(open) your world.
Today, we announced our latest product, Ear (open): Nothing’s first open wearable stereo (OWS) earbuds. In the video above, @Akis, @Carl and @Justin take us through all of Ear (open)'s specs. And, Yuri, Nothing’s Software Product Design Lead, showcased some exciting new features coming to Nothing OS 3.0 in the coming months, including a brand new smart drawer powered by AI, and the long-awaited Nothing Gallery app.
Let’s recap the key features of Ear (open).
Open Sound Technology
Designed to provide an elevated listening experience, Ear (open) blends superior sound quality with comfort and situational awareness, delivering a revolutionary, more connected way to experience audio.
Ear (open) offers Nothing’s Open Sound Technology, which creates a more immersive audio experience while maintaining users’ awareness of their surroundings. Whether it’s birds singing or the hum of the city, users can stay connected to their environment without compromising on sound quality.
Advanced Sound Performance
Ear (open) delivers superior audio quality through its custom patent-pending diaphragm, titanium coating, ultra-light driver and stepped design. The custom shape reduces distortion and enhances low frequencies while the titanium coating reproduces crisp high notes. The automatic Bass Enhance algorithm optimises low frequencies for a richer bass experience.
All-Day Battery and Performance
With 8 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 30 hours with the charging case, Ear (open) ensures users can enjoy their music or podcasts all day long. For those on the go, a 10-minute quick charge provides 2 hours of listening time.
And, the built-in Clear Voice Technology ensures crystal-clear calls, even in challenging environments, thanks to its AI-enhanced processing, which has been trained on over 28 million noise scenarios.
Smart Features for a Smarter World
Ear (open) continues Nothing’s mission to integrate AI-driven features into everyday tech products. Through its ChatGPT integration, users can access real-time information directly from their earbuds, enhancing the user experience while keeping their hands free. This feature, available via the Nothing X app, allows voice-controlled access to ChatGPT, making it easier than ever to stay informed on the go.
Ear (open) is now available for pre-order on nothing.tech and will be available for purchase globally starting 1 October at $149 / £129 / €149.
