Product details
With a more powerful sound and a stunning new design, the Ear (3a) has everything you need. With Audio Snapshot and Call Recording, you can capture what you’re hearing, whilst the improved Active Noise Cancellation helps you block out everything else. And with 42 hours’ battery life, you can keep going when everyone else has already gone home. The 12 mm driver is larger than that in the Ear (a). As a result, the bass is now up to 5 dB louder. The diaphragm makes voices and instruments sound clearer. As a result, the Ear (3a) is Hi-Res Audio certified with the LDAC codec for lossless music. With up to 45 dB of Wideband Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), everything sounds clear and natural. Three microphones filter out background noise, letting you choose what you want to hear in any situation. Trained on over 28 million scenarios, Clear Voice Technology uses three microphones to ensure calls remain clear – free from distracting noises such as ECHO or traffic. Ready to use straight away: you control the Buds with a pinch. Press once to play, twice to skip tracks, or hold down to adjust the volume. The controls can be customised in the Nothing X app (Android/iOS). Ear (3a) comes with four sizes of liquid silicone ear tips, so you can wear them all day long. On the charging case, three new LEDs show you the charging progress, battery level and pairing status via unique light patterns. With Audio Snapshot, you can record up to one minute of audio directly on the Ear (3a) using a pinch gesture. Alternatively, set Audio Snapshot to retroactively save the 30 seconds prior to the start of the recording. You can organise and share these moments in the Nothing X app (Android/iOS).
