Ordered the ear (1)? Share your experience

You have followed the teases and the news, you saw the event where the design of the ear (1) was finally revealed. And now the day has finally arrived: you...

Bass

Still waiting for my invostor-pre-order ear (1) as well. They are supposed to arrive on Thursday. Can´t wait!

But I had to buy another pair today as well as an “ordinary” customer, the purchase went through and they ships within 2-4 weeks.It will be interesting to compare the two purchases in terms of customer support/shipping times and so on…

In sweden the price was 1.190 SEK which trades 115-120 Euros but I guess thats some kind of forex fees or something.

Good luck everyone, now lets hope the actual ear (1) product is as good as we (at leas I) hope!

Haha, I’m sure you’ll be checking the order status daily! My order is due to arrive Thursday and is currently somewhere in Belgium. I’m glad that soon we’ll be able to discuss a real, physical product together!

I’m sure it was stressful! Thank god for autofill!

Fedex finally has them and it still hasn’t left HK. My delivery date is now changed to 24th. Ordered it on 27th July, so 1 month for the delivery.
I’d like to share a few thoughts I have since the launch.

The primary reason I invested in nothing is because of the community driven approach and the trust I had in @Carl

. I’m sorry to say, I haven’t been disappointed like this in recent times by any other company. It’s okay if we do not receive special treatment by the team. But regardless of being an investor/community member, as a customer, I wouldn’t support a brand who doesn’t deliver. It saddens me more being an Investor and I hope the customers are treated better. I truly believe, customer satisfaction should be the number 1 priority after products and it shouldn’t be compromised, whatever the cost.
Please if possible, try not to make false promises as part of marketing. If you’re not 100 percent sure, DON’T. Cause with the hype you created, people love the product even before experiencing it. And it doesn’t take much time for that love to turn into hate, especially with below par customer services. I’d have been 100 percent satisfied if it said “Pre-order for Investors” and the original time-frame was 1 month. In fact, I’d even be delighted, if I get it a couple of days earlier.
Improve social media game. Brands are now focusing more on customer services through social media and it works. I personally have experienced it, and it does wonders.
Now as an Investor, if possible try to engage more with the community here. The least we expect is response from the team, regarding any/all queries or discussion. I have seen many messages/queries from the community, left without response or getting response after days/weeks. Interact more with the community, otherwise there’s no difference between an official community platform and an unofficial one on reddit.

To sum up, I’ll continue supporting the brand but only till it has not lost its path. I don’t believe in supporting/defending a brand/organization for what it once stood for, as is the case with many “fans” supporting/defending their brands and proving their allegiance.

You can disregard this like any other message or you could use this to engage in more conversations with the community.

They’re now in London and arriving today - it was a pleasure travelling with you guys 😆

After being “Sold Out” and back again in stock during the afternoon (perhaps it was a cache problem, saw Nothing telling someone to clear it), now it seems they are sold out.

I’m getting a sold out message without the “2-4 weeks” part and I can also see at the bottom of the page:

Finally it is here !! Its Different !!

Bass

arpan2308

Different…

…good, bad or just different? 🤣

I really like the esthetics tho´! At first I had some concerns, but the more I look at it, the better they look!

Happy listening!

Congratulations, you might be the first Indian Customer to receive the nothing ear 1.

Reserving the final verdict for sometime…lets give them atleast a day of listening.

Aesthetics wise they are just FANTASTIC. The plastic case is looking like a glass one 🥳 (atleast on day1)

How is the ANC?

vikas

arpan2308

Yes, definitely. I’m from Kerala and mine just went from Delhi to Dubai.

Keep your expectations low with ANC…i am talking to people around me with ANC ON 😛

…at zero volume, ANC is able to be block only Fan/AC sound. At 60%+ volume, it is better but not sure it is bcaz of ANC or volume

Got mine today as well! (actually a day ahead of schedule). First impressions:

MISC

Outer packaging could be more luxurious
Product packaging is nice. How ever there is still a bit left to reach the feeling of unboxing (any) apple products
The case is quite a bit bigger than the airpods pro. I think it can be slimmed, but I think nothing made the right decision to get the product out to the market rather than obsessing (?) over a few % on the case. I dont think the size-difference is bothering me. That being said I havent really carrying them with me yot so Ill save this one for later.
The wight is another big diffrence, the case with earbuds is approx 10grams heavier than the airpods pro. The wight and size difference in the case actually plays quite a bit in favor of airpods. But then again they are >2x price, but I just felt that so far I havent really appreciated the round edges of the airpod case - and this makes a difference!

PRODUCT

Theres a nice feel when opening the case, this feels quality. Also I like the clean look when the case is open. The earbuds are easy to take in and out - but Im gonna need some time to get used to how to put them back in the case. I love the little red dot which make it easy to put the right bud in the right slot, but Im not used to the angle I need to put them back in. It will come with time - for sure.
Grabbing the earbud: WOW. This is what Im talking about. So far I think the airpod pro is ahead but now the ear (1) fights back. Even though its semi-transparent this is not something that makes it looks/feel cheap, rather the opposite. I honestly feel the ear (1) gives me a more quality-feel than the airpod pro bud. And this is big for me. Also I can feel and notice the ligther weight (4,8 ear (1) vs 5,6 (airpod pro) on my scale). Beforehand I was a bit concerned that the lighter weight would make it feel cheap but it doesnt. I love it!
The pre-fitted M earplug was a bit small for me, and the L was easily fitted. Without really understanding why, I havent loved the “fit” of the airpod pro in my ear before (this is why Ive almost always use my regular airpods - changed like a week ago for a better comparison with the ear (1)). Now I understand that this awkward feeling is the “weight” the airpod pro puts in my ear. The ear (1) gives me nothing (haha) of this and I dont think its only due to ,8 of a gram lighter but rather the whole design of the earbud.
Its a “silky” feeling in my ear wearing the ear (1) and I cant really feel it in my ear, its like I only have a piece of cotton in there and this is a huge difference from the airpod pro. It almost feel as if they are going to fall out but no matter how much I shake my head they arent going anywhere.

SOUND

I havent really had a chance to listen to them yet and Im not that familiar with ANC in general. Mostly I listen to audiobooks and podcast if Im not working out and so far I think the sound is really crisp and the bass is there - even in low volumes

This being said Im really impressed with @changename so far. I think they have made the effort where its most important - feel, quality and sound, not chasing the last millimeter or gram in the case and maximizing the packaging. I can live with a big(ger)/bulky(ier) case because if anybody gave me an ultimatum right now that i could only chose one of the above for the rest of the year; I can honestly say I would chose the ear (1), and thats pretty cool!

Thanks @Carl for making it a possibility for me to be a little part of this exiting new project!

arpan2308

It’s like my shipment is doing a world tour.

Did it clear New Delhi customs before going to Dubai?

For successful custom clearance in India, fedex will show an update with text “International shipment release - Import”
