Discover the New Blue Ear (open) from Nothing
Nothing, a London-based consumer technology brand, has just launched a new color option for its revolutionary open wearable stereo earbuds, the Ear (open), on May 14. Known for their promise of a featherlight experience as if you’re wearing nothing at all, these earbuds now come in an appealing blue.
A Bold Shade of Blue
The new blue color draws inspiration from previous Nothing devices such as the Phone (3a) and Phone (4a). Designed to resonate with sports activities, the shade captures the vibe of blue tennis courts, training equipment, and even retro futuristic home designs and transparent sculptures by artist De Wain Valentine. The blue seamlessly integrates into the unique form of the Ear (open) while complementing other products by Nothing.
Featherlight Comfort
Weighing just 8.1 grams per earbud, the Ear (open) provides a level of comfort that feels almost nonexistent during intense workouts like running or HIIT, making them suitable for daily commuting as well. The see-through design highlights Nothing's signature craftsmanship, showing off the elegant internal structure. Its slim charging case is only 19mm thick, making it easy to carry along wherever you go.
Open Sound Technology
Equipped with Nothing’s proprietary Open Sound Technology, the Ear (open) delivers a listening experience that keeps you aware of your surroundings while enjoying your favorite tunes. You can hear approaching cars, station announcements, and treadmill notifications without the need to pause your music. This feature enhances safety and connectivity in your daily activities.
Also, with sound-sealing technology and a directional speaker design, the earbuds minimize sound leakage while providing an impressively balanced sound profile.
All-Day Comfort
Designed for extended wear, the Ear (open) guarantees comfort throughout the day. With ear hooks made from skin-friendly and durable silicone, the earbuds boast a triangular structure that provides three-point support for a secure fit during running or cycling.
Evolved Sound Performance
Developed to minimize distortion while enhancing bass clarity, the dedicated diaphragm uses titanium coating to lighten the driver’s weight. Enjoy powerful and precise sound reproduction, with a built-in bass enhancement algorithm that deepens the lows in real-time, ensuring crystal-clear highs.
The drivers are about 30% lighter than typical earbuds, improving mid-range performance by as much as 3dB. The design angles the speaker at 50 degrees, allowing you to immerse yourself comfortably in the music.
Impressive Battery Life
The Ear (open) provides up to 30 hours of playback time when combined with the charging case. This runtime can last a sub-4 runner through seven marathons! Plus, with fast charging capabilities, just 10 minutes of charging offers an impressive 10 hours of playback.
Exceptional Connectivity
Utilizing built-in Clear Voice technology, the earbuds feature AI that reduces noise from cars, trains, and wind, ensuring crystal-clear calls. Dual connectivity makes seamless switching between devices possible, and the low latency mode minimizes any audio lag during workouts.
The IP54 rating protects against dust and splashes, having passed a sweat test for 48 hours in conditions of 55 degrees Celsius and 95% humidity. The earbuds incorporate aerospace-grade nickel-titanium wire for durable flexibility over time.
Customized Listening with the Nothing X App
The Ear (open) supports the Nothing X app, allowing users to adjust bass, treble, and vocal levels, alongside presets created by the Nothing community. For those who wish for fine-tuning, an eight-band equalizer is available. Connecting to Nothing OS devices unlocks access to ChatGPT to enhance the experience through voice commands.

The new blue Ear (open) is priced at ¥19,800 (tax included) and is available starting May 14 at nothing.tech.
