The Nothing Ear 1s are $99 wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation. They are the first product from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei’s Nothing tech startup — and where their design excels, their function falls flat.

What should Nothing make next?
For 100$ not sure what all the complaints are about
Can we use this with iPhone? And if yes can we answer call with the touch ?
A few months later, how are the bugs?
I have nothing ear for over a month now they are just amazing. I have use Jabra and Apple wireless buds . These beat each of them . At a price point that is low. So I don’t see why you are nitpicking.
case looks so cheap, like the case for ear buds you buy at the dollar tree
I’m a nothing ear 1 user on my iphone 12 and wow she really explained the ear1 well. It’s just an average earphone nothing spectacular for the price maybe the design is somewhat exclusive and stands outs a lot, ppl will recognise this earphones..
I’m buying these. Have seen many reviews and not a single bad one about their quality. They generally only lose to products 2 to 3 times the price and some say that they soundbevem better. I don’t know about the hype actually I see the reviewers talk about the hype but I don’t see it in any places than youtube.
Yo Bud, A followup video would be good considering the updates they have been sending to the buds
Best earbuds for the price
Wow why the hate? UNSUBSCRIBING!
1:47 You can use a fine car polish and remove most of the scratches.
The ear one have better mics than the airbuds pro
I love them! ❤
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro supports multi-point, and even better, each bud can be used independently (unlike Jabra, only the right one can be used independently)
I have airpod pros, Sony XM3’s, Sennheisers, momentum 2’s, Galaxy buds pro and Galaxy buds live Nothing Ear (1)‘s sound amazing, they are worth every penny and all the hype. I have no problem with the controls and the new black ones look awesome. You cannot go wrong with these earbuds for 100 bucks.
I never saw any hype.… only people that say they dont live up to it
if you really want to get great sound even for a high price you don’t buy earbuds but headphones
Anybody else sick of “nothing” jokes?
I think this was one of the best review videos i ever saw.
I just got these earphones the noise cancellation is a 3/10 expected something more like 6/10. Sound was ok. Overall solid earphones.
Just bought mine today before work. Hade them in all day whit out a hick-up. Forgot i even hade them in (one at the time) they are not bad, for the price they are very good.
Sound quality is key, and these have to the best out there. Don’t forget…$99
strip away some paint? i wonder if it’s that easy
Does the review change at all with the November 2021 firmware update?
I can’t wait till my black ones show up.
Those are the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Just finally got mine today, these things are absolutely amazing!!! Hard to believe they’re so cheap. Totally blow my Pixel Buds away that costed almost twice as much.
👦🏻“i think We need an Update video to these earBuds!”🧠
Too bad already bought it.
I could hear the water the same with the air pods vs the nothing buds.
Good. Airpod seems the worst in ANC.
great review! got one on Sudios?
They sound great, better than the standard airpods. They work flawlessly for me and I like the sound.
Verge is quite partial to Apple. The off-sided dimple is useful to be used in the dark. They are much better than my airpods which just drop off my ears and sound much worse. I’ve also got the airpods pro and I prefer the nothing’s sound signature over the airpods pro esp the bass. The only thing the airpods pro is better is the ANC.
I use it with foam ear tips which make it much more comfortable.
I like this guy, he knows what he’s talking about, very knowledgeable 🤟🏼
best buy for this price. If money isn’t a constraint, of course other options look more promising. I’m using Nothing for a few months already an bought another pair just for the office. my only complaint is the microphone quality, it’s fine but not the best.
Do wireless earbuds last long in general, compared to wireless neckbands and headphones? If I want my earphones to last for 4–5 years, then should I buy wireless earbuds?
The nothing ear (1) is selling for 64usd in India on flipkart. Should I buy it now?
pretty bad with the connection issues to this day
The Sony WF1000mx4 have awful out of the box treble frequency response lol. I didn’t like them
You should mention to your viewers that the latest firmware update for the Nothing Ear(1) completely bricks these buds… And i know that , because i just lost $100 on these buds doing just that .…
thanks.… for being honest
i bought it today … sounds good, feels good but the battery and ANC are not that great
Very nice review
Great review! Which is better, the nothing ear or liberty air 2 pro? I can buy both at the same price
Glad I’m not the only one having problems with the in ear detection and therefore problems with touch control sometimes. They’re still great value tho.
One little thing: you were complaining a bit about scratches but it looked like you didn’t remove the protection foil that picks up more scratches that the actual case
Edit: I just swapped the medium plugs with the small ones and the in ear detection works perfectly
And they still fit just as good
I love how excited she gets about mic tests
Apple hit the nail on this test… Wish it was better, as I really wanna see Carl Pei give Apple a run for their money.
Nothing Ear buds are the smartest in terms of marketing and design. Trying to bridge the gap in lack of quality and early adopter pitfalls. No doubt with further iterations Nothing’s ear buds will be on par with competitors but those will brandish a heftier price tag as the marketing hype and interests feeds forward. A clever strategy to become defacto ‘against the grain’ brand but without real technical substance. Ironically the opposite of One Plus’s meteoric rise where the aggressive price point did deliver some amazing flagship beating tech.
I wonder how long Carl Pei can keep peddling the ‘different’ but the same mantra.
They actually sound much better than Airpods pro 1 with much lower price .Check other reviews.
Clean cinematography. What was this shot on?
