"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"If you care about call quality and noise cancelling during calls then Huawei is the the way and only way to go ... Best overall for calls ... nothing comes close to the Huawei free clips in terms of call quality! ... mic quality for calls is mileeeees ahead on the Huawei."
"I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. ... I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing"
"I can definitely tell that the mics have improved. The mics in general are more targeted. You can now have ambient sound amp voices in front of you. And I find that Bixby catches what I say better. ... Good. They really shined in times sqaure"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"I think I can confidently say that these will fit anyone and everyone's taste in music, but ONLY because it's soundcore and their app let's you choose EQ settings that would fit your taste. ... Literally each one of the genres I listed sound amazing and most importantly IMMERSIVE when paired with the right EQ ... I was listening to The Red Clay Strays and was not quite satisfied with the way their music sounded so I tried the "Piano" EQ setting, and holy fuck it's like the mids that i was talking about broke out of their cage and colors started flying. The best way I could describe it is that the vocals and instrumentals became more detailed and colorful as opposed to just being a dull and flat board hitting you in the ears. ... For any and I feel like all kinds of audio, you can get what you want with the right EQ setting (preset or custom, whichever you like), even binaural beats which are these pretentious yoga droning noises that i listen to when i can't sleep, they end up being a spiritual experience. ... there's the EQ customization, allowing you to tailor the earbuds' sound quality to a specific genre or taste. there's a ton of different presets for those who have no idea how to manually do it (me), and there's that custom EQ for the sound engineers"

I feel like the R50i NC (or maybe soundcore in general, idk) has an incredibly versatile range when it comes to sound quality, if you don't like bass too much, there's an EQ for that, or if you want your brain rattling for every beat, there's an EQ for that too.

"They have a cool PC app with a lot of features on it. ... There's a Sonos feature that opens it up to a lot of customization. Game volume, Discord volume, Mic volume, and operating volume can all be customized."

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."
"they are not noise canceling"

"I am lmfao when u said that the nothing transparency is trash. ... That what makes me not want to use them sometimes. ... It really is hot garbage lol."
"Their transparency is horrible, with lots of white noise and a weird muffled feel, earning a low 4/10."
"The transparency is trash though."

"I need larger 3rd-party tips than provided, to get a good seal/proper bass. But the charging case does not accommodate the ones I prefer. ... I used some others that barely fit if I smoosh it shut, but this isn great; presumably over time this may damage the tips and/or the case. ... But like I said you will have to smoosh the cover closed. ... Wanted to use the SpinFit XL s I use on my Sonys, but they just would not fit in the case at all."
"I have the same complaint about tips (I need large ones) and the case. ... I've got the largest 3rd party tips that I can kinda squish the case closed on but that's not ideal, because eventually it will ruin either the case and/or the tips ... TBH I'd actually like tips that are slightly even larger than these, and so I don't reach for these as often as my Sonys (which accommodate the XL silicone tips I like)."
"I wish their case cutout was a little bigger because I'd prefer to have a little bit more of a canal fit but can't fit larger tips and close the case. ... Wish more mfg's would be less obtuse and realize many use 3rd party tips, and the case cutout shouldn't be the limiting factor to the tips you can actually use."

"my first call was very noisy. The other person said they could hear every noise that I made."
"Ya nothings mic is bad, even worse than a sub 1k tws with just solo mics. ... On the nothing ear, even if I am walking the mic captures very low audio."
"Before with the AirPods pro 2 and the nothing ear 2024, tho’ the mics on the buds are pretty good and do a every good job in a busy environment but the trade off is that I’d have to speak loudly"

"when the battery is under 15%, the watch directly turns off"
"Venu2, about 3 days"
"Only downside is battery life is not fantastic - maybe 2+ hours at a go"
The nothing ear has absolutely terrible ANC. As a bonus, it amplifies high frequencies such as cutlery and keys clattering, and for some reasons also amplifies cars passing by. All of this in high mode. On a busy street, you're probably better off turning of ANC and just relying in the passive isolation. Transparency mode is also worse than talking with them on with ANC off. Also of it's windy where you live you might as well turn ANC off as it has zero wind detection. Everything else from app to controls iäand sound quality is excellent though. Weirdest past is, cmf buds pro 2/plus both have vastly improved ANC.
r/galaxybuds • Nothing ear (2024) vs Galaxy Buds 3 pro ->This^ I just went down this rabbit hole and everyone's opinions online varied wildly from my own in person experiences. I ended up keeping Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (pixel phone). I tried Pixel Buds Pro 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and Nothing Pro (2024).
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds? ->I got the Nothing ear (2024). Probably the best I've ever owned
r/Earbuds • High quality sounding earbuds for around $100? ->I've tested the Nothing ear and I wasn't this impressed with the sound like you were. I have the AZ100s and honestly, it is the best sounding earbuds I've ever had. I prefer to listen to music on the Technics over my Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, especially pumping LDAC to max Bitrate listening to HiFi sound on Qobuz. I change the EQ on Technics app depending on the type of music and I really enjoy it, and I love the voice clarity for calls on noisy environments, top notch.
r/Earbuds • Samsung buds 3 pro vs Nothing ear 2024 vs Technics az100 ->Buds 2 Pro and Nothing Ear (a) 2024. I use Buds for regular listening and when I want to make use of the anc and ambient features. Nothing Ear is when I'm in the gym (Buds 2 Pro get slippery as hell with sweat) and when I want to listen to bass heavy music. Buds 2 Pro lasts me like 3-4 hours max in ambient mode on single charge plus weirdly the left earbuds drain faster for some reason, while Nothing Ear lasts easily around 5 hours.
r/S24Ultra • What wireless earbuds are you guys using? ->I just got the nothing ear, they sound good after EQ, they are also on the cheaper end like 120
r/Earbuds • Looking for the best earbuds under 250$ - and overwhelmed by options ->Maybe try the Nothing Ear 2024. They really suprised me at their price point, Amazon $115. Comfortable, good ANC, good call quality, decent sound.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds with decent mic for small ears ->I came here to recommend nothing eat too, it’s way too good for its price point
r/Kuwait • Looking for the Best Wireless Earbuds ->Which is more important to you? The sound quality or the ANC? The reality is the best TWS earbuds for one aren't the best fit the other. And there are often clear tradeoffs. For example, the B&O EX had superb audio quality. But the Nothing Ear get really close while being lighter, having a better app, and being superior in most other ways for considerably less money. Just be aware of the compromises you're going to make when selecting the best sounding TWS earbuds.
r/Earbuds • Top 3 Earbuds Money can Buy? ->I've gotten some compliments on the Nothing Ear (2024) that i just picked up. I use them for all of my teams calls.
r/Earbuds • Are any earbuds really great at both sound quality AND ANC/call quality? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
