bgthigfist 1.0I got a pair of TOZO and they lasted two months before they wouldn't accept a charge. I've had good luck with Anker wireless earbuds. I also have a pair of Nothing Ear 1's that sound amazing but I save those for just good music. The ankers are for podcast and everything. I usually get a couple to three years out of a pair before the battery wears out
Diamond_hhands 1.0Yup had the Mk1 impressed me enough to buy the Mk2 like them a lot good for airline travel no complaints
dquilon 1.0"Better experience" is debatable Obviously depends on what you value, but being able to plug 3.5mm jack and USB C audio is great. The analog buttons are the very best and that for me is the better experience. I have small earbuds which do their job for sports, and portability, but for everything else the NH(1) is my defacto choice
dynorodfeelings 1.0The nothing (A) the ones in the picture are nothing but an average pair of buds. You want the nothing buds in the square case
I use the soundpeats capsule 3 pro for work. OnePlus buds 3 for gaming and general use. And I keep my nothing ear buds for best, and hardcore listening.
ELEGANTFOXYT 1.0True, its like compared to what others are selling these are performing far better than their competition. Before this i was using nothing ear1, apple airpods pro, samsung buds. Nothing and samsung gave out with just one dip in sink while washing face and apple battery replacement its not worth it. This has exceeded any abuse my razer mouse, audio technica headphones, sony wireless headphones has gone through and still going strong. Maybe not for life but built like one.
goat_boy_handsome 1.0Nothing ear(a) and its great!
Lamtix 1.0The APP are the best for iPhone when it comes to integration (ease of use and connectivity) but the only category it beats other premium TWS in is transparency. I think you meant to put Beats Studio Buds + (the ones with transparent case) which I tried and returned because there was something up with the audio. Mic quality might be an issue for those but is good on my Beats Fit Pro which is my daily driver. I've tried plenty of TWS and my top recommendation that isn't APP is the Nothing Ear. They are the only pair that sound really good and isn't lacking severely in other areas. For the majority of people, audio codecs will not make a difference and do not work with iPhone anyway
Maleficent_Repair359 1.0Hello guys, I’ve been using the Nothing Ear (1) for the past 2.5 years and got them for 7000 back then and they served me really well. The ANC was solid for the price, and overall they were totally worth it. But now they’ve started giving up on me ; so I’m looking for a replacement. I’ve been doing some research and keep coming across stuff like Bose QC Ultra, Sony WF-1000XM5, Jabra Elite 8 etc… but those are way out of my budget. I can’t really spend 15-20k on earbuds. So I’m looking for something similar to the Ear (1), ideally under or around 7000, with decent active noise cancellation and good sound quality. I'm okay with any brand as long as they deliver good value. Would really appreciate some honest suggestions . What are you all using in this price range? Thanks in advance.
Mental-Huckleberry54 1.0I use iPhone too and I have been using Nothing Ear 1,2 and am currently waiting on my preorder of Ear 3. I have used AirPods and they are great but I really like what I have been getting from Nothing for a little less$$
minglewoodman-108 1.0IMHO, nobody dies noise cancellation better than Bose and that is especially apparent on airplanes. I have Apple Pro 2s and Nothing, I a frequently have to look on the app to see if ANC is on. No question about that with Bose
