Last year, the startup brand Nothing unveiled its first TWS earbuds, called Nothing Ear (1), which gained huge popularity among consumers due to their unique transparent design. The company is also gearing up to unveil affordable Ear (Stick) buds on October 26. Now, a new report has shared product images of Nothing’s next pair of earbuds, called Ear (2), hinting the new hearables might launch soon.
91Mobiles, in collaboration with Kuba Wojciechowski, has shared a few renders of the upcoming Nothing Ear (2), showcasing their design. We can see that both the earbuds and the charging case feature a transparent design, which is fairly similar to the previous gen Ear (1). There’s a plastic module in the case, which likely contains all the electronic elements and the battery. The only difference we detected is the “ear (2)” branding on the stem of the buds instead of the Nothing logo.
Hardware details for the Nothing Ear (2) are still unknown. We should learn more details about them as the launch nears.
Nothing ear (1) specifications
The Nothing Ear (1) debuted last year with an out-of-the-box design and decent features. It comes with 11.6mm dynamic drivers and supports AAC and SBC codecs. The TWS earbuds support ANC (active noise cancellation) and also sport a transparency mode that lets users hear their surroundings through their earbuds. They have touch controls on the stem, which can be used to control playback and toggle ANC and transparency modes.
Nothing Ear 1 offers up to 5.7 hours of battery life on a single charge and a total of 34 hours with the charging case. The case can be charged through USB Type C and Qi wireless chargers. The company recently increased the pricing of the Ear (1). It now retails at $149.
