London-based tech startup Nothing has officially unveiled its latest wireless earbuds, the Nothing Ear 3, marking a significant leap in its audio product line. Known for its transparent design and minimalist aesthetic, the company continues to bring a unique blend of style and functionality to the TWS (true wireless stereo) market.
Standout Feature: Dedicated Talk Button
The highlight of the Ear 3 is the introduction of a dedicated talk button, designed to simplify voice calls. This hardware feature allows users to instantly switch to call mode without navigating through touch controls or voice assistants. Nothing says this button enhances convenience for professionals and everyday users alike, making it a first-of-its-kind addition in mainstream wireless earbuds.
Design and Build
Staying true to its design philosophy, the Ear 3 maintains a transparent casing with refined curves for improved comfort. The earbuds are more compact than the previous generation while still offering a premium in-ear fit. The redesigned charging case is slimmer and equipped with faster pairing technology.
Audio Performance and AI Enhancements
The Nothing Ear 3 features enhanced sound quality with larger dynamic drivers for deeper bass and sharper treble. The earbuds also include AI-powered adaptive noise cancellation that automatically adjusts based on the environment, ensuring an uninterrupted audio experience. Personalized sound tuning via the Nothing X app further allows users to tailor the sound profile to their liking.
Battery Life and Connectivity
The earbuds promise up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, with the case extending total usage to 36 hours. Fast charging delivers 10 hours of playtime in just 10 minutes. Connectivity is powered by the latest Bluetooth 5.4 standard, ensuring low latency and stable connections across devices.
Price and Availability
The Nothing Ear 3 is priced at $149 (approx. ₹12,499 in India), making it a competitive offering in the premium mid-range segment. The earbuds will be available globally through Nothing’s online store and select retail partners starting later this month.
