TL;DR Nothing has announced its newest in-ear earbuds, called the Ear 3.
The Nothing Ear 3 features upgraded sound, improved microphones, and LDAC codec support.
The case is constructed from recycled aluminum and features dual microphones, enabling it to function as a standalone microphone.
After launching the Ear and Ear A last year, Nothing shifted its focus to experimenting with offbeat audio products, such as its open-ear earbuds and atypically shaped headphones. However, it’s now returning to a more mainstream design with the upgraded in-ear style Nothing Ear 3 truly wireless earbuds.
On the surface, the Nothing Ear 3 appear identical to the Ear (2024) and Ear 2 (2023), which themselves looked similar to the Ear 1 (2021). Nothing still follows the transparent design language, though the inserts in the stem now have a metallic build to them, which adds a little premium flair.
