Nothing has officially unveiled its latest premium truly wireless earbuds. The Nothing Ear (3) isn’t just one of the premium earbuds that promise great audio and powerful ANC, but also brings some nifty new features. There are several new updates this year, so let’s check them out.
Nothing Ear (3): What makes it special?
Getting some of the typical specs and features out of the way first, the Nothing Ear (3) just debuted with 12mm dynamic drivers. These earbuds support in-ear detection, Low Lag Mode, and 8-band Equalizer. Nothing promises improved bass and treble along with a wider soundstage. The Ear (3) connects via Bluetooth 5.4, bringing LDAC support. Oddly enough, these models skip LHDC 5.0 support, which was available in its predecessor.
The Nothing Ear (3) features up to 45dB ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) that can be adjusted with 4 modes. You also get a transparency mode and clear voice technology, which is powered by a 3 microphone setup. But what makes these hearables actually stand out is the Super Mic tech. The brand even uses a bone-conduction Voice Pick-up Unit (VPU) that can detect micro vibrations from the jaw and ear canal. This feature has the charging case double as a dedicated mic since it houses a dual microphone setup.
Nothing claims that the system can filter ambient noise up to 95dB, which can be used to record voice notes directly from the case to Nothing’s Essential Space. The charging case also gets a redesign with a metallic body that includes a transparent top lid. Apart from using AI for the environmental noise cancellation system, the earbuds also arrive with ChatGPT integration similar to the Nothing Ear (a). On a single full charge, the earbuds offer up to 10 hours of audio playback, which falls to 5.5 hours with ANC enabled. Pairing it with the charging case, the battery life jumps to up to 38 hours (22 hours with ANC on).
For convenient controls, the Nothing Ear (3) arrives with pinch controls like the AirPods Pro. So users can pinch to play/pause, skip forward, skip back, answer calls, reject calls, and even switch between ANC and transparency modes, control volume, and launch the assistant. Other notable features include AAC and SBC audio codecs, Hi Res audio, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual device connection, Static Spatial Audio, and an IP54 rating on both the earbuds and case for water and dust resistance.
The charging case supports Qi wireless charging and offers 10 hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charging. Nothing’s Ear (3) has just been announced in White and Black color variants for 179 US Dollars. Pre-orders are already live via the brand’s official website and through select partners. First sales kick off on 25th September 2025. As of right now, the pricing and availability details have been confirmed for the US, UK, and Europe. However, the details for a wider release should surface soon.
