  • Reviewing the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a), two fresh 2024 pairs of budget true wireless earbuds costing just £129 and £99 respectively. Boasting ANC, triple mics and upgraded battery life, the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) are among the best TWS for a price under £150. But which is my favourite?
    Well, for just £30 more, you get a water-resistant, wireless charging case, improved codec support and audio personalisation. It's the last feature that makes me highly recommend the Nothing Ear over that more budget A model of buds. With that enabled, the sound was richer and more detailed and a lot more enjoyable.
    You've got effective active noise cancellation, with an adaptive option if you fancy it. Battery life was one of the weaknesses of the old Nothing Ear 2, but that's also been improved here for both models. In fact, the Nothing Ear A can survive for even longer than the regular True Wireless Earbuds.
    So that's the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) in a nutshell! Let us know your thoughts on these 2024 TWS below.

    Call me old fashion, but £129, and £99 are far from what I'd call 'super-budget' earphones. Not unless the word budget comes with a long list of warnings, like an advert for pain medication.

      1 selling point for me is the optimised bass on the Ear (3). there is big limitation on ear 2 regarding clean bass

It's interesting how real audiophiles go for galaxy buds or nothing ear, though most reviewers say the xm5's are best (which they defo aren't imo)
