Nothing has officially teased the launch of its next-generation earbuds, the Ear (3). In a typical Nothing fashion, the company made a succinct post on X (formerly Twitter), simply stating, “Ear (3). Soon.”
The more interesting detail is in the name. After briefly shifting to a letter-based system with the Ear and Ear (a) in 2024, the company is reverting to numbers with its next earbud. That puts the new model back in line with the Ear (1) and Ear (2), which launched in July 2021 and March 2023, respectively.
The company explained that user feedback highlighted the importance of this naming approach; as a result, the upcoming model is called the Ear (3). Though it’s technically a fourth-generation product.
Nothing has not shared any details about what the Ear (3) will bring, and there haven’t been leaks yet either. So for now, it’s worth looking back at what the current-generation Ear offers.
The Nothing Ear features a custom 11mm ceramic driver, designed to deliver clearer sound with more pronounced bass. It supports Hi-Res Wireless Audio and comes with up to 45dB of active noise cancellation.
The ANC system is adaptive, adjusting in real time to compensate for sound leakage between the earbud and ear canal. Users can also switch between three noise cancellation levels depending on their environment.
On the connectivity side, the Ear supports Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-device pairing, allowing users to connect to two devices at once. Its battery life is rated at up to 8.5 hours of playback on a single charge, or 9.5 hours with ANC disabled. With the charging case, playback extends to around 40.5 hours.
