Nothing has announced its second-gen truly wireless earbuds, the Ear (2). These earbuds actually resemble the first-gen model a lot, in terms of the design, the case is noticeably smaller, though. They also have a number of improvements in tow.
The Nothing Ear (2) earbuds are official with familiar design and various improvements
These are, once again, made out of plastic, and have that see-through design that we’re used to when it comes to Nothing. Considering that the case is smaller, they now include a 485mAh battery, compared to a 570mAh one in the Ear (1) model. Nothing does say you’ll get better battery life, though, mainly due to an improved audio chip.
Speaking of which, the company promises up to 36 hours of total music playback without ANC, compared to 34 hours on the Ear (1). The standalone battery life has also been improved, claims the company, from 5.7 hours to 6.3 hours without ANC.
Nothing says you can get up to 8 hours of use with a 10-minute charge. Qi wireless charging is still supported (2.5W). There is a Type-C port for wired charging too, though, of course.
They come with an 11.6mm dynamic driver, and dual chamber design
The Nothing Ear (2) earbuds come with an 11.6mm dynamic driver, and dual chamber design. Bluetooth 5.3 is supported here, and the same goes for AAC, SBC, and LHDC 5.0 codecs. They also offer Hi-Res audio certification, and are compatible with Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and offer the Dual Connection feature.
When it comes to active noise canceling, they can cancel out noise up to 40dB. ANC also adapts itself to the environment, and we’re looking at a frequency range of 5,000Hz here.
There are four Smart Adaptive Noise cancellation modes, High, Mid, Low, and Adaptive. The Transparency mode is also a part of the package, of course.
The earbuds themselves are IP54 certified
These earbuds are IP54 certified, while the case itself is IP55 certified. In other words, both are water resistant. There are also touch controls on the earbuds themselves, which allow you to control music playback, answer and reject calls, switch between ANC modes, and more.
The Nothing Ear (2) earbuds weigh 4.5 grams, per earbud. The case weighs 51.9 grams. The dimensions of each earbud are 29.4 x 21.5 x 23.5mm. The charging case measures 55.5 x 55.5 x 22mm.
The Nothing Ear (2) earbuds are priced at $149 / £129, and will go on sale starting on March 28.
