Nothing's New Ear (3) Buds Had Me Talking to My Hand, Which Is Kind of Weird

Nothing launched its flagship noise-canceling earbuds, the Nothing Ear , priced at $179 and available starting September 18, 2025.
This launch follows the April 2024 release of the previous flagship, Nothing Ear, with the new model improving sound quality, noise canceling, and call performance.
The Ear features a refined transparent design fused via nano injection molding for tight 0.03mm tolerances, a dual-microphone Super Mic in the recycled aluminum case, and upgraded 12mm drivers.
It includes a 55mAh battery per earbud offering 5.5 hours ANC-on playback and a 500mAh case extending total life to 22 hours, with Bluetooth 5.4 requiring Android 6.0 or iOS 13+ support.
The new earbuds’ performance enhancements and Super Mic suggest improved usability for calls, though some note the ear tip design may affect seal and noise cancellation effectiveness.
