Review: Ear (2) buds from Nothing feature strong audio but are weak on noise canceling
versions of the Nothing X app are identical, and it facilitates multi-device Bluetooth connections and the ability to customize the controls found on the buds’ stalks.After installing the Nothing X app, setup is similar to Apple’s AirPods and other modern Bluetooth devices. Launch the app, open the Ear case and the phone pairs with the earbuds. You won’t have to go into your iPhone or Android’s Bluetooth settings at all.
You can start using the earbuds from there, but you’ll want to do two more tests. The Ear has separate routines for customizing the soundstage and Active Noise Cancellation.The former uses a built-in version of Mimi, the popular hearing test app I mentioned in last week’s review. Interestingly, the test asks your age before starting the test. I’m in my mid-60s but my hearing is very good, and the test may have created a sound profile that presumed high-end hearing loss.
That said, the Ear buds do have a very “bright” treble. I was happier with the bass preset on all the time. Songs like Meshell Ndegeocello’s “If That’s Your Boyfriend ” that feature a heavy bass but still push the high end, sound great on these buds.The Active Noise Cancellation is the Ear ’s biggest disappointment. Of all the mid-priced earbuds I’ve tried over the past year, the Ear has the weakest ANC. I prefer to think of it as ANM — Active Noise Muffling.
