Nothing Ear (2024) review: flagship features, mid-range price
LDAC, a ceramic driver and strong ANC for well under $150, the value pick in the category. Our score: 8.5 / 10 Specs that punch up The Nothing Ear brings a ceramic-diaphragm driver, LHDC and LDAC hi-res support and personalised ANC to a $149 price. It sounds clean and detailed, the ANC handles commutes well, and the transparent design still looks good years into the gimmick. Best on Android The full feature set (hi-res codecs, the ChatGPT integration, deep EQ) shows up on Android, especially a Nothing phone. On iPhone they are still good, just less special. The good and the bad What works Ceramic driver, genuinely good sound LDAC and LHDC hi-res support Strong ANC for the price Distinctive design What doesn’t Case is a fingerprint magnet Best features are Android-first Wind handling on calls is average Who it’s for Buy it if you are on Android and want a lot of earbud for around $150. Skip it if you are deep in Apple’s ecosystem, where AirPods integrate better. Alternatives worth a look AirPods Pro 2, for iPhone owners. Sony WF-1000XM5, better ANC, much pricier. The verdict: The default recommendation for Android users who do not want to spend AirPods money. Sources GSMArena specifications
