I testes the first nothing ear buds ans honestly i cant say i liked them too much, u endes up returning because one of them failed so soon and I didnt get them again
Nothing ear 1, 4 years later, still sounds great
The entire wireless vs wired thing is completely pointless. Good sound is good sound, period. Also, you are definitely a basshead, or at the very least a fan of very dark tuning. There are some treble peaks on the Chu 2 and the EDX Pro but both of these have a good amount of bass to them, they are V-Shaped. I can understand not liking the amount of treble they have on them but saying there's "no depth to the sound" while loving the Nothing Ear 1, which has a huge dip in the 1k to 3k region and a peak at 5k seems baffling to me. How the hell do you define depth? And how in Crin's name do you claim to love a balanced sound when the Nothing Ear is one of the more aggressive V-Shaped TWS' to ever hit the market? Warm tuning is pretty common so I think you just bought the wrong product. Twice. If you want bass boosted neutral tuned set you don't go with a V-Shaped one. Twice.

"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
The nothing (A) the ones in the picture are nothing but an average pair of buds. You want the nothing buds in the square case
True, 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.
Nothing ear(a) and its great!
I’ve owned the nothing ear (1) and the nothing ear (2023). The ear(1) started falling apart after about two years; I suspect this was due to overheating, when wireless charging, causing the adhesive to melt. The 2023 model no longer holds a charge for more than about an hour. Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll ever buy a nothing product again which is very disappointing because I think they provide an incredible amount of features for their price while being in a stylish form factor. I just can’t justify buying new earbuds that often. Anyways, I’m looking for a “stemmed” design akin to the nothing earbuds/airpods, ANC/transparency mode, touch controls, and wireless charging. Looking for something similar in price point to nothing ear but willing to spend a bit more for something that will last. I’ve done some research but there’s an overwhelming amount of options and most tech review articles only use the product for a limited time which makes me skeptical about long term reliability. Would appreciate any recommendations!
