"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."

The bass on the Oneplus side is Awesome 👍 👍 You Can't Achive that Tighter and Depp bass on this both Realme buds werher you use External or Internal Equalizer doesn't matter ... I really liked this Oneplus Sound"

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"Besame Mucho/Love in Portofino by Andrea Bocelli sounds so satisfying and rich on the Luna—considering the price. ... Highly produced music like Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra or Disease don’t sound convoluted or congested either; the bass sounds rich and the highs are very crisp. Vocals sound full and it’s just a joy to use the Luna with every genre. ... It’s a very well-rounded unit but I think it definitely shines the most when listening to Bossa Nova, Jazz, Ballads, etc ... It still does a great job when it comes to POP and EDM."
"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..."

"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."

"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."

"the latency is incredibly bad. ... About 350-450ms based on my own measurement"
"the latency is too high for me."
"current latency (ms) 679.2"
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.
r/DigitalAudioPlayer • Advice on the best open earphones ->Unrelated but that's one of the reasons i bought the ear open
r/NothingTech • LOVE the Nothing Ear but they don't stay during workouts. Suggested eartips? ->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/NothingTech • LOVE the Nothing Ear but they don't stay during workouts. Suggested eartips? ->Yeah they're the best!!! I'm using them right now!
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->Sound quality is bassy and extraordinary, I don't even need to use the advanced custom EQ... Really good bass, No noise leak. Sounds better than my JBL flip 5 which I did not expect...
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->I have the nothing buds i enjoy them comfort is 10/10 sound 10/10 they don’t fall out when working out. The only caveat I have is that they randomly pause not too sure why sometimes it happens once ever 45 seconds sometimes it doesn’t happen at all I noticed someone in the reviews saying the same thing but I also have a kind of old phone so.
r/Earbuds • Please suggest me the best Earbuds in this price range ->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
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->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)
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->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
r/NothingTech • Ear (Open) are so much better than the Pixel Buds Pro in ergonomics ->Nothing ear are awesome. Currently on sale for 99. Well worth it.
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds ~100 USD ->Nothing’s ear pods are fantastic.
r/AppleFitnessPlus • Best Earbuds for Running? Need Ones That Stay Put ->Same, they work great
r/SteamDeck • What headphones you pair your Steam Deck with? ->These are 3 buds I have actually (outside of my Jaybirds that I use for heavy workouts, or long runs), and honestly the AZ100s after dialing them in offer the best overall soundstage and bass imho, and I’m a bass head too. Crazy $ though. I have some Senn HD600s that I love for playing along to music on the drums, and practicing, and thought I’d like the M4s a lot, and while I don’t dislike them, they don’t quite deliver compared the Technics. I do tend to use them more though because of fitment, as they just take to my ear canals a bit better than the Technics. NEs I really love for the $, especially if you use the bass boost. If that’s your budget, I’d honestly give them a shot, although as others have said, their ANC isn’t spectacular. But still, very affordable and good performing buds that pretty much give you what they promise for the price point. Honestly my biggest issue with this style bud is the control on the arm. More often than I’d like, it disrupts the fit slightly when I reach up to adjust anything with my sausage fingers. But that’s probably just me.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds for a basshead. ->Even years later the Nothing buds doesn't fail to impress me by their design.
r/Earbuds • What do we think about Nothing earbuds? ->Honestly, if I were you, I’d lean toward the Sony WF-1000XM5. They’re awesome if comfort and sound quality are your top priorities. Sony finally made them smaller and way better at blocking out noise—total game-changer if you’re commuting or stuck in loud places. And yeah, pairing them with Android? Super smooth, no weird hiccups. The Nothing Ear buds are another bargain option—kinda fun if you like tweaking EQ settings in their app, though they’re not quite as punchy as the Sonys. Still, if you’re the type who just wants to hit "play" and get lost in the music without overthinking it? Sony’s your MVP here. No contest.
