- Effective noise cancellation
- Comfortable fit
- Unique case doubles as phone stand
Cons
- Oval ear tips may not stay in ear during movement
- Replacement ear tips may not fit due to oval shape
Nothing Ear (3)
The Nothing Ear (3) earbuds receive overwhelmingly positive feedback for their impressive sound quality, effective 45dB active noise cancellation, and stylish transparent design. Users highlight the comfortable fit, solid battery life, and convenient features like dual connect and pinch controls. However, a few concerns include microphone failure after a few months for one user, and another notes that while good, the earbuds don't quite live up to the hype from YouTube reviews, with mid-level noise cancellation. Overall, they are seen as excellent value, especially when purchased at a discount.
Pros
- Excellent sound quality with deep bass
- Effective 45dB active noise cancellation
- Stylish transparent design
- Comfortable and secure fit
- Solid battery life
Cons
- Microphone failure after a few months
- Noise cancellation is only mid-level
- Battery life with ANC around 5.5 hours
- Does not fully live up to YouTube hype
- Case larger than AirPods Pro
