Ear (a)

I like the nothing ear (a) they’re better than AirPods in my opinion, only $100 so I’m not too worried about if I damage them or lose them. Noise canceling is good enough for me.

If I have the Nothing Ear (a) and I love it, worth getting Nothing Ear 2024 or should I consider Denon or Technics

I love my Nothing Ear(a) too.

Sony WF-1000XM5 are some of the best out there. I would also recommend the nothing ear 2 or the more budget nothing ear(a) which I personally use and they probably have the best audio quality in that price range. Tho I have absolutely no idea why you would spend 500$ for earbuds and if earbuds priced at that range exist, but all of these are 300$ or and below(ear 2 are 150$ and ear a should be about 90$).

Yeah, the ear(a) sound really good, no complaints about the quality but the ANC is not so good in my opinion, and if I recall correctly the ear 2 are much better in the ANC dep. But the ANC on the Sony buds are by far one of, if not the best out there, the quality should also be comparable or better.

If you can splurge out a little more $$, go for the Nothing Ear (2024). Sounds amazing, infinite customization with EQ, ANC is pretty decent tbh only struggles in some harsh edge cases (like most sub-200 USD earbuds). But between the two, I'd lean towards the Nothing Ear (a). It sounds really really good even though some people say ANC is only passable.

Big fan of the Nothing Ear (a)

Second this. Have these and have no issues and love the quality.

I would advise against Nothing's offerings. Nothing (ear) that I have I got them replaced once. The Battery doesn't last more than 2 hours after a while.
