Last week, we reported on an upcoming black color variant of Nothing ear (1) earbuds. Now, Nothing has put all rumors to rest by announcing the black edition of their TWS earphones.

The Nothing ear (1) black edition earbuds are set to hit the markets on December 13 and will retail at the same price as the white version: $99. The company is marketing the new color as a “limited edition” but added that it hopes it’ll become “a permanent addition to its range.”

Aside from the new color scheme, which offers the earbuds in transparent plastic with a matte black finish, these earbuds are functionally identical to the white variant Noise released earlier this year.

The Nothing ear (1) black limited edition features ultralight earbuds that weigh just 4.7 grams each. The TWS sports an 11.6mm speaker driver and supports active noise cancellation. The company claims up to 5 hours of listening time with the earbuds, while this extends up to 34 hours with the charging case. Notably, the case supports wireless charging. The Nothing ear (1) black limited edition comes with IPX4 sweat and water resistance and features a dedicated mobile app for Android and iOS.

Much like the original ear (1) TWS, the new ear (1) black edition will also be made available with the engraved version for the first 100 customers.

Nothing has also announced that in select countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Japan, it will allow people to purchase ear (1) black edition with Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

Carl Pei’s Nothing has been doing rather well for itself having tasted success with its very first product itself. Over 180,000 units of the Nothing ear (1) earbuds have been sold already, and the numbers would’ve been even higher had the supply not been so limited. And with such limited stock, it wasn’t surprising to see the earbuds sell in only a single white color option. But that will be changing soon as rumors and leaks about a new black color option have begun to surface.

Just over a week ago, a tipster had disclosed that Nothing is planning to release the Nothing ear (1) black variant soon. And now, we have an actual image of the product, courtesy of prominent leakster @evleaks.

As clear from the above, the black Nothing ear (1) are expectedly identical to their white counterpart and retain the iconic transparent design for both the earbuds and the case. However, the bits that were white earlier have now been splashed with black.

And no, in case you are wondering, the cute little ladybug depicted in the photo does not come free with the earbuds, which is frankly rather disappointing.

Other than the change of color, the Nothing ear (1) in black will likely be preserving all of the goodness from the white variant. As such, their fitting will be as comfy as it can get, with the earbuds weighing just 4.7g each – light enough to forget you’re wearing them. The battery is decent, capable of lasting for 4 hours, 30 minutes with ANC turned on, and 6 hours with ANC off. The charging case boosts the playback time to 34 hours. The earbuds are protected against the elements through an IPx4 rating and come with Bluetooth 5.2 support.
