Nothing is about to launch itsbest Android phonefor budget buyers yet, theNothing Phone (2a). But a new leak suggests that it might be launching something else too: a set of true wireless earbuds. The most likely explanation is that Nothing is preparing to bring us the successor to the Nothing Ear (2) earbuds pictured above.
That’s a tantalising prospect because we really rate the Nothing Ear (2): in ourNothing Ear (2) reviewwe gave them the full five stars thanks to their “brilliant” sound sculpting and noise cancellation. “ANC earbuds don’t come more complete than this,” we said – but that was a year ago, and because tech years work like dog years the intensely competitive market for earbuds has already moved on.
What do we know about the Nothing Ear (3) earbuds?
The downside to such listings is that they don’t tell us anything about the actual product: even the name has to be guessed. And that means we don’t know what if any improvements have been made to crucial features such as noise cancelling, sound quality or battery life. In our review battery life was one of the areas we identified for improvement; we also would have liked faster wireless charging. Hopefully the upgrade will deliver both.
But while details are currently so sketchy they’ve barely been sketched at all, it might be wise to hang on for a bit if you’ve been considering investing in a set of the Nothing Ear (2) earbuds: if a new model is imminent then that’s likely to trigger further price cuts. At the time of writing the Ear (2) earbuds are already down from the £129 RRP to around £108 or £109 from reputable retailers; the launch of a third generation is likely to make that price fall further.
