These might be the most comfortable earbuds I've ever had. They tuck most of the weight/pressure behind the ear, which gives a really transparent feeling. It's better than clip-on designs, which hang off the side of the ear. These are slightly heavier than clip-ons, but because of their placement, it actually feels less noticeable. These also stay much more secure, because of the earhooks holding everything in place. What I like about it is that the main body of the bud is smaller than on a lot of competitors, like the Shokz Openfit (comparison photo added). There's less weight, so when you turn your head, the buds don't generate any inertia. Turning your head with Shokz give the feeling like they're about the fall out, while these sit tight. The body is smaller, so it touches less of your skin, and feels more like there's nothing on your ear at all. As far as I can tell, the Nothing (open) seems to have the smallest earbud body out of any open earbud design. The disc seems to sit further away from the ear canal than clip-ons and other open designs as well. The effect that this has is to increase peripheral hearing, since incoming sounds are less likely to be blocked by the earbuds. That plus the low weight and good location makes for a very transparent feeling listening experience. The battery life is good, about 8 hours, which about is the usual. The earbuds are color coded to their spot in the charging case. One minor oversight on an otherwise well designed charging case: while a cord is in the charging port, the case doesn't fully open. Other than that, the case is a highlight of the product. The sound quality is good, not excellent. For better sound quality in an open earbud, you'd want a clip-on design, like the Baseus Inspire XC1, which has a similar price point to the Nothing (open). But then again, if you want truly good sound quality, you'd go for IEMs or proper over-ear headphone. These aren't too bad, and the EQ can be adjusted in the app, but those who prefer lots of bass might be left wanting. My one major design complaint is that the cylinder at the end of the earhooks really doesn't need to exist. It's a hard chunk of plastic, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything, but it applies an every so slight amount of increased weight and pressure. The (open) is comfortable, but it could be more comfortable if those tabs were shrunken down or removed. All in all a solid earbud with a great visual design, clever sound cues to indicate device state (beeps and boops on connection/disconnect, rather than spoken phrases), and quick and responsive multipoint. Though for all its good points, I'd give it a skip if you need proper waterproofing, strong bass, or the best possible sound quality.

Let's clear the air for those who seem to be confused about the design goal/purpose "Nothing Ear (Open)", these are 'Specialty' EarBuds. They're optimized for Maintaining SA (Situational Awareness) while delivering clear & excellent audio w/o blocking ANY outside sound. It's PURPOSELY designed to not seal your ear canal or be inserted into your ears; that's BY DESIGN! Go watch the original YT videos about these and why they were created, the CEO of 'Nothing' explains what problems they were designed to solve. So anybody telling you that you have to insert these into your ear canals are HIGHLY misinformed as to their design goals & usage. You ARE SUPPOSED to leave them hanging right outside of the ear canals, you ARE "NOT supposed to insert them into your ear" for ANY reason. If you want EarBuds that seal your ear canals, "Nothing" offers other EarBuds for those purposes, please go look at them. Now, lets get back to the review. I'm coming from using the "Nothing Ear Stick". Those were good EarBuds that mimiced the design of the original Apple AirPods. Those still touched the openings in your ear and sealed the larger openings right outside w/o any silicone being shoved into the smaller ear openings. For me, that blocked out too much noise for my tastes, I wanted MORE SA (Situational Awareness). I don't want audio Transparency Modes, I just wanted the real thing; w/o lag from the EarBuds internal processing. This literally solves that problem for me and does a great job at it. The Battery life is pretty good. Initial tests in phone calls led to good Battery Usage. 15% Ear Open Power ~= 1.0 hr Talk Time. Reaching the Marketing Claims of 8 hr per Ear Open unit seems very realistic w/o recharging. Pure PodCast Listening is easier on the batteries, I'm able to get many hours w/o having to charge the Ear Opens. I've only drained the case battery down to 65% despite having over 8 hours of podcast listening + Long conversations over the phone. I haven't recharged it after the initial charge to full for the case + Ear Opens. BTW, I got these 2 days before the official Release Date of Sep 30. I got them on Sep 28, thanks Amazon! So I've got extra time to use them. This marks the First Week of using them during my Every Day routines. Comfort wise, I LOVE it, the Audio Drivers sit right outside your Ear, nothing gets shoved into the larger or smaller orifices in your ear. I can hear everything around me & maintain SA. Nobody seems to be able to hear what's being broadcasted as well, if they really wanted to hear something, their ear has to be right next to your Ear Opens. At that point, you've got other issues if somebody has their ears so close that your heads are about to collide. So far, I'm loving my first week of using these Ear Opens, I like them more than my Ear Sticks, which were already excellant. While driving the audio quality is clearer & louder, despite not having any seal into my ear, and I can hear everything around me as well. So it solves my problem of maintaining SA while out about on the street, or while driving. Audio call quality is pretty good, nothing to write home about. It's clear enough, but don't expect it to mimic any professional level microphones. It's good enough for it's class of EarBuds, especially at it's price. There is a small rattle in the case, I wish there was something they could do to solve that. I'll improvise a solution in the mean time. Over-All, these are AWESOME EarBuds. I definitely recommend the "Nothing Ear Open" for those who want to maintain SA (Situational Awareness) while out & about doing every day routines or working or driving around.

Overall these are excellent earbuds for daily wear. They don't get too loud so it doesn't ever feel like I'm blasting sound into my ears but it produces clear audio especially for voices which is what I use it for. Very rarely do I use them to listen to music but when I have most of the music made it through minus some frequencies that are a bit lower depending on the music. The controls are great, I rarely accidentally "squeeze" them. When taking them off or putting them on it's easy to grab them, and they only really move so much I almost always put them on with very little effort or adjusting. The few downsized are they generally are comfortable except when I have sunglasses or safety glasses on. Where glasses sit on the ear they either press down on the plastic embedding it into the ear or push them aside making the fit uncomfortable. The other is just that if I have them on and no audio is coming through, I'll forget they are on. Take off your shirt with them on and they'll randomly fly in either direction. Also the fit never really "feels" secure mainly because they don't really attach to the ear canal, just hover over it. You can manipulate the bigger end and push it so it friction fits near the base of your ear lobe, but eventially will loosen and you get what you get. It's not a deal breaker but I'd like to see how some of the competitors fit. Overall I'm starting to like these much more than in ear. For music I'll stick to over the ear but for daily use listening to mainly podcasts and audiobooks these are great.

Update:I've had them for a good while now and they are still like new. They don't move when I run, or workout. No issues when doing core work our getting up and off weight bench or bending. They stay on. Volume is good at loud gym. I still enjoy the thin small charging case. The charge stays on as long as I place them back in the case after I use them. I would purchase again and still hoping they make a black pair! Original review: I freaking love them! I had two pairs of the Oladance pro. I paid 229 to the Oladance. Unfortunately my dog ate my other ear phones and they weren't selling anymore. So I started looked for new ones. I use them to walk the dog and run at the gym. I saw these along with another big competitor on Amazon Shokz for 179. I'm glad I went with these. I like to give new brands a chance first. Just like I did with Oladance over Sony and loved them too. Anyway, I decided to go with these for the deal and the quality. The sound is amazing! They are louder and more bass than my Oladance. Price way better than Oladance. Lighter and more comfortable than Oladance. I like the cute little charger. It's longer but thinner and will fit better in my purse than my old charger. Easy to connect as well. I took them out of the box paired them in seconds. Also, when they are up super loud and I take them off I can barely hear the music. With the Oladance there was less privacy. So far I love these! I just have to take them for a run! Lets go! I wish they had them in black and I would buy a second pair. I always need a back up. Thank you! My new favorite brand! So glad I didn't get the other competitor. I almost did and glad I gave these a chance! Woot woot! I'm a happy customer! Cheers!

They fit, the battery is great and sound is decent all in an extremely elegant design. But there are a few issues. One I found the audio to not reach good clarity at louder volumes on runs, minor and acceptable. But the two biggest are the charging pins and pairing button. After not even a year of use, the charging pins due to pad design start to get stuck from what I assume is minor debris. This causes the ear buds to either not charge or not connect when taken out the case. The other issue is that the pairing button also got jammed stuck and even pressing down with the end of a pen doesn’t activate it meaning it’s stuck only paired to my watch for running and no longer my new phone. When I contacted nothing support, I got some of the most useless and annoying customer support. When I told them the issues, they suggested to send pictures and clean debris (no duh). After I told them that I already did and even used sharp tweezers to try and pluck out the charging pins so it can charge, they said they’d accept a warranty claim on the conditions: I pay for shipping, they repair it (which for something so small I’d assume they’d just replace it anyways so they should just send in a replacement case of pair all together), and if they find the “damage” caused by me then I’d be charged for any repairs. Ofc they are going to look at the scuffed plastic around the charging pins because I was trying to get the pin to stick out and then say I caused the damage. Meanwhile I had an issue with the charging case on a set of open earbuds from a different company and all I did was file a claim, give them the serial number and they sent the replacement pair free of charge no questions asked. Because of this, I am giving them 3 stars. It’d be 4.7 ish stars (minus 0.3 for the bad quality and high volume) if they had an actual customer support that supported customers.

I saw the deluge of videos on these once they were announced, and they did not disappoint. These are my first open earbuds, so I have nothing in this category to compare with. However, these made a huge positive first impression on me coming from the sealed in-ear Pixel Buds Pro (I never really used the ANC on them anyways – they were in Transparency mode most of the time). They're plenty loud for me. The sound quality is good for what these are. There's an objective amount of detail that's lost due to the open design, but these are impressive for what they've accomplished. Just to try it out, I tried pushing the driver closer to my ear canal with my fingers, and the deeper bass and cleaner sound was a lot more evident. At their default volume (about half) they may have even been a bit too loud, so my regular listening volume is at the lowest setting (I've yet to try them in a noisy environment, though). I can hear everything around me in a similar way that the Buds Pro had its Transparency mode, except I don't have something shoved directly into my ear opening. Which leads to the next point – comfort and longevity are the reason I wanted to move to open buds. I can wear these for hours at a time and barely notice they're there. It's not an unlimited amount of time, but it's much longer than I can sustain in-ear buds. They're not imperceptible, but you have to be conscious of them to notice you're wearing them. Sure they might be a little dorky looking, but that goes for just about any buds in this style. They have the Nothing touch, so I think they hold their own in terms of design which is a good thing. Nothing has been killing it in terms of their industrial design. I'd love to rock one of their phones but they only come in XL sizes. There is a bit of a delay with the touch controls, but that's probably to prevent accidental touches. The pressure required to activate the squeeze controls. Some of them are mixes of multiple taps and holds, which is probably another reason for the delay. They're customizable through the Nothing X app, which you have to download onto your device. The options are adequate and I've customized them from default, and placed the Assistant gesture on the right bud. In terms of their size, the case looked huge when I saw it in videos. It's not small by any means but it is smaller than I expected. If there was something I could change about these, it would all be in the case. A more compact size (similar to the Soundcore AeroFit) and wireless charging would be nice. The packaging is pretty minimal, but it comes with all you need. They're fully charged out of the box, you get a charging cable and some reading material. There is a firmware update available once you get them connected to the app. For some reason when I first paired them to my phone, only the left bud connected. After putting them back in the case and long pressing the button on the case, all was good to go. Then I was able to proceed with the firmware update. Earlier I mentioned that my regular listening volume is at the lowest, but once they're disconnected and reconnected they go back to their default volume. I need to determine if this is a phone thing or a buds thing (I haven't found any indication there's a setting for it in the Nothing X app). That about sums up my experiences in the hours that I've had these. I'll be updating this review if my impressions change, and I'm overall happy with my first Nothing purchase.

I wanted to like these, Nothing seems like a good company. But man the case for these really makes them almost a burden to use. The case is very long, very slippery and does an absolutely awful job and keeping them secure while closed. Every step you take is answered by a rattle from the battery stems shaking from not being held down by magnets. On top of that if you drop the case even a little bit you better hope it stays closed because the retention of the earbuds is almost Nothing, pun intended. Also, one last gripe for the case. It's very slippery and very long, while at first thought you think it's pocketable you soon realize that it will slip down to lay flat at the bottom of your pocket instead of vertical like you want. So now you have a 5 inch long solid plastic thing sitting uncomfortably in your pocket. Also you can't open the lid of the case while it's charging? Huh? Onto sound, it's it's highlight and it's glaring weakness. At below 60% volume they sound great, rich deep bass and good all around balance. But if you need just a little bit more volume they immediately turn into a sound that can be described as similar to gas station 5 dollar earbuds. All hint of bass disappears, it's gets very tinny sounding and unpleasant. Distortion starts to happen above around 85% volume to the point where it sounds like it could be doing damage to the earbuds. Comfort and fit is very hard to quantify for everyone, but for me they are ok. They don't stay put for long so there's always some adjustments, this could be because of wearing them with glasses also. They don't pinch or hurt, just kinda move out of the optimal place for sound. I'm 6'1 with appropriate sizes ears so maybe on smaller ears it's better? Uhhh I guess they look kinda neat. Comparing these to my previous daily drivers for this open ear style, im probably going to go back to them. I was using the open ring style earbuds from TOZO. 25 bucks, case is smaller with a digital reason for battery life, they sound better and feel more secure. I did pay for these on sale for 80 dollars i believe, if I had paid full price I would be livid and would've returned them immediately. But they still sound good for around the house where it's quieter. I don't have an opinion on this brand outside of these earbuds, maybe their other headphones and earbuds and stuff are good, these are unfortunately a miss.

Exelente producto, me gusto mucho su diseño, son comodos y no molestan, me sorprendio mucho la calidad del sonido, apesar de que son abiertos si notas los bajos, puedes usar su equalizador de la aplicacion.

Nothing ear open is fantastic

O fone veio apenas com o esquerdo funcionando, estou solicitando a devolucao. Testando apenas o esquerdo, o produto parece ser de otima qualidade.

Coming from the AirPod Pro 2s, these are my favorite pair of bluetooth headphones I've owned yet. They are an open design which means there's no ANC. You'll need to be careful not to crank the volume up too hard when listening in noisy environments to protect your hearing. You do lose some detail compared to the AP2 by nature of it being open design. The thing I love most about this is that they sound fantastic for their category and I no longer have to contend with gunky ear canals from over-wearing the AP2s. No more ear infections, and no more AirPods slipping out of my ear canal. There's a surprising amount of bass that doesn't get in the way of the rest of the sound. I use these most as an extension of my phone when I'm out and about and I also use these connected to my smart TV for watching content late at night without disturbing others. Beyond that, they are extremely comfortable to wear, I can wear these all day and forget I'm wearing them. I can even wear over ear headphones for my job with these still in my ears. I'm excited to see where nothing takes this class of headphones several generations down the line. My only unfulfilled wish at this price point was for the case to have wireless charging. I'll still be keeping my AirPod Pro 2s for unique situations like when flying in a plane for the noise cancelling.

Me encantó y más a quien se los obsequie
