Great Bluetooth earphones! If you are looking for comfortable fit, great sound quality, and good mic for calls this is the pair for you.I have had my eyes on these earphones for a while and bought them when they were one sale. Totally worth it!The quality of these are great. They sound great right out of the box, hardly had to mess with any of the EQ settings in the app. So it was surprising just how well everything sounded once I started using them.More Thoughts:I'm not a professional audio reviewer or hardcore audiophile, so this is just coming from an high quality audio enjoyer. I will also have some comparisons to the Jabra Elite 7 Pros that I've used.Sound Quality:I really love the sound of the Nothing Earphones, music sounds bass-y and punchy, if you listen to rock or music with a deeper or more intense sound, these handle that great. I listen to a lot of different genres and all of them sound really clear and balanced without touching the EQ settings. I haven't messed with them a lot myself but you have a couple presets and the ability to set your own. Personally I haven't felt the need to since the sound is so high quality and clear to start with. If you like to listen to your music loud they handle them easily without making your ears or head hurt. Definitely my favorite sounding pair of earphones I have experienced.Mic quality:I used a pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pros for over 2 years as my daily earphones for music and videos that were priced at $140 USD when I first purchased them that were great but after two years they needed an upgrade. A complaint I always had with the Jabras was the mic quality for calls, my voice was always too low or muffled, but with the Nothing earphones my voice is so much clearer and I have even had people comment how loud I sound using them! So they are great for calls. On the receiving end voice you are are really clear with hardly any background noise coming through.ANC (Active Noise Canceling):The ANC on the Nothing Earphones are fantastic. In the app there are a few different options: low, medium, high, and adaptive. The default is high, and it makes it feel like you are in your own world. Once you are playing music or a video almost all the outside noise disappears. I work in an office at a marine so sometimes voices or heavy machinery comes through but at such a low volume you hardly register it. Though I might have to give the edge to my Jabras with just how much more consistent the ANC is on them especially when you have a good fit. Great ANC but not best out there.Transparency:The transparency mode is not as good as the Jabra, I find that any music you may be playing can drown out any noise or voices you want to come through. It, in my opinion, doesn't let enough sounds through when you are at medium volume or louder especially if you find yourself talking a lot with them in. So if what you are playing isn't too loud its fine.Controls/Buttons:The buttons on the stems of the earphones function off of pinches, it is not your typical press or touch buttons. It takes a bit to get used to especially if you are used to a tactile press button like on Jabra products. But the accuracy of the pinches/controls is great. I haven't had it do something I didn't intended. Also the range of custom options for the buttons is great with you being able to change them to whatever scheme you want. The only thing you can't change is the Play/pause button. But I was happy to be able to change the buttons functions to what I needed them to be, which a bit more than I could say for the Jabras.Fit:The ear tips that the Nothing earphones come with are very comfortable and fit really nicely. I typically use the smallest tips that an earphone comes with, anything bigger usually falls out or pushes itself out of my ear, but the medium size that comes on them fit surprisingly great for me. I did switch to the smaller ones for comfort but I can't complain about the larger size. You get three sizes with these earphones: small, medium, and large. The material feels really nice in the ear as well. And the overall shape of the earphones feels great in the ear, just sits comfortable inside, sometimes I can forget they are even there, and the stems are no bother.Battery/Charging:The case and the earphones charge really fast and the indicator light on the case is nice way to tell the charge level. They come with a very short usb-c to usb-c cable that charges the case so quickly, especially with the right adapter. Charge much faster than the Jabra case and earphones. The battery life on the Nothing earphones is pretty great for 8 hour work days. And the case charge lasts me an entire week or more. If you are using the ANC or Transparency modes it does tank the life quite a bit, as with most earphones. The most I have had them last while using ANC on High nonstop is about 5 hours, which to me is pretty good. And once you put them in the case to charge you can definitely get an entire day out of them using ANC. Without ANC you can go through most of a day, maybe 10-12 hours or more of use. My jabras perform quite identically but the charge on them doesn't last as long after in the case for 10 minutes.Conclusion:There are probably things I've missed or things other people notice, but to the average person these earphones come at a great price and provide you with insanely great quality across the board. The mic alone makes this a worth while purchase. But the sound is smooth, crispy, and clear when you need it to be. My favorite set of earphones I've bought myself so far. They are definitely my go to daily drivers.

These are the best cheap earbuds from Nothing that are not from CMF. These Earbuds are light in weight, including there actually pretty small. On a call, using mic on these are clear including wind-proof technology, it helps to effectively remove wind noises from a call. The connection for Bluetooth is really strong and you can also change to AAC or LDAC for high quality audio, and good Functionality. The sound quality is very bassy good! When you toggle Bass Enhancement, it makes it more bassy and handles lower frequencys better, and there's 5 levels, it's on by default. You can costum your own EQ, but it doesn't support Advance EQ. The charging is super fast but it doesn't support wireless charging which is a bummer for some people. The noise cancellation is good but doesn't really compete with other companies like Bose or Sony, it come's with different levels of strength for noise cancellation, if you turn on Adaptive Noise Cancellation it will listen and study the noise around you, if you in a quiet environment but there is some light noise like the AC, it will automatically adjust to Low, a little bit louder will be Mid, and then stuff like sirens or honking somewhere busy and loud it will automatically crank it up to the highest strength of noise cancellation. Now lastly durability, I gotten these Earbuds yesterday and I dropped it on my tile floor 2 times by, openings and unboxing wrong, accidentally pushing it off my couch and no damage. The box is pretty confusing, I recommend by opening and unboxing it on the table, and don't open it backwards to event it from dropping. Overall if you want a little bit stronger noise cancellation, a little more bass, and wireless charging as well, go with the Nothing Ear or the Nothing Ear (2) if you want those extra features (There are more features on the Nothing Ear 1, Nothing Ear 2 that I didn't discuss about)

Excellent audio, an excellent app, and Android widget that lets you change transparency to noise canceling with one push, real-time bass boost, ergonomics are great, they have never fallen out of my ears and are a perfect fit and the stem helps hold them in place. The controls of having one button on each side and being customizable and operation are very ergonomic. My only negative experience is asking customer service for an extra yellow pair of the ear pieces, which they seem to want 30 bucks for. That's a little insane, so while the product probably won't need customer service, if you lose the yellow pieces you're going to have to find another brand to replace them with or get ripped off. It's a 10-cent part and that kind of pissed me off.

Excellent value for an aesthetically designed ANC earbud. The only gripe I have is the nerfed software (equalizer is limited for this model whereas the higher end models get access to more controls).Sound quality is decent but bass-heavy. The touch and squeeze controls are very intuitive and easy to use. Automatic connection once paired over bluetooth is reliable.
