Last week, Nothing confirmed the launch date for its new earbuds — April 18. The aptly named Nothing Ear will be a premium option, while the Nothing Ear (a) is positioned as a more affordable choice.
Leading up to the big reveal, both the Nothing Ear and Ear (a) have been leaked, revealing images, detailed specs, and pricing for the earbuds.
The upcoming Nothing Ear will succeed the Ear (2), and based on the latest leak, it’s expected to be priced similarly at €150.
In terms of design, the earbuds will maintain the company’s transparent signature look and will be available in classic black and white colors.
Additionally, the earbuds are reported to have an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, and the case has an IPX2 rating. Users can expect up to 7.5 hours of playback with ANC off, with the case extending that to 33 hours.
On the other hand, the Nothing Ear (a) will be a more affordable option at just €100. Impressively, Nothing hasn’t compromised on essential features.
According to the leak, Ear (a) will still provide active noise cancellation, convenient dual connection support, and quick charging capabilities.
The battery life appears promising as well, offering 8 hours with ANC off, with the case extending it to a total of 38 hours. The Ear (a) will also share the same IP54 rating as its premium counterpart, while surprisingly, its case is said to have an even better IP55 rating.
Like the Ear, Nothing Ear (a) is expected to come in the company’s classic Black and White color options. Additionally, there will be a new yellow colorway which is rumored to be more eco-friendly, although the specifics of this claim are still unclear.
