Nothing Ear (open) is officially announced as a new addition to the brand's range of audio accessories. It is a pair of open wireless earphones with on-ear capability. The hook part uses a soft silicone material with one color option, which is white. At the same time, it is believed to be suitable for use when doing sports because it is not easy to fall.
Nothing is also seen still maintaining their iconic finish with the presence of translucent components. Since it's a pair of open earphones, there are no silicone buds included with the speaker holes being placed right in front of the ear holes. Through it, Nothing also uses a set of 14.2mm audio drivers with Nothing's latest noise cancellation technology (Clear Voice Technology 3.0) which is believed to be able to filter environmental noise as well as possible.
Quick pairing can be done via bluetooth 5.3 which also supports dual-device smart connection simultaneously. Meanwhile, the supported codecs are AAC and SBC for better audio quality. There is also a Low Lag Mode feature that certainly attracts the attention of gamers to get the maximum gaming experience. It can also be activated automatically when the Nothing phone user is using Game Mode. Optionally can be activated through the Nothing X application for other phone users.
It also has built-in ChatGPT support that can be accessed through the Nothing X app just like the ones offered on other Nothing earphones. This allows users to invoke the OpenAI chatbot for quick access with voice commands. The included battery can work up to 30 hours with the help of a charging pod then recharged via the built-in USB-C port.
The official selling price is RM695 with availability starting 28 September 2024 at Crossover's Official Store. Online purchases can be made starting October 1 at Shopee and October 5, 2024 through Lazada. Then the open sale will start on 14 October 2024 at all Nothing authorized distributors throughout Malaysia.
