Nothing, the London-based consumer technology brand, has announced a new black variant for its Hi-Res Audio certified and noise-cancellation earbuds, Ear (2). It comes alongside new audio updates on the Nothing X app including an Advanced Equaliser for Ear (2) and Ear (stick). Also, a Noise Reduction feature just for Ear (stick).
Ear (2) Black
Ear (2) boasts Hi-Res Audio certification and LHDC 5.0 technology. The earbuds feature an 11.6 mm custom driver with a new dual chamber design which aims to enhance overall sound quality with smoother airflow. Ear (2) also features Dual Connection for easy device switching, Personal Sound Profile for personalisation, improved wind-proof and crowd-proof Clear Voice Technology, and Personalised Active Noise Cancellation that adapts to the unique shape of your ear canal.
The new black colourway comes after Ear (2) recently won the Red Dot Design Award and features a new smoky and matte black finish. Ear (2) black is available now via a limited drop on Nothing.tech and will be more widely available from 21 July.
New Nothing X feature: Advanced Equaliser
Ear (2) and Ear (stick) users can now enjoy the new Advanced Equaliser to customise sound with a higher level of precision. This new advanced equaliser offers an intuitive and simple graphical interface. It allows a deep level of customisation through a parametric 8-band equaliser with a real-time preview of the changes, the full Q factor, and frequency control. Available via the Nothing X app, this new feature will also let users share their EQ profile or download others through a QR code.
New Nothing X feature: Noise Reduction
Nothing has also introduced a Noise Reduction for Ear (stick) to enable users to attenuate ambient noises and enjoy music on a deeper level. With a half in-ear design, Ear (stick) has been designed for all-day comfort and features a unique charging case inspired by classic cosmetic silhouettes. Noise Reduction brings further comfort to the listening experience. To access this new feature, users can go to the Settings in the Nothing X app.
