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...

Canada here - definitely less than a minute LOL

Cheetosdust

SteveW Hah, it felt less than a minute here too. At least we are in the same boat. 😃

But there are several reports on Twitter about the “drop” not even appearing in Australia (after customer support said it would) and I’ve read that it was identical in the US (not even the option to buy them).

Here there was definitely the option to buy them, even if for just a few seconds. 😅

But in the tweet @arpan2308 shared, Carl mentions “the coming weeks”, so perhaps we’ll have some news soon.

phearhead That’s true - so far, I don’t think a single Community Member got them after the private sale for the Investors.

Oh yeah, I totally understand the point of the Limited Drop. Especially for a company like Nothing that has utilized “hype culture” to a weaponized degree. It’s just so frustrating when that hype leads to disappointment. My mind is especially boggled by the lack of community members that seem to have been able to get one. I wouldn’t be surprised if several pairs are already popping up on eBay at this point.

My pillow was too good… Trapped me and was not fast enough 😴

Actually I was able to place them in the basket, but in a blink they were gone. Maybe we will get them in 2025? 😅

SteveW Dominic

Same here, I had everything ready, refreshing since a minute before… But no dice, maybe it was a one or ten units drop?

I was going to mention this, I had the impression that Community Members would have Early Access too, maybe not equal to investors, but after them. I guess we interpreted that information wrongly. 😰

I was thinking the same thing. Why the stringent application process for Community members, only for none of us to be able to even enjoy your product until it’s available for the entire planet?

I completely agree with you. Unless the selection of Community Members was yet another side of the hype strategy.

Let’s hope things will shift when all the excitement of the launch, the drops and the novelty decreases.

Cheetosdust

phearhead Perhaps there’s going to be yet another Limited Drop before the open sales start August 17. What makes me believe this is the semantics - Nothing addressed yesterday’s drop as “Limited Drop 1” or “First Limited Drop”.

If this was the only one, I don’t think it was necessary to number it. But again, semantics, hehe. 😆

What was the application process like for joining the Nothing Community? Did you have to apply over email?

Yea pretty much what I expected anyways tbh 😅 let’s see how the next goes I guess 🙂

arpan2308

Someone has streamed the ordering of Ear1 LIVE on youtube…no spoiler 😛

Starts at 22:00

Has anyone (from India) received shipment email yet? Too excited to wait.

arpan2308

specbug

Not till now. Just the link in the SMS which takes to the order confirmation page. The page says they will be sending a text once the order is shipped. Waiting 🙂

Cheetosdust

arpan2308 Many thanks for sharing that detail - I thought that all Investors got an email, so that’s lovely.

For the members who are waiting, I just noticed that the ear (1) product page mentions “Stay tuned for our limited drop coming soon”, so I do think that we’ll get a new chance to order them before August 17 (hopefully the page is not referring to the Limited Drop that already happened, hah).

Fingers crossed.

Looks like another limited drop is on cards

HeroeSpiN

Regarding the status of my order, it says “unfulfilled” since Saturday

WilliamZimmer

Quite sad that we could order on July 27th, but the orders still haven’t been shipped… And i see a lot of “influencers” receiving theirs today… i honestly thought Nothing would care more and make us wait less. We’re around 400-500 investors on Crowdcube right ? As not all of us ordered, is it really a lot of units to ship ? :/

arpan2308

WilliamZimmer

I doubt anyone has got it post the launch. All the influencers / youtubers got the review units before the launch event, so that they can test it properly and upload their review on 29th July (Post embargo). I believe that was a good strategy to build & maintain the hype for more number of days, than just the launch day. I think investors should get the shipments over next few weeks, before the open sale. I know the excitement can turn into frustration anytime but hold it tight 😄

Cheetosdust

WilliamZimmer Perhaps the Investors’ orders are going to be shipped at the same time as the units from the first Limited Drop? Hope you can see some movement in your account soon.

Bass Oh wow, I believe you are the first member of the Community to receive the ear (1), congratulations. But how are your first impressions? We all saw the reviews, but please do tell us more about your experience with them so far. 🥳

arpan2308 Many thanks for sharing the screenshot. That gives me even more hope for a second Limited Drop before August 17. Fingers crossed we’ll have more stock this time. 😎

RUTHVIK If you want my advice: do not cancel your order just yet. You are already in line to get yours and you don’t know how it’s going to be when the open sales start, be it Flipkart or in any other retailer. Just wait a little longer and check how your order is going to be dealt with.

About the support, I mean, I believe you can imagine how busy they must be at the moment. However, please do share any updates you have about the support contacting you or the shipment of your order. 😉

WilliamZimmer

arpan2308 Thankfully i got the chance to see the Ear 1, but some investors didn’t, so they might be frustrated to wait for this long. And yes, some influencers just received theirs today 🙂 they didn’t all receive the buds before the launch, some are still being delivered

Bass

I bought a pair on StockX, and also (of course) my pair from the early investor access. I live in Sweden and got my StockX delivered today by DHL. But still no update on shipping details from the ones bought las Tuesday.

I love limited editions, and I cant decide whether or not I´m gonna open these up, or wait for my ordinary ones 🙂 Anybody else got their product yet?

RUTHVIK

Can anyone help me in cancelling the order here @David

Because it seems bit late and I don’t expect it would reach by the time of sale . Yet not confirmed the dispatch status and I think it would take a week more to dispatch and we would receive them on the sale date I expect . I get it delivered in one to two days in Flipkart . Also when I asked this about Nothing India support, they told me they would inform about it in 24hours , but there is no response .😑😑

RUTHVIK

Bro it might take little time. Please wait for it. It says 2 weeks from the date you ordered. That’s 10th August. You’ll definitely get it before anyone else. If you still don’t want it then forward it to me. I’ll have it. I have full faith in the brand.

Have you tried to contact the official support through this form? I think that is better than posting a message in the middle of a thread that can get lost very easily, and you may have better chances of getting a quick reply.

Though, as @Cheetosdust mentioned already, I think you should give the situation a little patience, even if the product ships this week and you receive it the next one, you will still be among the first ones receiving it! If you wait for Flipkart, maybe the order won’t arrive until the end of August, or later.

Bass

I admire your mental control not to rip that external cardboard to see the product! I don’t think I would be able to contemplate a box without opening it, knowing how reduced the number of people that actually have the earphones is.

I would love to know more about your perspective towards limited edition products. Are you going to place the box in a special place? Do you have other limited editions?

These questions are just to know more, collecting is something that is not part of my personality, so I am purely curious about it . Of course, I understand if you don’t want to reply! 🤓

David

tdm we are building up the system to be able to reply to support enquirires on social media, this should be deployed in August.

From what I can see you sent a message to our Customer Support team yesterday at 18:49h (UK time) and you received a response at 19:58h (UK time). Did you try contacting us via another channel/e-mail address?

vikas hi Vikas, thanks for reporting this, we are looking into this.

RUTHVIK did you try messaging the Customer Service team to cancel the order? They can do it for you.
