Nothing Ear (open) Bluetooth Headphones White (White)

Nothing Ear (open)

The Nothing Ear (open) offer an open listening experience that lets you enjoy music, podcasts, and calls without completely losing awareness of your surroundings. Their design leaves the ear canal unobstructed, making them especially suitable for walking, working out, or wearing for extended periods.

Open Design and Comfort

Each earbud weighs just 8.1 grams and uses a three-point support structure to distribute weight more evenly around the ear. The hook features soft-touch silicone and a flexible nickel-titanium wire that helps maintain a secure fit during movement.

The speaker is tilted approximately 50 degrees so it sits over the ear without entering the ear canal. The fit may vary depending on the shape and size of each ear.

Sound

The earbuds feature a 14.2 mm dynamic driver with a stepped structure designed to bring sound closer to the ear. Its titanium-coated PET diaphragm is intended to reduce distortion and improve bass and treble response.

The Bass Enhance algorithm detects low frequencies and adjusts playback, while the app’s advanced eight-band equalizer in Nothing X lets you customize the sound profile.

Sound Privacy and Calls

The Sound Seal System uses directional speakers and acoustic compensation waves to reduce the amount of sound projected outward. This feature minimizes audio leakage, although it does not guarantee complete privacy in quiet environments or at high volume.

For calls, they feature a dual-microphone system with Clear Voice Technology, trained using artificial intelligence to reduce ambient noise and echo picked up by the microphone.

This model does not have active noise cancellation for listening. Its open design is specifically intended to maintain some awareness of the surroundings.

Battery and charging

The earbuds offer up to 8 hours of music playback on a single charge and a combined battery life of up to 30 hours using the case. For calls, the stated battery life is up to 6 hours with the earbuds and up to 24 hours with the case.

Fast charging provides up to 2 hours of playback on the earbuds with 10 minutes of charging. The case charges via USB-C and does not support wireless charging.

Connectivity and controls

The Bluetooth 5.3 connection supports AAC and SBC codecs. It also includes Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and simultaneous connection to two devices.

Squeeze controls let you manage playback, calls, and other configurable functions. The Nothing X app adds an equalizer, control customization, earbud location, low-latency mode, and firmware updates.

Voice integration with ChatGPT requires a compatible Nothing phone, Nothing OS, and the appropriate versions of the Nothing X and ChatGPT apps.

Resistance

Both the earbuds and the case are certified IP54 against dust and water splashes. This protection does not allow submersion and may diminish with normal wear.

Before storing or charging the earbuds, they must be dried completely if they have been exposed to rain or sweat.
