"They have one of the best bass for open earbuds. ... It shatters shokz on the sound department."


"Sound quality is bassy and extraordinary ... I don't even need to use the advanced custom EQ... ... Really good bass ... Sounds better than my JBL flip 5 which I did not expect..."


"I honestly couldn't tell you they sound worse than the Pixel buds pro ... I only really use them at half volume and it's plenty enough and with a surprising amount of bass and detail on something that isn't in ear"

"The battery life of the Nothing buds themselves is poor compared to the Senns. ... The left earbud charges only up to 85% and will drain down to 15% with just 2 hour use. ... I've already ran out of battery several times for the left bud and had to put them back in the case to recharge each time which is a bummer. ... I've searched online and found this was a common problem with the left earbud."

r/DigitalAudioPlayerAdvice on the best open earphones
5 months ago

Hmmm usually Open Style Earbuds like the Opendots generally Average sound quality due to their open nature, i own the Bose Open earbuds and they are good for what they are but it will never be equivalent to an In-Ear. If you dont mind Earhook versions i will recommend either the Cleer Arc 3 Music or Nothing Ear (Open) both a generally pretty good but albeit a bit largen then the Opendots you have.

They do not fall, at all. They don't even bounce or move! I can do everything and they won't fall! Sometimes I don't even feel them and I have to double check if the sound is not coming from another source lol Sound quality is really good too! (Best in quiet environments) So yes, they are really secure, more than normal earbuds ig

r/SkigearBest earbuds for carv?
about 1 month ago

I'm really happy with my nothing ear opens. Depending on your ear they might hurt under the helmet but for me its perfect. Personally its really important that the ear canal is open because of the elevation changes if the sound will cancel out at some point because the pressure gets too high. The helmet inserts are also sweet heard only good things but its a bit expensive just to use for skiing. Before the nothings i had sony linkbuds open but the nothings are way better.

Bought these because my right ear which was operated on when I was very young never really had a good ear canal for in-ear type earbuds, which made me return the Pixel buds pro The Ear Open is literally a "forget you're wearing it" kind of audio device

My significant other is currently halfway around the world and she questioned why my voice sounded better than usual on a WhatsApp video call, she didn't notice the nothing buds on my ear due to the camera angle (surprisingly)

I honestly couldn't tell you they sound worse than the Pixel buds pro, the major difference in sound is the fact that they're open and not sealed like the Google ones, but even so, I only really use them at half volume and it's plenty enough and with a surprising amount of bass and detail on something that isn't in ear Noise leak on the table playing, yes, but in someone's ear barely audible, you can definitely not make words out or anything like that

I can recommend Nothing brand ear buds. They make in-ear and open-ear versions. I have the open ear ones for walking the dog and staying aware of my surroundings. They work great.

r/EarbudsBest quality earbuds today?
15 days ago

i think you are talking abt sony xm5 buds, they are known to be uncomfortable. anker liberty 5, it is a recent release, very light bud, with good sound. if you dont use anc, you will get a much longer battery life. bose qc 2024, i use it without the fin tips, as they hurt my ear. this has good long battery life even with anc on. above two are medium range price, recent release buds, very good value and all over quality for the money. if you dont need anc at all, nothing ear open, is the best open ear earbud. it is also light and comfortable. fit and comfort are not same for everyone. my friend uses small size eartip in left ear and medium size eartip in right ear. me saying that to note to you that it is not necessary for both ear eartip size to be same.

Not anymore. I had 2 sets of Nothings. The newest ones and the opens. Both sets were disappointing, I gave them away awhile ago.

r/EarbudsEarbuds with Good ANC and Earhooks
10 months ago

Really hard to tackle this question because rock and metal should be listened to with some high quality buds and foam tips to keep a tight seal and get good bass response. I have yet to hear a really good open ear buds for music. They're usually ok with some soft rock or pop, podcasts and reviews are fine. Ive tested 2 of the leading sets in this category, the Soundcore Aerofit 2 and the Nothing Ear Open. Both are very comfortable, decent battery life, not really made for anc when its open without a seal. I've heard really good things about the new Huawei FreeArc open ears and about to order a set to test. You may want to consider these Amazon branded ones called the BX27. They are actually an in ear sealed bud with ear hooks. The sound decent for $25, you can use aftermarket tips with them for a better seal, excellent battery life, decent anc, really cool but big charging case with leds and they come in like 7 colors.

r/trailrunningWhich good RUNNING headphones are worth buying as of today?
5 months ago

Nothing ear (open). Open ear design but much better audio quality than shokz, great battery life and a charging case that extends it. They also charge over usb-c instead of any propriety or older standard. I’ve been running in these since Nothing came out with them and I’ll never go back to Shokz or AirPods or anything else. Love them.
