    It was mentioned that they are "much more affordable" but unless I missed it, there was nothing (ha!) said about their proposed pricing. A quick jump over to the nothing web shop shows a $149.00 US price with a release date of Oct 1, 2024.

    I have been seeing more people (not for exercise) wearing open-style earbuds. I'm glad Nothing made their design similar to Soundcore's Aerofit series; it's a shame they did not follow Soundcore's case design. Other than that I do wonder about a comparison between the Nothing Ear (Open) and the Soundcore Aerofit and Aerofit Pro. The Aerofit Pro, when on sale, goes for around $130 (last time I checked) so it is a compelling offer; especially with the November Black Friday sales coming up.

      Depending on your style of glasses, the temple piece will most likely rest between your head and the hook-shaped part of the earbud. I had no issues wearing or removing my sunglasses while using these earbuds, but if your glasses have thicker temples, you may have to make minor fit adjustments after putting your glasses on. I hope this helps! Happy listening! - Dave

    Purchased a pair of these, based off of this review. The sound quality is very good. Unfortunately, due to the design and possibly the shape of my ears; they are NOT very loud. I listened to them at max volume, and I wish it could have been louder. This was in a very quiet room with almost no ambient noise. I had purchased them for use at my job where the ambient noise level is high. They will be going back to Amazon .

    I just got these for XMAS, and I also own the EAR nothing buds. DO NOT EXPECT the IN YOUR FACE “WOW BOOM” that the buds gives you. I tested the song “No Air” by Jordin Sparks and the open were just LACKLUSTER. However, if I am in a busy city, or walking at airports where I may want to hear announcements or emergency alerts from traffic, the OPEN are a great choice. In a nutshell, for a “WOW” BASS AND SOUND factor, get the in ear nothing 2; for being alert while outside - USE THE OPEN. If your goal is to completely drown out outside noise, DO NOT USE OPEN!

    I've been hearing a lot of buzz about the Nothing Ear (Open), but I’m still torn between these and the Sony LinkBuds. Both have that open-ear design, but which one do you think offers better sound quality for daily use? Also, how’s the comfort on the Nothing Ear (Open) for longer sessions? Would love to hear from those who’ve tried both!

    • @DinodogJr
      @DinodogJr 6 днів тому

      Sony LinkBudz is a tricky open-ear design for specific ears. You may get the fit correct today but may not works so well in another day. If you are doing slow-jog is fine. If you sweat alot, it is going to fall out pretty easily. Plus the charging ports is not reliable. I am having a 2nd set due to free warrranty. The battery issues is rising again. Try to avoid this earphones. Sound quality is great to me but it's not a long-life earphones for outdoor running.

It's easier to be assosiated and compared to Apple becasuse you instantly get rid of other competitors in the minds of many potential buyers when they associate Nothing with Apple. It's because of the color and many other similar aspects that they try to highlight in their branding.
