Nothing Ear (a) battery draining issue

Hi everyone, I’ve been using the Nothing Ear (a) since I bought them in June 2024, and only recently (around late July 2025) I started noticing some battery problems. 1. Both earbuds only last about an hour now. 2. The left earbud drains much faster than the right one. 3. They also don’t charge to 100% — when I take them out of the fully charged case, they usually start at around 85%. I reached out to the Nothing service center here in Malaysia, but they only cover devices still under warranty, so they decline to fix my nothing ear a. I reached out to Nothing Support on X, and say that they have forwarded the case to relevant team but since then they completely ignore my message to them. Do nothing devices only last a year? Consider I bought the ear a at launch at full price and it only last a year and nothing decline to solve the issue.

Truly disappointed with their product. 3rd generation of ear product yet the built quality is bad

Same here. I purchased them November 2024 and it’s only charging up to 80% and dies in 2-3 hours, with noise cancellation/transparency OFF. Insane battery health drop. Used to last me much more than that with noise cancelling.

Same here, battery drop crazy fast and shut off on right side bud, while left side remained 60%.

First time owned nothing product and left me huge disappointment. No more nothing for me.

Same with me, it’s still under one year of use, but now the battery one last for 30 min less, so disappointed with Nothing product, as is my first nothing device, I def will not get another nothing products again.

I’m so disappointed that the product didn’t even last two years feels like waste of money

Same problem here. When I bought them new, as soon as I paired them I’ve noticed that the right one is at 85% while left one is at 100%. “Strange” - I thought but I hoped that the first full charge will set them to equal battery (which didn’t happen). Now after my training right bud is 10% while left one is 50%. What a trash. That is my second audio product from Nothing and it will be the last.

Same issue. I’m never buying Nothing product again. Warranty is over after 12 months. Afterwards I’m getting battery issues. Nothing came will do nothing about it. Worst costumer care service. In my IT field, I’m telling everyone not to buy.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with the Nothing Ear (a). Despite paying a premium price of ₹5,999, the product has failed to meet even 1% of my expectations.

My original unit was replaced by the service center due to defects, yet the brand-new replacement unit has developed the exact same issue. Now that the device is out of warranty, I am left with a non-functional product. I expected premium quality and reliability from Nothing, but this has been a waste of both time and money.

It happened to me yesterday. It happened to me yesterday. My battery has been draining quickly lately.
