear (a) are the latest wireless Bluetooth Earbuds from Nothing, but how do they compare, and is it worth the upgrade from the Nothing Ear (2)? In this review, I compare their performance in audio quality, ANC, Transparency, Mic, Call Quality, and more from an audio engineer's perspective.

As an ear (2) owner [and a PBP owner] I'll stand pat for now. Nothing is on an encouraging path w/ their audio products. I wish the mic quality was ~a bit clearer on my ear (2).

I had the ear 2s briefly before returning them. My Ear 2024 arrived today, and dude, let me tell you: It is miles better than the Ear 2. I personally think the Ear 2s have terrible sound. They lack Bass and the sound is way too bright. I think its definitely worth upgrading to the new Ear.

[@CodyDavisGuitar]

Fantastic review! I am mainly a Pixel Buds Pro user but I tried the Nothing Ear (2) last summer and was pleasantly surprised at how great the sound quality was. Really impressive. Ultimately, I ended up returning them because they felt uncomfortable with my ear shape for more than half an hour (not sure if Nothing Ear (2024) or (a) will be different fitting). Plus, I value battery life and intuitiveness/ease-of-use like swipe gestures much more than sound quality in my wireless buds so the Pixel Buds Pro check those boxes for me. When I need quality audio, I'm going to my IEMs or studio monitors since I'm a musician. But yeah, TOP NOTCH review dude! Very thorough and high quality.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Oh, yeah, they'd be a huge upgrade for sound. You should see my review on the Pixel Buds Pro to see how I really feel about them, lmao....yeah, I don't think the fit will be better for you and the PBP do have those nice ecosystem stuff going on. I just can't use them for sound as they truly hurt for me to listen to.

[@tiorontoron7531]

wow exactly what i needed, right when in needed it, well done!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thank you!

[@jigsaw4770]

Upgrading from the Ear 2 to the Ear, I used the "More bass" simple profile on the Ear 2, but it was too much bass on the Ear for me. - Switched to Balanced, while maintaining the "bass enhanced" feature. Definitely happy with the results, personally prefer the profile more now.

[@Mike_Hog_A_Nator]

This video sounds great on my Earfun Air Pro 3's. Surprisingly to me, my codecs changed in developer options. Having APTx, Qualcomm Chip, LDAC, etc. My S24 Ultra doesn't allow me to change these settings until I connect a pair of buds that offer these codecs. My Nothing Stem came apart & you cannot glue it back without messing it up, tape works & the bud still works but it doesn't last long, 4hrs maybe w/o ANC on.

[@TheOnlyNightmare]

Thank your for the review! Listening on my ear(2). I'll admit I mostly skipped around to the music tests and liked the ear (2) for most of them but the accoustic song. Your explanation of the paper sound is spot on! Thats what was annoying me! I noticed that i dont really like listening to spoken word aside from deep voices on my ear (2). I also learned that i will never use these for recordings again haha. Will listen again with my beyerdynamics later.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

You're welcome! Yeah, that papery sound is the timbre that makes it not sound as natural. I like how natural it sounds now. It's quite nice!

[@TheOnlyNightmare]

Alright, opinions still stands. Though I think I like the first funk song on the ears the best. I feel like there is a trade off with the (to me) better clarity on instruments and papery sound with words which are more like the spoken word.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Easy fix, just elevate the highs in the advanced EQ. You get all of that, better battery life, etc.

[@Jason-sz7ek]

Watching this like I haven't already copped and unboxed my Nothing Ears

[@jigsaw4770]

You know what's fun, - I owned the Ear 2 and just swapped it out for the ear. Absolute love them, - I am having issues with dual connection on Windows PC. -- When I connect to my PC, it causes my spotify to crash, it just hangs and can't "play the music right now" . I can replicate the issue over and over. If I use the "headset" mode, it works, but sounds like a phone call, horrible for music. When I switch to earphone mode, it totally craps out my spotify app 😆 - Spotify on my phone works just fine of course. -- very fun -- love them for my phone connection though

My Nothin Ear 2024 arrived today. I am coming from Airpods Pro 2 and I must say, these are AMAZING. I had previously tried the Nothing Ear 2 because everyone on youtube recommended them at the time and apparently they were tuned by a very popular audio youtuber and when I got them I was very disappointed. I thought they sounded awful and the sound was way too bright with no bass (at the time I had the normal Airpods 2nd gen, which were quite punchy). The Nothing Ear 2024 solved all the problems I had with the Ear 2s and the sound is better and more customizable than Airpods pro 2. Oh, and it works much better on Android and Windows.

The sub base alone makes the ear a better option than both, but it also has better miss the only thing I will do when I get them is to increase the highs a little and reduce the higher mid a smidge to get a more natural and balanced sound.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Sub bass is preference. You can easily add that with the bass enhance feature. Trying to get fine tuning on the Ear (a) is a lot harder, so what you're explaining will be harder than on the Ear.

Because it has more of the high end, but in your actual ear, it might be a bit too harsh or not. It also is thinner so it seems clearer but it may not be as full since it doesn’t have as much bass. It’s a nuanced thing.

As a frequent gym goer and owner of both airpods 3 and nothing ear 2, I'd say ya I'd the the anc is enough for gyming especially when playing music you can hear some outside noises (particularly higher frequencies like metal clanging noises) but bass frequencies are totally eliminated. In conclusion to the anc of my ear(2), I'd say it's pretty decent and is good enough for me to get into the zone (at least for me). Sound quality wise it's very good comparing to my other iems I own.

Anyone else find the volume up/down sound extremely grating? It sounds really sharp/high frequency to my ears- really weird choice, but maybe it's just me?

I use the crap our of my Sony XM1000's. They are sooo sooo nice

Should I get the ear2 now tho, or just wait for 3 lol

[@ThisIsTechToday]

This is the "3"

[@tonyy.8852]

​@@ThisIsTechToday I completely didn't realise they also launched a nothing ear, thanks XD

[@SibTiger33]

Transparency is poor and Nothing have finally acknowledged this and are currently looking into fixing this with a software update .... Until they do i cant recommand these new earbuds at all . Just get the ear(2)

[@wedthurfri443]

If you don't mind, can you link where they addressed they'd be fixing it?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Carl Tweeted it, but products are made to be reviewed as is, not based on future promises. It's worse than the Ear (2), and I'm not sure if it'll improve to a level matching the Ear (2) or surpass it. If it does surpass it, how much? The Ear (2) was pretty average already. x.com/getpeid/status/1783748694250008669

[@deykno87]

Nothing is notorious for thier sound eq shift thru ANC modes thru all models and have never fixed it

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Hopefully, they do!

[@sahildangol9040]

Wait so am I missing something? The ear came after ear(2) or...? Can someone explain?

[@Gunnar192]

Nothing released the "Nothing Ear (1)", then came the "Nothing Ear (2)", but they said they wanted to start with a clean slate and decide to get rid of the numbers and went with "Nothing Ear" and "Nothing Ear (a)" instead.

[@sahildangol9040]

@@Gunnar192 I see. Thanks

[@cesarmaldonado147]

do you think that Ear 2024 are better sounding than AirPods Pro 2 ?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Check the section on sound quality. I think it answers that very clearly and with more detail.

[@PaulLembo]

I don’t see where you actually answered that. There’s a very quick “underperforms the competition” reference but no context for who. Otherwise a great review. Ty!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

15:14 I did answer that. Not everything has to be on the nose.

[@jzerocat23]

Just got the ear 2's for 50 bucks so I think I got bang for my buck

[@tilo2055]

Can you do a review and test of the Technics AZ80 as well as comparison to other wireless earbuds Sony, Nothing ear, Air Pro 2, etc. @ThisIsTechToday

[@afapwocky]

wow the ear(a) seems to have incredibly bad ANC, i was just about to buy it but now i definitely wont

[@TemporallyYours]

Don't love that they soft-locked the advanced EQ from the Ear (a). Wanted the yellow, didn't care about wireless charging- so couldn't really justify $50 for a software feature.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I hear you.
