Nothing ear (1) wireless earbuds release date

London digital brand Nothing has released its first wireless earbuds ‘ear (1)’ featuring a transparent design that allow you to see the internal structure.  The raw beauty of ear (1)’s stripped down aesthetic features transparency to expose the engineering, including microphones, magnets and circuit board.

Everything that is ear (1) is there with purpose – from the instantly recognizable red color signal for ‘Right’ to the case’s playful fisheye dip that helps secure the buds. Each earbud weighs in at just 4.7g.  The set also comes with three customizable liquid silicone tips.

Active noise cancellation on ear (1) uses three high definition mics.  Light mode is for moderate noise cancellation and Maximum mode is for noisier environments like when at the coffee shop or on the airplane.  When you’re ready to let the world back in, activate Transparency mode. For loud and clear calls, Clear Voice Technology was specially-developed for ear (1) to reduce distractive background noise, like wind.

Nothing’s ear (1) has up to 5.7 hours of listening time and up to 34 hours with the case. If you charge the case for 10 minutes, you can use it for up to 8 hours.  The Nothing ear (1) charges wirelessly and compatible with all Qi chargers.  Furthermore, the sweat resistance and water resistance have been improved up to IPX4 grade.

Scheduled to start rolling out in Japan from August 27, 2021 (Friday)
