Nothing Ear (a) could be the best sub-€100 earbuds on the market The Nothing Ear (a) is going to be pretty similar to the Nothing Ear, with the big differences being the waterproof rating and the battery life. So we’re still looking at dual connection, Active Noise Cancellation, and quick charging to get you 10 hours of playback in just 10 minutes.
On the battery life front, you’ll get eight hours of playback with ANC off, and the case will get you 38 hours of playback total. The buds are going to have a waterproof rating of IP54, while the case will get a IP55 rating. All of this for just €100.
Is this better than most other earbuds? I’ve had 2 pair total and have honestly never had a use case for more than 3-4 hours at a time before returning them to the case. But they never sit around not in the case. So I can’t really tell what their charge time is.
