London-based consumer tech brand, Nothing has today announced the sale commencement of its recently launched Ear (a).

The much-awaited wireless earbud will hit the shelves today and will be available at an introductory price of just ₹5,999, valid only for today.

Designed in London, Ear (a) features Nothing’s transparent design, but takes a new direction with a fresh bubble design and yellow colour.

With soft contours and a slim rectangular frame, Ear (a) feels as good in the pocket as it does in the palm.

Nothing has introduced two new entries in its lineup of wireless earbuds: the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a).

These latest releases were announced during a live event from Tokyo, Japan, marking significant enhancements in their audio product suite with advanced integrations of ChatGPT.

“By integrating ChatGPT with Nothing earbuds, including the new Nothing Ear and Ear (a), and with Nothing OS, we’ve taken our first steps towards change, and there’s more to come,” said Carl Pei, CEO and Co-Founder of Nothing. “As always, we look forward to feedback from our community.”

ANC

With Nothing’s new Smart ANC algorithm, Ear (a) checks the seal within one’s ear canal for noise leakage and generates more noise cancellation to block out as much noise as possible.

Adaptive ANC detects distractions in your environment and automatically applies high, medium, or low noise cancellation levels to your surrounding noise.

At 45 dB, Ear (a) offers noise cancellation that is almost two times that of Ear (2).

Additionally, with a bandwidth of up to 5000 Hz, Ear (a) can effectively detect and reduce more challenging sounds.

Sound

Ear (a)’s new driver delivers 2.5x more transient power that takes advantage of Nothing’s game-changing dual chamber design.

This increase in power delivers an even deeper and more powerful bass performance.

Performance

Ear (a)’s 500 mAh battery in the charging case and 46 mAh battery in each bud allows users to get up to 42.5 hours of music playback after a full charge with the charging case.

For speedy power-ups, Ear (a) can Fast Charge for ten minutes and deliver ten hours of music playback (with case and ANC turned off).

For easy activity switching, Ear (a) can be connected to two devices at the same time.

Chat GPT Integration

Through the new integration, users with the latest Nothing OS and ChatGPT installed on their Nothing phones will be able to pinch-to-speak to the most popular consumer AI tool in the world directly from Nothing earbuds, including the newly launched Ear and Ear (a).
