Ear 2 has the worst battery life I have ever encountered, previously owned jabra elite 7, samsung buds 2 Pro, and sony earbuds before ear 2, and they have at least twice the battery life. I barely get 3 hours without anc. Disabled high quality audio in nothing app in hope of getting more battery, but there is no difference. Tested ear 2 on phone 2, pixel 7 and galaxy s23, they all have equally bad battery life. Of course I have the latest firmware. This is so sad because the headphones are very good but unusable with this poor battery. On top of this, enabling high quality audio in settings you get bluetooth latency lag when watching TV and movies, but not on pixel and samsung, only on your own phone 2 !???! Submitted bug report on release date of phone 2, so far nothing is getting me nothing 🙃. Contacted support in the matter, but they only gave me standard answer like I am some kind of noob, never had owned a phone before.

    i am getting only 1 hr battery backup for buds without ANC. this is horrible. Previously I had Realme Buds Air 2 and they gives almost 5 + hours backup with ANC on. Ear 2 battery is only 1 hr backup without using ANC. This is horrifying as I have paid a premium price and this is a premium product. What a shame �. I have latest firmware installed already still battery is too bad.

      I bought ear (2) Black in this week but I did bot unpack them yet. Do you think IT os better to return them and look for something else? I have NP1 so it would be a great addition. They have a good sound quality and design, application also looks amazing.

      What are your listening parameters? ANC? Volume?

      I also got the ear (2).and am facing battery drain issues. While the tuning and the audio quality is ok, I request the team to push a quality of life update improving the battery life. While retaining the same audio. I would also appreciate the option to directly change the audio codec in the nothing x app or in the settings menu of the phone(2)

      I love the product. I love the comfort and the equilizer modes and the flexibility it comes with. However, one thing I’m struggling with, is the battery life. I mean, come on, why should battery life be compromised on a product I’m paying this much for!

      Otherwise, an overall great product but this poor battery life takes the beauty of it out

      I bought ear 2 in BBS i was so excited firstly but after using two days i observed same thing as you guys noticed… by using the touching gestures the battery is drained too fastly . Its very disappointing..at this price range

      Poor battery health…and anc support

      Hello, I just bought the headphones and I compare them with others I have. I have little with them but it seems that the battery thing is true, it is little. But it is also true that the other headphones have more battery capacity, for example the Oneplus Buds Pro 2 have 60 mAh headphones, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 58 mAh, the Nothing Ear 2 33 mAh, so it is to be expected. that have a shorter battery life. My first impressions are that they sound good, better than my Samsung galaxy buds 2 (non-pro version) but my OP buds 2 have better sound, at least in my opinion and because of how I like to listen to music

      digitalboy i feel you, been using them for a bit now and the battery drains really fast, before i was using the ear 1 which compared to the ear 2 had great battery life. It really feels like a downgrade, also the sound seems a bit worse to me but im probably just trippin.
