Nothing Ear (2) - Wireless Earbuds with ANC (Active Noise Cancelling), Hi-Res audio certified, Dual Connection, Powerful 11.6 mm custom driver - Black

I wasn't going to write this review because why waste time unless you're getting paid right? But these are great OK so surprise number 1: dual connection. Amazing - always paired to my phone, and either the PC or the laptop whatever I'm working on. Surprise number 2: wireless charging! Plonk the case on a pad and it charges! Surprise 3: the 'hearing test'. Initially I was like "ffs give me a break, i just want some earbuds". But honestly after doing the test & applying the EQ is like finally cleaning your glasses, feels like I can hear stuff I couldn't hear before! Surprise 4: they don't fall out! I've had some decent JBL buds that were constantly falling out, and some xiaomi buds that weren't as bad but sounded terrible. These are light and fit perfect (my ears are fussy). Surprise 5: the low lag mode. I work in content creation and always editing stuff to time, bluetooth devices are usually very laggy. In low lag mode it's almost like a cable connection apart from the start of the sound being slightly chopped off (0.1s or something like that) but the quality drop is hard to tell. and 6 - the experience is very polished, almost like an Apple product. I use the Nothing phone 1 so maybe it's that but I dont think it is. The app is responsive, they pair without hassle, it's very quick to check the battery level, pinching works a treat (not too sensitive, not too un-sensitive, just right!), basicall just a smooth and trouble free experience. The sound is great. And battery capacity is literally perfect for me. I get tired of wearing anything in my ears after about 4-5 hours and thats when they need a charge. I'm glad the batteries arent bigger as they're lovely and light. Perfect!

These are the best value earbuds of 2024. Pros - Great fit. This will always be subjective due to your individual ear canal shape, but for me this had outstanding fit and comfort. - The sound is great, with powerful divers and an ability to EQ the sound based on your own hearing (audiogram). This is no doubt something Apple will add as an innovative new feature to the AirPod Pro 3s in 2026. - The controls are easily accessible without the chance of accidental changes thanks to the stem design. - The design, look and feel is very cool. Cons - The ANC is mid for 2024, but honestly it's still very good. - The transparency mode isn't great. - The in-ear detection is very buggy. - The Find My feature is a very basic noise being played through the buds, which doesn't always work. Given the price of these, they are the best value earbuds on the market just now. The AirPod Pro 2s are better, sure, but they're anywhere between £50-100 more expensive, depending on if you can get either on offer or not.

For Bluetooth earphones, these sound incredible! LDHC may be a rarity on many devices, but if you have a hi-res device that can take advantage, it is bliss being able to listen to music with basically no distortion that is so commonplace with wireless audio. Yes, it is true that these have an over pronounced high end, but once you've used them a while, you don't notice it and it provides a nice level of clarity. They also look funky, yada yada yada. Now, though they sound nice (with some tweaking in the app and/or an external equaliser such as wavelet), there are some vital issues worthy of note. The fit is fine, and they've never fallen out, but the have an oval shaped attachment for the tips, not circular. This CAN have a minor effect on the fit in the ear. Or at least, that's what I assume is reducing the natural sound isolation. The noise cancelling is fine, but I do have cheaper buds (Soundcore Life P3) which do a slightly better job. But the two most important things I want to mention are the battery life and connection. The battery life with noise cancelling is shocking. I get an audio warning before I even get to work on my commute. That's less than 80 mins listening time with noise cancelling active. Having it set to high or adaptive makes little difference for me. It SHOULD be better than this. I use noise cancelling for sensitivity reasons. I will not be able to use these on their own for a shopping trip out. The second thing I need to mention is the connection quality. EVERY time I connect them to my phone, I HAVE to access the developer settings on my phone and change the connection quality (for LDHC) to 400kbps. If I don't, the connection wavers and drops it to less than 100kbps, and it sounds AWFUL! They can run higher than 400kbps without issue, if I'm not moving. The changing of distance while the phone is in my pocket causes frequent audio drops that get irritating quite quickly. Despite the issues, I do currently use them daily for my commute, as they sound lovely and it's worth the general quality. But they cannot be a favourite with the current issues in place. 4 stars is generous, but I felt 3 is too low. UPDATE Since a firmware update that was released around June, the battery drain issue has been resolved and the buds now last a lot longer with the settings I had active. Though I cannot give a time, I do get to work now with over 50% battery remaining

Context: I have just returned Galaxy buds 2 pro and Sony wf-MX5 buds, but decided to keep these. Things I wanted: - easy volume control along with ANC voice assistant and track control. Tap controls are to finicky. (These best by far) - okay noise cancelling (Sony best) - auto off when removed (all) - find buds (all) - water resistant (buds2 pro best) - decent case (I like this one best) - good sound (pretty even, but these sound best out of the box) - decent fit (these best in my wonky eared opinion - Sony worst) Others have nice features, but not worth double the price. I also tried buying referbished, but they all had faults and earwax in the buds... urgh... I also like that this is a London company, but I don't like the 1 year warranty. I will re-review in a few months. ****"" 1.5 years in and they are still one of the best purchases I have made. Love them.

My posh earbuds! I use these for traveling and around the house. The sound quality is superb, the app also lets you adjust the sound to your ear for the best performance. They have an amazing noice cancellation setting! So if you’re in a noisy environment you won’t hear a thing going off around you. They charge super fast and the case itself is a charger so you get multiple uses out of them! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great set of earbuds for a great price!

They arrived on my doorstep in a small box—Nothing Buds 2, white and semi-transparent, like they were barely there. But don't let the ghostly looks fool you; these buds pack more punch than a whiskey neat after a rough day. They’re light—lighter than the smoke drifting through a back-alley at dawn—but the sound? That’s as full-bodied as a jazz quartet in a room with no exit. I’ve tangoed with so-called premium buds before, Beats they were called, but those left me frustrated. The mic? Forget it. It was like trying to send an SOS through a foghorn; nobody could hear me. Every call turned into a game of “Can you hear me now?” But the Nothing Buds 2? The mics are sharp—razor sharp. Every word comes through like you’re spilling secrets over a black coffee at a diner, no static, no guesswork. It’s the kind of clarity you don’t forget. Now, about that pinch feature to control playback. It’s supposed to be simple—just a squeeze to skip, pause, play. But sometimes it’s like trying to light a cigarette in the rain—fiddly, unpredictable. One minute it’s smooth, the next, you’re fumbling. You’ll get the hang of it, but it’s not the slickest move in the book. Still, I’d take these over any other pair in a heartbeat. They’re light as air, sound heavy as sin, and for once, people actually hear what I’m saying. The best wireless earbuds I’ve ever owned, hands down.

I have them just for fev days then that will base on my short experience. I use tidal for music and Spotify for podcasts and quality is great find bass better like my iPods pro as well they fit and stay in ear like crazy that's absolutely spot because I use them for work and move a lot . Calls decent and so far my favourite, match with nothing phone beautiful. Just one thing maybe my hear is bad or not I use volume on maximum mostly or almost... Battery hold like for 3 hours + then I need charge , charging is fast and I think I will be recharge multi times that's in total can maybe make 30 hours to drain complete? I was going to buy Sony because I got good experience but .... Price difference between as well is not possible to check how they fit no one let u what's s. Then I got choice new one matching with phone or use one unknown fit , I'm happy with them wish have like my nura silence from world 🌍 maybe one day .... Overall happy with .

The case feels fragile. I don't think it would withstand a drop onto a hard surface. After a couple of months the battery life is awful. Maybe a 2 hours at most with no noise cancellation or transparency active. Sounds quality is good. I'm no audiophile - but can say it's good for music and audio books, zero complaints. Easy to synch up. They are very comfortable. Feel very secure in the ear. The battery life is the killer for me, its a joke compared to the Samsung pro 2's I've had for nearly 2 years - they go for hours of continual use. Wouldn't recommend.

Super son, look magnifique, paramètrages via l application x nothing facile et utile.👍

I've only had them for 2-3 weeks but I'm super satisfied so far: Great sound and excellent controls via the app, super slick design that sit very easy and comfortably in my ears, and they aren't as sensitive as my former earbuds when it comes to touching (just having my hood up would change tracks with my former ones which just drove me crazy - none of that with these). I'd say get 'em!

Ich habe die Nothing Ear (2) nun seit einigen Wochen im Einsatz und bin absolut begeistert. Hier ist meine Erfahrung: Design: Das transparente Design ist nach wie vor ein absoluter Hingucker. Die Kopfhörer und das Ladecase wirken sehr hochwertig und futuristisch. Klangqualität: Der Sound ist kristallklar und deutlich besser als beim Vorgänger. Dank der Unterstützung von Hi-Res Audio und LHDC 5.0 hört man Details, die man vorher nicht wahrgenommen hat. Noise Cancelling (ANC): Das aktive Noise Cancelling arbeitet sehr effektiv. Es filtert Umgebungsgeräusche zuverlässig heraus, und die personalisierte ANC-Funktion passt sich perfekt an meine Gehörgänge an. Features: Besonders praktisch ist die Dual-Connection (Multipoint), mit der ich gleichzeitig mit meinem Laptop und Smartphone verbunden sein kann. Der Wechsel klappt nahtlos. Fazit: Stilvoll, funktional und klangstark. Nothing hat hier an den richtigen Stellen nachgebessert.

Cuffie dal design particolare e, per il mio gusto, molto gradevoli. Nothing ha cercato di rinnovare il design degli auricolari portandone uno tutto suo e particolare a partire dalla confezione. La custodia è a strappo e all'interno troviamo un cilindrino in cartone con il cavo di ricarica usbc-usbc in tessuto con forma customizzata. Parlando delle cuffie sono ottime. La custodia di ricarica è cilindrica e trasparente con un particolare sitema di apertura e chiusura molto efficace. Essendo la custodia di forma cilindrica, le cuffie sono un po' scomode da portare in tasca ma uno ci fa l'abitudine. Inoltre essendo trasparente bisogna fare un po' di attenzione affinché la custodia non si rovini. Parlando degli auricolari in sé per sé sono earbuds quindi senza gommino. Per la mia personale esperienza d'uso sono comodissimi. Sono sempre stato abituato a cuffie in-ear (con il gommino) e durante la fase di acquisto ero incerto della mia scelta. Una volta provate mi sono dovuto ricredere. Gli auricolari per le mie orecchie sono comodissimi, infatti a detta di Nothing c'è stato un grande studio per creare la forma perfetta che si adatti a tutte le orecchie. Gli auricolari suonano molto bene e la connessione è istantanea, chiaramente sono anch'essi di design con la particolare trasparenza, marchio di fabbrica di Nothing. Il volume degli auricolari è alto ed è buona la qualità del suono, la connessione è anche molto stabile. Le cuffie una volta inserite correttamente nell'orecchio, per la mia esperienza, è difficile che si sfilino. La durata della battera è buona. Inoltre è possibile scaricare l'app Nothing X sul proprio telefono per controllare tutti i parametri delle cuffie come battera degli auricolari e della custodia di ricarica; ma è anche possibile modificare l'equalizzatore per modificare il sound delle cuffie tramite dei settaggi preimpostati oppure creandone uno personalizzato.

L'un de mes meilleurs achats. J'écoute énormément de musique au quotidien, et j'avais pas envie de mettre je ne sais combien dans les écouteurs de la marque à la pomme. Les Nothing Ears 2 sont d'excellents rivaux. La qualité est très très bonne, la réduction de bruit fonctionne à merveille, et l'appli pour régler la paire d'écouteur est intuitive. Et en plus ce design original, c'est la classe. Après deux ans d’usage quotidien, ils fonctionnent toujours comme au premier jour, malgré l’eau, le sable et quelques chutes sur du bitume. L’autonomie reste largement suffisante et stable dans le temps.
