Nothing ear (open) Review - 8 things I like, 6 things I don’t

[DoctorDucky]

How would ANC even work for an open ear design? Or why would you even want it in an open ear design? The point is to be able to hear your surroundings better so ANC defeats that feature of the entire design.

[KingPickler]

The whole point of the open ear design is to be able hear what's around

I exclusively use open-ear headphones (SHOKZ, JVC) for normal daily tasks like editing, meetings, YouTube. When I want high-quality or ANC I switch to my Sennheisers, but the open-ear type is perfect for everyday use. I just wish there were a better selection available. It takes a couple of days to get used to them, but once you do, you hardly even notice they’re on.

Better to just say they don't have anc vs you dont like that they don't have anc.. that's the point of these buds is for the users like myself who dont ever use anc.

All his complaints weren't really that big a deal as it was all things common among other earbuds and to be expected is open ear buds.... Buuuut comfort😅 of it's not comfy it's pretty much to me a no go no matter what since how you supposed to wear them for 8 hours straight if it's not comfy

I don't think ANC will ever work on open ear. You might be thinking of semi in ear like Airpods 4 which is still possible.

[jusTTimharry]

So it sits on the ears instead of full in? And there's no ANC?

[BrianHartman]

To be honest, I don't get the attraction to these earbuds.

I"ll actually give Nothing credit for not including ANC on the earbuds. ANC on open ear earbuds always sounded like a gimmick to me, bordering on a scam.

However, they don't have ANC, either, the sound from open ear earbuds is never going to be as good as closed ear earbuds, and, while I respect the fact that they don't have hi res codecs (because again, I think those are a waste on open ear earbuds) they really *should* have wireless charging.

If you made these closed ear earbuds, I think $60 would be a fair price to pay for them, given all they *don't* have. $150 for a pair of earbuds that aren't going to sound as good as $60 earbuds is just insane to me.

UWB is the dumbest feature and no one is using it. Change my mind 🧘‍♂️☕

[niallbell]

Hold on a minute you're complaining about no ANC on this pair of open earbuds? Bro come on now

[GriffithFromBerk]

Fun fact: not everything needs noise cancelling. The two earbuds you keep coping with (AirPods 4 and galaxy buds) aren’t open at all. They *both* still go relatively deep into your ear to give a noise cancellation seal. Plus there’s a $100 difference on top of both brands you mentioned being Apple and Samsung where as nothing is not nearly as big 💀

[omarhogue]

Why would they have noise cancellation when they’re open earbuds? That defeats the purpose.

[GriffithFromBerk]

“Mmm I got some apples but they don’t have noise cancelling so I don’t quite like them”

[__anternio]

Before review and will more comfortable, watch their premier video, it's give the details for this product very well tbh

[jlacsagun]

Why are you looking for active noise cancellation on an open earbuds?

[beyondgoodandbad]

At this point nothing is only relying on the design
