London-based tech brand Nothing today announced its latest wireless earbuds — Nothing Ear (2). Ear (2) is the company’s third member of wireless earbuds, which is also the direct successor to Ear (1).
The Nothing Ear (2) comes with the LHDC 5.0 audio codec support that enables Hi-Res audio, transmitting frequencies up to 24-bit/192kHz at speeds of up to 1Mbps. It features an 11.6 mm dynamic driver with a custom diaphragm with the redesigned combination of polyurethane and graphene materials that delivers even richer high frequencies and deeper, softer bass. The unique dual-chamber design also creates a larger space for smoother airflow and even clearer sound.
Ear (2) also offers Nothing’s best noise cancellation technology yet, achieving up to 40dB of noise reduction. With Personalized Active Noise Cancellation tailored to the exact shape of a user’s ear canal and an Adaptive Mode that automatically adjusts the noise reduction level based on your environment in real time, Ear (2) provides the optimal noise cancellation experience. It also comes with Clear Voice Technology and Dual Connection.
According to Nothing, Ear (2) can deliver up to 36 hours of music playback after a full charge of the charging case (with ANC turned off). With fast charging, it can deliver up to 8 hours on a 10-minute charge. Ear (2) also supports wireless charging up to 2.5W and can reverse charge on compatible devices like the Nothing Phone (1). It is also built to withstand everyday needs with an IP54 water-resistance rating for its earbuds, while the charging case is IP55 for extra peace of mind.
The Nothing Ear (2) will be priced at RM599 and will be available first on Crossover starting on 23 March at 12 am. From 8 April, Ear (2) will go on general sale across all stores of Nothing’s partners in Malaysia both online and offline, including flagship e-commerce stores on Lazada and Shopee.
