I really love the case design, I’d love to hear the sound and hopefully the ANC will be great and with a flat sound signature
🔴LIVE Reaction Thread: ear (1) Unveiling
The blue is still a part of the brand identity so I’m sure we’ll see it somewhere on a future product.
It was great to see that the USB cable did indeed receive the Nothing treatment! The packaging too was so well-considered, you can see so clearly that a lot of care has gone into every element of this product, right down to the documentation on the black card.
I can’t wait to get my hands on them!
I wonder when the first reviews are uploaded to YouTube by creators that already received it.
Any info about any “low latency” mode? Also, will Ear(1) support Aptx?
Am I the only one who noticed how Tom Howard, Head of Design, ate those chips?
He was so hungry, he even opened the bag upside down (loved that moment). 
Same for me in sweden! How ever “within” hopefully means a lot faster 
What time does the embargo end? I’m looking forward to MKBHD’s review.
I think there is no aptX HD or aptX Adaptive, and that’s quite sad. I wonder if the latency will be good in some situations
I want to say thanks the team for an amazing launch event. 
I feel so grateful that I took the chance and invested, even if it just was a small amount and I’m just a small, small lego in the big Nothing lego fortress I’m very happy.
The design and pr team have done an amazing job. Can we all just take a moment and watch the beautiful video of ear (1) and the white grasshopper. I think I have watched that video at least 20 times now, WOW! So well done.
And the website is phenomenal too, it’s so simple and minimalistic. But so good and so high quality. And the weird, at first site ugly blue bar at the bottom, also looks super neat for some reason. That old retro design feels suddenly so modern and refreshing.
Thank you for a good event, a well designed product and a well designed brand. Extra proud over Teenage engineering and the other Swedish friends here in Sweden. Thanks.
Same for me in India. Hopefully they’ll send before that, otherwise there’s no early access for investors since it’ll be near the public sales on 17th August in India.

A great in-depth interview here with Carl and Tom Howard: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/nothing-ear-1-headphones-design
If you have a question about ear (1), it’s probably covered in this article!
aravind It was not mentioned when the embargo is going to be lifted, however, in the news The Verge posted about the event, it is mentioned that “we’ll have a full review of the Ear (1) earbuds coming soon”.
vikas It’s like @Bass mentioned, “within” doesn’t necessarily mean that they are going to be sent two weeks from when you ordered them.
And about the open sales, I believe that a lot of people will see an identical message - if not with an even bigger timeframe - when they start. I think you did the best you could do, since your order is now on queue.

Many thanks for sharing the link, I do love to read the Wired, so I am going to give it a go soon.

Regarding to a few german sites, they seem to have all the same problem (at least in germany). Their ear 1 is atm stuck at the german customs and they will start reviewing it once they get them.
I’m hoping for the same as well. But 2 weeks is a big time frame. For people in some countries, its 3-4 days, so hopefully they’ll send it within a week.
