Nothing will announce the price and specifications of the upcoming earbuds later this month.
While confirming the launch, Nothing claimed that its upcoming second-generation TWS earbuds will feature the company’s “iconic design with elite engineering and next-level personalisation for the ultimate sound experience.”
Now, founder Carl Pei has revealed some more details about the Ear (2).
Pei, in an interview with Forbes, revealed that the Nothing Ear (2) will feature IP54 rating for basic splash and sweat protection.
The Nothing
CEO also revealed some more details about the upcoming earbuds. Let’s take a look at the Nothing Ear (2) specifications, features and other details revealed ahead of the launch.
Nothing recently confirmed the arrival of its first-ever second-generation product, dubbed the Nothing Ear (2).
The Nothing Ear (2) TWS will launch on March 22nd, 2023, and will resemble the Nothing Ear (1) in terms of design.
The TWS, however, will offer improved specifications and features, and the brand has now revealed a bunch of new specifications of the Nothing Ear (2).
Notably, the TWS will feature IP54 rating and support for LHDC Audio 5.0.
Regarding this, the company said: For effortless connection we increased the time spent testing Bluetooth functions for Ear (2).
If two abnormalities arose within a testing period of over 1000 hours, we deemed the function unstable and reworked for perfection.
Nothing Ear (2) IP rating, Audio Codec support Revealed
Nothing posted a long Twitter thread, wherein the brand revealed some key specifications and features of the upcoming Nothing Ear (2).
The Nothing Ear (2) will feature an IP54 rating, which will protect them against dust particles and water splashes, thereby ensuring that the TWS can be used during workout sessions and more such scenarios.
Furthermore, the TWS will offer LHDC Audio 5.0 support, which is a codec that enables higher audio quality streaming over Bluetooth.
Carl Pei even mentioned that the brand had contacted Spotify to update their library to LHDC.
All this necessarily means that the Nothing Ear (2) will be able to play any certified Hi-Res audio seamlessly.
Nothing Ear (2) Design, Features (Expected)
The Nothing Ear (2), as mentioned earlier, will resemble the Nothing Ear (1) in ways more than one. That said, we can expect the new TWS to feature a more compact design.
The TWS will feature ANC, as per reports. There will also be a feature called “Transparency Mode”, which will let the outside noise in while the music is playing. The case and the earbuds will follow Nothing’s semi-transparent design language.
Lastly, the Nothing Ear (2) will likely be able to pair with Android and iOS devices, and users will be able to do further customizations via the Nothing X app.
Faqs on Nothing Ear (2)
1) What are Nothing Ear (2) Features which are Officially Teased?
Ans) The Nothing Ear (2) is set to officially launch on March 22 in India and other global markets.
Ahead of the launch, some key features have been confirmed. The Ear (2) will come with support for LHDC 5.0.
This is an upgrade over the Ear (1)’s AAC codec support. With LHDC 5.0, users can listen to hi-res audio over Bluetooth.
The Nothing CEO also revealed that the upcoming premium earbuds will feature support for improved splash and dust resistance.
Pei said that the Ear (2) will come with an IP54 rating for water resistance. In comparison, the first-generation model came with an IPX4 rating where the earbuds were not provided with any official rating for protection against dust.
Nothing about the upcoming earbuds other than the information shared above has been officially confirmed by the brand. However, some details about the TWS have leaked.
The Nothing wireless earbuds design renders have leaked in the past.
The earbuds will continue to sport the same design as the first-generation model. There might be some minor changes here and there.
There is a stem design, which is semi-transparent and shows a black strip covering the internals of the earbuds.
We can also see the two circular batteries packed on the inner side of the earbuds. There is the Nothing Ear (2) branding on the stem to help identify the difference between the newer and older models.
The earbuds continue to sport silicone ear tips for added grip and passive noise cancellation.
The earbuds are also likely to retain some of the features from the Ear (1). These include support for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency Mode, etc.
The new Nothing earbuds are also said to get support for Advanced EQ with custom settings.
In addition to this, there will be support for GPS tracking via the Find my Earbuds feature. Other details about the Nothing earbuds are under wraps.
