Apart from unveiling the Nothing Phone (4b), Nothing has also introduced the new Nothing Ear (3a), expanding its affordable audio lineup. The latest true wireless earbuds retain the same price as their predecessor while bringing several notable upgrades, including onboard storage, a new Audio Snapshot feature, built-in call recording, and improved active noise cancellation.

Nothing Ear (3a) specifications and features

One of the biggest additions is Audio Snapshot, which allows users to save short clips of what they are listening to directly from the earbuds. Powered by 32MB of onboard flash storage, the feature can be activated with a pinch gesture and saves the recording to the Nothing X app, where it can be replayed, edited, shared and transcribed. The earbuds also support call and meeting recording for up to two hours, with an audible notification informing all participants whenever recording starts.

For audio, the Ear (3a) features 12mm dynamic drivers with Hi-Res Audio Wireless, LDAC support and an advanced 8-band equaliser for sound customisation. Nothing says the upgraded 45dB Active Noise Cancellation covers a wider frequency range and delivers around 17 percent better noise cancellation than the previous generation.

The earbuds are also equipped with Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity, IP54 dust and splash resistance, and come with an extra-small ear tip for improved comfort.

Nothing claims the earbuds can deliver up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge, while the charging case extends the total playback time to 42 hours with ANC disabled. With ANC enabled, users can expect up to 25 hours of combined battery life. A quick five-minute charge is said to provide up to one hour of listening time. The charging case also features a three-stage LED indicator to display the remaining battery level.

Nothing Ear (3a) price and availability

The Nothing Ear (3a) is priced at $99 and is available in Black, White, Yellow and the new Pink colour option through Nothing’s official channels.

The post Nothing Ear (3a) launched with Audio Snapshot, call recording and 42-hour battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nothing is set to introduce the Nothing Ear (3a) on July 7 — tomorrow — alongside the Phone (4b). Spoiling the fun for the brand, German publication WinFuture has released a set of images, showing the earbuds in all colors. 

The overall design isn’t much different from what we are used to from Nothing. The in-ear buds are packed in a transparent case with a cradle that matches the color of the earbuds themselves. Speaking of which, Nothing is introducing a new pink option for the Ear (3a), while it will also be available in yellow, white, and black. 

Nothing Ear (3a) Specifications 

As for the specs, the Ear (3a) is said to house 12mm audio drivers that will support LDAC and Hi-Res Audio Wireless. The marketing material also reveals a feature called “audio snapshots.” New for Nothing earbuds, the feature could be an easy way to take quick voice memos. 

It can be enabled by pressing the touch-sensitive area in the stem, but while on calls, it starts call recording. There is no word on whether the earbud supports active noise cancelling, but since they have an in-ear tip-style design, you can expect a decent level of noise cancellation nonetheless. 

According to the report, the Ear (3a) could cost around €99 in Europe. A direct conversion means you could be spending close to $115 in the US, but Nothing usually decides the US price separately. We are expecting an MSRP of $99. That’s for Nothing to decide, and since the launch is just a few hours away, you won’t have to wait that long for full official details.

The post Nothing Ear (3a) poses for pictures in new color options before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nothing is expanding its audio lineup with a new pair of affordable true wireless earbuds called the Ear (3a).

The company just officially confirmed the earbuds and their launch date, and they’re dropping on July 7 at 11:00 BST, the exact same day as the Nothing Phone (4b). It looks like they’re planning a nice little ecosystem event.

A short teaser video shows the Ear (3a) in four fresh colors: white, black, yellow, and a fun new pink option. The buds keep Nothing’s signature transparent design, but the extra color choices give them more personality. Fun fact: the teaser was apparently shot using the upcoming Phone (4b), which nicely ties everything together.

Pricing hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but leaks suggest it’ll be in the same ballpark as the previous Ear (a), around €99 in Europe. That would keep it nicely positioned as a solid budget-friendly option in Nothing’s “a” series.

We don’t have full specs yet, but people are hoping for improvements in sound quality, battery life, or features like wireless charging on the case. Since it sits below the regular Ear (3) models, it will probably focus on delivering the essentials really well: comfortable fit, good connectivity, and smooth integration with Nothing phones.

This feels like a smart move from Nothing. They’ve been steadily building a fun, distinctive ecosystem, and launching the earbuds together with the new phone creates a nice cohesive story. For budget-conscious buyers who like stylish, well-matched gadgets, this could be quite appealing.

We’ve only got about a week until the official launch, so more details on noise cancellation, drivers, mics, and battery life should start trickling out soon.

The post Nothing Ear (3a) launch date and colors confirmed; design teased appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nothing has not officially announced the Ear (3a) yet, but some early details are already coming to light.

Last year, Nothing introduced the Ear (3) as its flagship pair of wireless earbuds. Now, the London-based company appears to be working on a more budget-friendly version, the Nothing Ear (3a).

This isn’t entirely surprising. Nothing did something similar back in 2024 when it launched the Ear (a) as a cheaper alternative alongside the Ear (3), skipping what many expected to be an “Ear (2a).”

So far, the only confirmed trace of the product comes from an Indonesian regulatory database. The earbuds were listed under model number B190 alongside the CMF Buds Neo. However, the filing does not reveal any specifications, pricing, or a launch window.

According to a report by Dealabs, the Ear (3a) is expected to launch in four colors: white, black, yellow, and pink. Three of these are the same as the Ear (a). Pink is the only new addition.

Price may hold steady at €99 in France

The same source suggests a launch price of €99 in France. That’s the same price the Ear (a) launched at in 2024. The Ear (a) has since dropped to €89, so the Ear (3a) would come in slightly above it at launch.

No technical details or release date have been confirmed. It remains to be seen whether the Ear (3a) will include features missing from the Ear (a), such as wireless charging or improved noise cancellation, both of which are available on Nothing’s higher-end models.
