Weighing only 4.7 g, each earbud offers maximum comfort with pressure-relieving ventilation openings, ergonomic design, and three fluid silicone tips for a personalized fit. You might forget you're wearing them, and that's the point.
A dynamic 11.6 mm driver and a spacious air chamber deliver advanced bass, midrange, and treble performance. All tuned by the audiophile team at Teenage Engineering. When you need peace, activate the active noise cancellation to suppress unwanted background noise. Ideal for airplanes or in the office. If you want to let the world back in, you can easily return ambient sounds with just a press of a button in transparency mode.
Nothing ear (1) uses Clear Voice Technology and three high-resolution microphones to ensure you sound like yourself. While you speak, advanced algorithms reference a million voice and noise combinations to isolate and enhance your voice, achieving remarkable accuracy.

Each earbud features a mesh design for improved sweat and water resistance with an IPX4 rating. Music or videos automatically pause when you take the earbud out.

Ultimately, the price is the deciding factor for buying the Nothing Ear (1) because they come with premium features like ANC and wireless charging in this price segment. The good but not great sound and battery life can still compete with other mid-range headphones. At most, the bugs and the unusual design could speak against a purchase.
This in-ear delivered a respectable performance in all areas in the test. For this price, the Nothing Ear (1) is a real no-brainer.
