    My Nothings Stems came apart here in hot SE Texas. I thought they sounded great until I bought the Earfun Air Pro 3's!
    Earfun's just connects to my S24 Ultra & Tab S7+ so fast, they last hours longer, the sound is so much clearer & punchier than my Nothings.
    To get the same sound as my Nothings, I set the Nothing's to 85% volume where my Earfun's are at 60% that just blocks all sounds out, so no need for ANC & they last hours longer than my Nothings.
    All of this for on sale at $55. Hard to beat.

I manage to make the battery last through the whole day, and sometimes multiple days (granted I almost never use both eatbuds at the same time).
      My gf has the Ear (Stick) and she's had way more problems with those like the earbuds not disconnecting even thou they are in the case.
      All this to say, I think after the Ear 2 they've gotten better at making earbuds, so I would trust these new ones are of similar quality.

    I don't believe that you mentioned the fact that the Ear (a)'s don't have access to the advanced EQ. Thats the big separating factor between both devices.
    Also, at least with the Ear, any EQ setting you make in the app gets saved to the hardware itself, so any device you connect the earbuds to will have that same EQ applied.
    Those two things are massive imo.
