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.

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.

No sé pero en mi caso es necesario buscar el acomodo perfecto con unas almohadillas exactas para que se ajusten perfectamente a tu oído, eso hace mucha la diferencia He visto igualmente que critican mucho a Kz por su excesivo sonido chillón y la verdad yo por eso nunca compré ni compraré Kz Y digo, estás comparando unos audífonos caros inalámbricos vs unos baratos alambricos. Es cierto que hay mucha calidad precio en los iems pero a mí parecer Nothing hace excelentes productos por poco precio, entonces supongo que simplemente tenías la perspectiva tan alta que te desilucionó, aunado a la firma de sonido que capaz no te gustó

Maybe try the Nothing Ear 2024. They really suprised me at their price point, Amazon $115. Comfortable, good ANC, good call quality, decent sound.

I’ve had my nothing ear 2024 model now for 11 months, they are brilliant. Bought them on a sale for 169 AUD at the time, and I’ve had no issues with the charge, they definitely are the best looking in ear headphones in my opinion and the see through case is a lovely finish. Very comfortable also and the sound quality for the price is amazing. As soon as you do your ear test in the nothing ear app the sound is amazing very loud punchy and clear. For the price I don’t think there’s any better in ear headphones out there! I had the Senheiser true momentum 3 bought them for nearly double the price and the nothing ear phones definitely compete. I would have to disagree and recommend.

I'm juggling a few at the moment. I use the Technics AZ100's for gaming on my PC. I use the Apple AirPods Pro 3's for traveling. And for working out, I use the Nothing Ear (2024). Sound quality is best on the AZ100's. ANC is best on the AirPods Pro 3's. The Nothing Ear (2024) is probably the best fitting earbuds I've ever used aside from the Audio Technica ATH-TWX9's.
