Nothing's New Ear (3) Buds Had Me Talking to My Hand, Which Is Kind of Weird

Earlier this year, Nothing got some attention for its first over-ear headphones. The Nothing Headphone (1) have an eye-catching squarish design and the company's signature transparent elements. Now Nothing has upgraded its Nothing Ear (3) noise-canceling earbuds. Performance has improved but Nothing has also added a unique feature that may overshadow some of those performance improvements: a "super" microphone integrated into its charging case, which improves call-calling performance. The new bu

Modern earbuds often tout how many microphones they have on each bud, each helping contribute to crystal-clear calls and heavy duty noise cancellation.

"Your" vs. "My" in user interfaces

“Your” vs “My” in user interfaces When referring to the user’s stuff, which is better out of these: “My account” or “Your account”? “My orders” or “Your orders”? “My cases” or “Your cases”? It’s a trick question because often you don’t need any prefix and can just use: Account Orders Cases Amazon is a good example of this in action because it’s obvious that it’s your account and your orders: But what if your product contains things that belong to you and to others – for example, a case

Buttons are in right now—at least if you’re a designer at Nothing, they are. On its Headphone 1 (the first pair of Nothing-made over-ear headphones), there are all sorts of doodads. A paddle for track selection; a tic-tac-shaped wheel/button for volume and ANC; a pairing button (okay, this one is boring, but still, it’s a button). Even on its recently released Phone 3, there’s a button on the back of the phone for doing really useful stuff with its “Glyph Matrix,” like… playing spin the bottle.
