NOTHING EAR 1 - IT'S SOMETHING ;)

Earphones have become one of the most essential pieces of tech in everyone's life. Whether you are gaming, watching movies, listening to music, and even while attending online classes, you probably need a pair of earphones.

When you think of earphones, the first image that might appear in your mind is a pair of earphones with a glossy white finish and a typical charging case. Only a few companies tried to make earphones look unique, but none of them nailed it. But "NOTHING" did!

NOTHING is a London-based consumer technology company that is on a mission to remove barriers between people and tech that we all use by designing intuitive tech gadgets to bring back artistry, passion, and trust.

Carl Pei, one of the founders of OnePlus, decided to leave the company and create a new tech company called "NOTHING".

NOTHING released their first earphone called the "EAR 1"... The transparent earphones!

There's been so much talk and hype about this product... Every Tech Youtuber released their videos about the EAR 1 almost at the same time!!!

Is it really a revolutionary product? Is it better than Apple's AirPods? Let's find out.

As mentioned earlier, this is NOTHING's first product, and to make a good impression, they are selling it for a fantastic price, provided:

Its splash and sweat-resistant
Auto-pause when you take them off your ears
Wireless charging
Bluetooth 5.2 for instant pairing
34 hours battery life (with case)
An interesting feature that enables you to find your earphones by making them produce a high-pitched sound if you lose it.
These earphones come with an external microphone that receives an external sound wave and releases the exact opposite of that sound wave to cancel out the ambient noises, and also, they do not leak sound to the surroundings.

You also get the transparency mode features that amplify the external sound to hear ambient noises better.
These came with an 11.6mm driver, which is larger than the AirPods. These produce more prominent compressions of the air particles resulting in a clear and rich sound.

It packs all these features in a 4.7g feather-lite body!

I personally like the design of the Ear 1. It's compact and looks futuristic with its transparent design. It is not easy to align all the internals to look beautiful, ensuring that it works well.

This is how AirPods look without the outer layer.

This is the NOTHING EAR 1 :)

If we look at the spec sheet, then the EAR 1 is better than Apple's AirPods. But these are not revolutionary. Yes, these offer a unique design that some can love, and some can hate; apart from that, these are fundamentally the same as the existing earphones. For example, Samsung's earbuds have better microphones with dual drivers that sound better.

But when it comes down to pricing, then these are really easy to recommend. Because Apple sells their earphones for Rs.18,900 and the Samsung earbuds are priced at Rs.15,990, NOTHING EAR 1 will be available for Rs.5,999!!!

In a nutshell, the NOTHING EAR 1 is an excellent value-for-money package. It has a unique & clean design, great sound, and almost all the features provided by the premium earphones.

Thus, it can be recommended easily.
