Everything new with Nothing Ear (2)
Nothing has heeded feedback about the bulkiness of the charging case in the Nothing Ear (1). As such, they’ve made the charging case for the Nothing Ear (2) more compact and slimmer. Dimensions aside, there isn’t much change in appearance. The charging case still keeps to its transparent theme with the same squarish shape with rounded edges.
The same can be said about the earbuds themselves. It retains the semi-transparent look iconic to the Nothing brand with the same in-ear bud type. Put the Ear (1) and Ear (2) side by side and you’ll find the Ear (2) is a shade longer. But aesthetically, things are pretty much unchanged.
Nothing claims to make significant strides in sound quality in the Ear (2). Its now packed with 11.6mm custom drivers that offer deeper bass. Not only that, it now has Low Latency High-Definition Audio Codec (LHDC) 5.0 which supports Hi-Res audio.
The Nothing Ear (2) boasts up to 40dB of active noise cancellation. But the magic lies beyond the amount of cancelled decibels. Nothing has also incorporated Personalized Noise Cancellation to tailor the audio based on the shape of your ears, enhancing your listening experience in the process. Not only that, you can also opt for Adaptive Mode which automatically adjust the level of noise cancellation based on your surroundings.
A neat new feature on the Nothing Ear (2) is the Dual Connection. Now, you’re able to connect the Ear (2) to two devices at one time and transition between them seamlessly. Say you’re listening to music on your laptop, and receive a phone call. The Ear (2) is intelligent enough to pick up which device the audio is coming from, and play it through the ear buds.
You’ll get up to 36 hours of playback with the casing on the Nothing Ear (2), a slight improvement from the 34 hours on the Ear (1). According to Nothing, you’ll have 8 hours in just 10 minutes of charge.
The Nothing Ear (2) only comes in white for now.
