Nothing Ear, Ear (a) India launch on April 18

Nothing has recently revealed that it's announcing something on April 18, and today the company has let us know exactly what to expect: the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a).

A Shift in Naming Strategy

Ahead of this launch, the company has decided to reset its naming scheme and strip back the numbers it has so far been using to underscore each generation of each product.

By giving up on the numbers, Nothing says it can "center the focus around the product and the unique experience it delivers for each user".

Rebranding and New Additions

The Nothing Ear (3) isn't the Nothing Ear (3) anymore, it's just the new Nothing Ear. Joining that pair of high-end earbuds will be the Nothing Ear (a), to possibly complement the Nothing Phone (2a) in the company's portfolio as a more affordable option.

Nothing promises to deliver "premium for everyone that isn't about market price, but user preference".

Anticipation is growing for the Ear and Ear (a), which are set to soon enter the market. Stay tuned for our reviews of both!

Nothing Ear Expected Specs

The Nothing Ear will succeed the Ear (2) from last year. While we don’t know its specs, the Ear (2) offers active noise cancellation of up to 40dB and uses Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, supporting the new LHDC 5.0 codec.

It also has a transparent casing and IP54 rating for sweat and water resistance. The earphones are powered by 11.6mm customised drivers and each earpiece features three AI-backed microphones.

The buds offer a 33mAh battery inside each earpiece and a 485mAh battery inside the charging case, providing up to 36 hours of music playback on a single charge with ANC turned off.
