Dominic

Nothing ear (1) will be unveiled on 27 July at 14:00 BST.

Marques Brownlee received a package from Nothing. It contained a glass object with a QR code linking to this website: https://nothing.tech/pages/soundwave

The welcome screen of nothing.tech has changed with a countdown:

Nothing has also Tweeted the following:

An email was sent out as well.

Nice to see that the time for Nothing is arriving. 😄

The MKHD invite looks really cool. 😍

Great news, even before the launch day arrives, I cannot wait to see what the company will do during July.

And about the invite, it seems SuperSaf also got one and you can see exactly how limited they are: his is 7 of 50.

MKBHD has the 1 of 50. 😎

This is soooooooooooooo dope!!!! I wonder if there is a hidden message in the Soundwave…

[deleted]

Wissou I think it is the message “Nothing ear (1) coming on 27 July”. When Marques scans the QR code in his tweet, you can see the words appearing at the same time as the sound wave is played.

The waveform image online isn’t a high enough resolution to extract anything meaningful sadly…I was hoping for an early easter egg!

Patrick Feaster had a go at extracting audio from the image and came up with this: https://octaverter.com/audio/img_0long2-pvl-1.wav

Any guesses, haha?

Niice! As an investor I am super curious

OMG that is so cool. If there’s one thing @Carl knows how to do, it’s get people excited about product launches lol. Let’s goooooo!!!!

Kastello

Such “merch” is super cool, shame that we’re not able to get one too 😃

But I look forward how the design of the ear1 will be 😄

So excited, can’t wait!

Nothing just retweeted a message posted by Unbox Therapy on Twitter.

“This one’s different”, it was written on the message you can read here.

More interestingly, you can also see the image that’s attached to this post.

Question is: do you have any guesses what it can be? 🤓

I have to say, looking at this for too long has made my brain hurt…looks like some kind of textured paper/card material in the background…are we looking at a transparent case?

scarbo

This is how it looks with inverted colors and a -90° rotation. It looks like a mirror that on the right side, maybe just in order to enhance transparency and to disguise the rest better. So, what’s the rest? It could either be a sort of internal part of a earbud, or just a sketch that emphasizes transparency (Nothing’s trademark) and audio (Teenage Engineering’s trademark) in what seems to be an audio amplifier - two knobs included - in the center-right part of the image.

I’m assuming the invite is made out of the same material as the ear1’s. He knocks it on the table. It sounds sturdy. Its REALLY CLEAR lol. This is going to be cool

With some of the community drivers (MKBHD and UnboxTherapy) receiving the invites and potentially products in the mail, I am hoping that we will see reviews after the reveal and hopefully prior to commercial launch. Only time will tell!

My best bet is that there’s going to be an embargo set for July 27 when the official presentation ends. Maybe the first units were sent with that marketing material, but they are still under NDA.

Perhaps the NDA stipulates two embargoes: one for first impressions and a second one for full-fledged reviews closer to when the sales actually start (assuming they don’t start on the same day). But we’ll soon find out, hehe.
