"And I keep my nothing ear buds for best, and hardcore listening."
"I’d honestly say if I listened to 10 songs, maybe 4 of them sound best on the EAZ-AZ100s, 4 on the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and 2 on the Nothings, and the difference between the Nothing Buds having 2 points and 4, is as you said, literally, literally like 5%."
"NEs I really love for the $, especially if you use the bass boost. ... But still, very affordable and good performing buds that pretty much give you what they promise for the price point."

"everything else I actually prefer listening on my Nothing Ear's with their custom sound test EQ. They're just way more fun and enjoyable on most tracks. ... Their custom EQ based on your hearing is just too good and they're way more versatile in my view. ... I think the majority would pick the NE."
"has a built in EQ"
"kinda fun if you like tweaking EQ settings in their app"

"they’re not ideal for workouts. ... Both can help a lot, especially when you’re sweaty. ... if they still slip out, it might be worth switching to something made for movement."

"nothing buds are bland and dull sounding. No bass or trebal either"

"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."
I got mine a few hours ago so I only have been able to do some quick tests with a few songs but sound quality wise the first impressions are really good. Compared with the most similar open earbuds I have (Nothing Ear Stick) I like a bit more the Accentum's sound profile which I feel less fatiguing with more clarity on the highs with just enough bass on the default eq. Volume wise there a very significant difference: I usually drive the Nothing between 50 and 70% but with the Accentum so far I'm comfortable between 30% and 50%. A couple of downsides so far: the closing mechanism of the case feels quite flimsy and weak (definitely not satisfactory as fidget toy), especially the hinge feels cheap. The other downside: neither app (Smart Control nor Smart Control Plus) detects them which I would expect should be fixed soon with an update.
r/sennheiser • Accentum Open Impressions ->I have 2 such pairs: Nothing Ear Stick - very light and comfortable, but not stable enough for exercise. Galaxy Buds Live - comfortable and very stable for any activity. But it's a pretty old model now.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that dont go inside ear canal ->I quite like them actually. Personally have the Ear stick which are discontinued now if I'm not mistaken and they sound pretty good.
r/Earbuds • What do we think about Nothing earbuds? ->Got this for free a week before warranty expired as the nothing ear stick was discontinued. Pretty happy for free upgrade and it's perfect for everyday use.
r/Earbuds • Nothing Ear(a) after 2 Months.. ->My nothing ear open and ear stick both have a low latency mode in the nothing app. I think this is a feature of most nothing and cmf earbuds.
r/GalaxyS24Ultra • What are the best bluetooth earbuds under $100 that are actually supported by the S24U? ->I don't use them for gaming myself only for videos. I've had some other buds that have had audio sync issues with YouTube but my nothing ones have been excellent for audio/video sync. The ear stick I had to always turn on the low latency mode but the the ear opens I have not had to. I would check if the cmf buds have it, maybe check some YouTube reviews, but the cmf buds 2 pro appear to offer great value for money.
r/GalaxyS24Ultra • What are the best bluetooth earbuds under $100 that are actually supported by the S24U? ->The Huawei Freearc also have a low latency mode in the Huawei Android app. Found this today so thought you may be interested.
r/GalaxyS24Ultra • What are the best bluetooth earbuds under $100 that are actually supported by the S24U? ->I've tried many earbuds that just don't fit my ears well, even with expensive comply tips, but I finally settled on the Nothing Ear Stick and its perfect. I'm really happy with them.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->nothing ear stick works great imo
r/Earbuds • Best Microphone Earbud? ->I'm looking for a half in ear earbuds or like the moondrop style that supports fast pair, so I won't need an app to check the battery life. Damn I miss my lost nothing (stick), they're still the best.
r/Earbuds • Best Wireless Half-In-Ear Earbuds? ->I bough Nothing Ear Stick last year and I've been loving them. They look and feel really good. My next ones might be Nothing Ear (open).
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->Check out Nothing Ear Stick if they're still available or the new Nothing Ear Open
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that dont go inside ear canal ->I have the Nothing Ear Stick and they're pretty good.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that dont go inside ear canal ->Me again! 🤣 The only buds that have ever fit my ears good and actually stayed in when active are the OG airpods, the Pixel Buds A Series and the Nothing Ear Sticks. The OG Airpods were the best. Most times I wouldn't even realize they were still in my ears lol.
r/pixelbuds • Buds 2A so disappointing after the original A's being my top buds for years. The new ones don't fit. What instead? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
