UPDATE - May 6th: Firmware 1.01.43. The transparency mode has been improved on the Ear. There is less occlusion so you own voice when you speak sounds more natural. Distant sounds have been enhanced but nearby voices are still the same if not slightly worse. Overall it is still better and I'm now scoring them a 7.5 out of 10. I just released a video on this as well: ruclips.net/video/i3iiSNvVcp8/видео.html
Small error with codecs. The Ear (2) does NOT have LDAC. That is all 👋
Don’t you think the soundcore liberty 4nc have better ANC than Nothing ear??
The naming scheme is confusing. They had the Nothing Ear (1) and Nothing Ear (2) then back to Nothing Ear. Whyyy
Sheesh. Stop y’all need to stop complaining about the name, y’all know it’s the new one
it's a marketing suicide
this could possibly be the last earbuds from Nothing for a few years while they make the mark in other domains.
Because they failed to be special in a silly way.
Who cares.
You got this review up so quick, I can't help to admire your work. You really express the details a consumer seeks to hear. It's amazing how you able to outline all the important factors, one considers before buying or just comparing earbuds. Keep up the great content.
Another RUclipsr was just critiquing audio reviewers' creditability, and while he bashed others, he named you a top trusted source. It was really dope when I heard that, you for sure deserve the recognition. Stay pickyyy!!!
I really appreciate it! 🙌
@@pickyaudioI don’t got lot of time which one is the best for base budget 200 or 250
@@mrrockets32 OnePlus buds pro 2. Killing Everything and I own a collection..
I have come to the conclusion too ..the only thing that matters is the tuning of the earbud and the quality of the music file .. if you have 24bit track playing on a decent android phone and the earbud is tuned nice .. anything from AAC is enough . between AAC - AptX or LDAC is a very small difference most people can't even hear anyways ..unless you have triained ears or experience using premium headphones
100% agree
Great review. Thanks for your time in testing. Really appreciate you
Thanks and I appreciate you!
For 5 months your videos have been very complete. Congratulations. Thanks for the effort
Thank you! That's been my aim
what a review ! I love it when the youtube algorithm works
grate channel also !
May have to level up to one of these sets as I use the CMF Buds and thoroughly enjoy the fit, sound quality, app features and controls. Thx and please keep up these superb comparisons!!
This was a great video, thanks for posting. Actually really informative, and while I get that the rankings are subjective, that's exactly what I'm looking for when I am searching for a review, I don't want to get tangled in complex graphs, comparing earbuds to one another is a great way of doing things.
Thanks! I'm glad you find my system helpful
Really appreciate all the work you put in, your reviews are great and very informative! I am curious though....how come all the buds you have tested and rated aren't on the spreadsheet? I have the Sony Linkbuds S and it would be awesome to be able to compare them and see where they stack up to other buds in categories that are most important to me and my personal listening situations/habits.
Great review! This is looking like a solid upgrade.
Cheers!
the announcement just finished and you’re already reviewing it that’s crazy🤣
I’m quick
Where's the new open earbuds???
I expect that he has had it for a while to try it out, but he is forbidden from announcing anything, and after announcing it, the company gives him and the others the right to review it at a specific time.🤓
@@MML66That's just how it works usually. It's the same as smartphone reviews for these big tech companies.
@@pickyaudio "I'm quick" - thats what SHE said xD
Thank you for another awesome review and comparison, Picky! 👍
Thank you!
sir... you do great reviews... congratz. Totally subbed
Nice video, i would like to see a review about the Xiaomi buds 4 Pro would be nice, keep up the good work 👌
On ya' James I had a feeling you'd be amongst the first in Australia to review these Buds. I'll be sure to pick up a pair of the Ear as for just $50 more to the A's it's a solid investment.
Thanks mate 👍
Cheers! I'm thankful they sent me out a pair early. I think the extra $50 is worth it as well
I went from very basic buds to the Ear a couple of weeks ago and i have to say im delighted
Thanks again for the balanced non-hype train review! I struggled with the nothing ear 2 case but otherwise thought they were great
Great review, Thanks! I will give the new Nothing Ear a try.
No worries! I hope you enjoy them
"I just like to plug things in", me too..
Nothing Ear 2 has the best mic quality of the 3 earbuds
Just got two Ears for me and my girl based off this review. I really appreciate the work you put in this. Got em in the mail today ☺️
No worries! I hope you both enjoy the buds 👍
Just what i needed before pre-order. Thanks for the quick review :) The Nothing Ear is the winner here altough I really wanted the Ear(a) to be a little better with custom eq...
Same, I have AirPods Pro 2 but I just want better sound and design, hope they hold up with my iPhone
@@davevayn They work as good on iPhone as they do on android. I mainly use mine on my 15 Pro
No worries! Yea it would have been nice but I think they had to differentiate from the Ear so they're not too similar
Yeah can’t wait for mine and to hear that rich sound. I’ve got the same phone.
Thank you indeed for your astonishing production. But honestly we need your consultation with the following. In case the highest priority is for phone calls on the move with the portability of the buds for daily work, I agree with you that "nothing ear" is just perfect for phone calls, but the absence of a hook makes it harder for daily working lifestyle, especially if we need to keep a single bud in pocket after using, and then place it on ear to immediately catch a call without getting back to a case. I checked your other video for the open ear ones (which has a hook on the ear) but phone calls quality are far less comparing to "nothing ear". So what do you recommend?
Thanks! I haven’t tested many hook style in ear buds but the Soundcore Sport X10 has solid call quality 8/10. It looks like a new version is coming out soon as well so could be even better
That was perfect. The point system, was genius. The spreadsheet, you beautiful nerd. Lovely work.
haha I'm glad you like it!
I love Nothing Ear (2) but since I use my earbuds for eight hours at a time the battery life was definitely an issue and prevented them from being my daily driver. Thanks for a great review. I might consider picking the Nothing Ear up.
you should use the ear2 in SBC mode only then. LHDC kills the battery almost twice as fast.
@@cuerex8580 I've tried it. I get about 3 solid hours. I'm on phone calls, Zoom calls... I think that really kills the battery as well.
Thanks! Not quite 8 hours but hey at least it has been improved
I’d love your opinion on the OnePlus Buds 3 vs Nothing Ear. I’m so conflicted between the two, after watching two of your videos.
Hey man, really appreciate the review. I currently use the Google Pixel Buds Pro for Teams calls, and have issues with people being able to hear most background noise. It seems like the new Nothing Ear earphones are a step above an already-great set of earphones, especially for muting out background noise on calls. Think I'll be pulling the trigger very soon!
Cheers! Yep they should work better 👍
Nicely reviewed.. But can you make a specific comparison video on Nothing Ear vs. Oneplus Buds Pro 2
Subscribed because of the uploading speed
Thanks! You can thank Nothing for sending me the buds early!
Nothing has been hitting it out of the park lately and I'm so here for it! Although I wish they just called these the ear(3) and ear(3a) instead.
buds 3 are better than the 3a and they're cheaper
I'm here for it as well! Love their products and transparency
Great review ! I've got the nothing Ear 2 and they have been amazing thus far. The naming of the new products is confusing, is it worth an upgrade though?
Thanks! If you're having no issues with the Ear 2 then It's not worth upgrading
picky, I've been loving my soundpeats truefree 2 for as long as I brought it but recently the rubber turns soft and i broke it and was scared that water might get in. Was wondering if you could review the realme buds air 5 pro! Been noticing its crazy specs!
Love the reviews you should check out the Cambridge Melomania M100, I've heard a lot of good things and would like to see how you rate them compared to the rest.
My oneplus 3 buds get here today. I ordered them thanks to your videos.
Still the best under $100!
Hey Picky bro. Hope u have an great day. What are difference between the Soundcore space a40 and Liberty 4 nc?
Hey Picky, from the vid and comments, you rate the OPB3 > Ear(a) but the Ear > OPB3. Is this purely due to the Advanced EQ feature in the Ear?
Apart from LHDC and ceramics, is there any other reason the Ear is > OPB3 but the Ear(a) isn't? or is it just the advanced EQ that makes the Ear score higher?
Right now I have the airpods 2 Gen . And I need an Upgrade . I think I will Go with the nothing ear. Your Video helped me alot to decide .
Glad I could help!
I just bought the OnePlus Buds 3 after watching a video on this channel, and now I'm interested in these earbuds. I'm a fan of sub-bass, do you recommend these Nothing earbuds?
Which one is the best in-ear buds? I have a Galaxy buds 2 but it's very hard to work out while wearing.
I'm considering pixel buds but out of my budget.
Please review the new Fairbuds if you can. It's great to have earbuds that are non-disposable, with replaceable batteries. But I'm wondering about their performance.
Anc is still subpar then for headsets in the 150usd mark right?
Have you tested the Realme buds Air 5 pro? Are they the best in that price range?
Nice work as usual thank you. How does the Nothing Ear stack up to the One+ Buds Pro 2 in sound quality is it close? Thanks again. 💯🔥🔥🇺🇸
Cheers Mike! Stock tuning the Ear is better if you like a more balanced sound. Pro 2 more v shaped. The base tuning on the Ear though gives you better freedom to customise the sound to your liking.
@@pickyaudio thank you my friend appreciate it. 💯🇺🇸
Picky, thank you for the good videos every time. Only your comparison video is perfect for me.
Speaking of which, I have a question. My phone is iphone13pro, do you prefer jabraelite 10 or the new nothing ear? As someone who used both of them, what would you use if you just compared them to each other?
No worries I’m glad they help! I would personally go for the Ear I prefer the sound, most features are very close and they’re cheaper
@@pickyaudio Always thanks! I enjoy watching yours 👍 in 🇰🇷
Hey Picky! Is better detail and instrument separation what makes them beat OnePlus Buds Pro 2? Something else?
My galaxy buds2 went through the washing machine so need to be replaced. Think ill get these non (a) version. Squeeze button will be great vs capacitive touch since i used to always have them randomly pausing if i was out in the rain or wearing a hood.
I might consider the nothing ear, but my Oppo Enco X2 is still running great after 2 years. Too bad the enco x2 never reached the states, the only way to get them is direct from china. I would love to see more reviewers picking it up and see how it compares with newer releases.
Would love to see how they compare with Realme Air 5 Pro 😍
Super helpful review
Do you have any plan to review newly launched Cambridge melolania M100 earbuds ?
professional review. thank you for your video. from korea🇰🇷
Thanks for watching!
How much of a difference is there between the Nothing Ear and the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC in terms of noise cancelling. Thinking of getting the ear but NC is quite important for me
Hey, what's better Nothing Ear(a) or Sennheiser Momentum 3
if they sell for the same price? Which one to get?
Soundcore space one vs Nothing ear. Which one’s better my priority being ANC and sound quality. Price difference is not that much which one I should get?
Great review.So I was confused between qcy ht07 or ht05 and moon drop space travel.Can you tell me the better choice for the best sound.
Cheers! Space
I have noticed that in my S24 Ultra's Developer Options, you cannot change to the Codec your buds offer but, your phone auto switches or turns these options On for you when connected.
may i ask what is the mode of the noise cancellation with your earbuds during the call quality test? I found my ear2 sometimes mute my voice during call? cheers!
That shirt! YES!
Thank you very much picky for you videos and your answer I hope you to tell me what is the best earbuds with more true accurate audio or true accurate sound thank you very much
Cheers! Technics AZ80 are my best pick
ear (a) mic is amazing wow
Hey could you review the fairphone buds? I wish to buy them because of their easy repairability and i wanna know what do they sound like alongside their NC, thanks!
I'll keep it in mind, cheers
Afternoon mate, is there any reason you haven't reviewed the Devialet Gemini 2's? I recently got them and they are the best sounding ear buds I have tried. I had the Denon's before, but on of the buds died and I bought the Devialet's with the refund money. You should give them a go, they are incredible little things.
I keen to they're just too expensive. Iv'e been trying to get in contact with Devialet but no luck
Who is the best at isolating noise? Nothing liberty 4 nc
Yellow🤦♂️ I hope there are other options like black
On a smartphone about call quality with Bluetooth earsbuds has any difference between bluetooth 5.0 and 5.4?
You should try the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3. One of the most competitive earbuds in the market. 👍
Should i wait for Pixel buds pro 2 or go for Ear?
once you equalize the ear(a), do they sound as good as the ear?
Hello brother i need your opinion please. I am not big fun for edifier x2 sound quality but i love the wide open sound stage and i want to upgrade to same half in ear wide open sound but with better sound quality.
The call quality sounds better in Nothing Ear (2) compared to Nothing Ear.
yeah but the nothing ear 2 won't work on your bike that way. i tried it.
@@cuerex8580 what do you mean? just asking :)
Just a software issue. Mics are the same.
Dude what happend to the JBL Live Pro 2? 😢 I bought them with based on a few really good reviews inc yours (we can't test before we buy in LK anymore), now they aren't even in the list (though I totally love them)!
I reviewed them well before I started this scoring system. They're are still a lot of older buds that I just haven't had the chance the add yet as it takes a decent amount of time.
Nice scoop mate, great review!!
Cheers mate!
Congrats on the vid. Gonna have to order the Ear I think!
Would you recommend the Ear from Galaxy Buds2 Pro? The battery life of my Buds2 Pro has gotten a little exhausted and I'm constantly getting low battery warnings.
The transparency and ANC are slightly better on the Buds2 Pro but I prefer the Ear overall
Very helpful, cheers. 👍🏼😎
No problem 👍
Is ear 2 a better buy than ear a ( cuz of the advanced eq and personalized sound profile )
When will you review the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3
Would buying soundpeats capsule 3 pro now, a good deal?
I'd love to see how these compare against JBL Live Pro 2's.
Please review the Status Between 3ANC
Strangely the only earbuds I got complains from the other end with while talking on the phone where the ear 2 and the studio buds plus. I had to stop using them for taking phone calls, what brought me back to my linkbuds s as daily drivers - as I end up with them always since I got them, incredible good overall earbuds.
That is interesting! Linkbuds S are solid though
LF earbuds with best bass ever, can you recommend me some? Thanks. I have new headphones Sony ULT Wear, are great, but I want also earbuds with similar strong bass.
Can you please add and compare oppo enco 3 pro and realme buds air 5 pro into your list.
please bring a review on Baesus MA10 and Baesus MA10 Pro
I'm comparing the ear A & Samsung bud 2 pro & at least to me the A might have them beat for sound quality 🤔
8.5 for all earbuds for their call quality? Clearly Ear 2024 and Ear a are doing much better ENC than the others. They deserve a 9.
Hi when will you review iem under 100 dollars?
Please rate the airreps, it would be a good video to inform
I bought the HuiLian 5.2, the sound is OK, but the battery is awfull. With ANC lasts 3.5 hours... The ANC is not that good
I wasn't informed enough, now I regret spending 60€ 🙃
great review
Is JBL live pro 2 worth buying now ?
In another Review i saw there should be a mono-mode for them. So that you can use only one side.
Maybe another thing to check for yourself and add?
You can use one earbud at a time. That one but just won’t play both audio channels
@@pickyaudio okay, maybe Mike O'Brien made a mistake in his review then.
At around 05:00 in his review of the Ear(a) he mentioned that there is a specific mono-mode in the app. Maybe he could also made a mistake. Just wanted to point it out so you could maybe double-check. Will ask in O'Brien's vid too tho.
@CaptainRaylin Thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to check again I may have missed it
Can you do the Huawei Freeclip as well please? I'm still deciding wheyher I go for that or nothing ear Stick.
They're on my list of buds to get
@@pickyaudio hey, thanks for responding! Looking forward to it!
Out of 10, how would you compare the Soundpeats engine 4 against something like the denon pearl pro (giving the denon a 9/10). I want to get an idea of how much of a difference there is. Because the engine 4s and denon pearl pros (or any other top-tier earbud) are two different classes nobody really compares them.
Yea true. Honestly not that far off in overall quality. I rate the Engine 4 roughly an 8. I have the Denon PerL Pro as a 9.5 on my ranking.
How do you rate the Soundcore liberty 4 nc?
Already a video HAHAHA nice, it will help me make a choice
I hope it helps!
Hello, i have 1+ buds 3 and i love it so far, even though i would like to know what would be even better upgrade over it but not too expensive like 150$ max 😊
Nice! You’ll need to be spending over $200 to get a noticeable upgrade.
@@pickyaudio thanks for the reply, i appreciate it 😊
I really feel like the ear (a) could be the best I've heard for call quality. Too bad you just did one of those videos 3 months ago so I'm guessing another call quality video isn't coming anytime soon?
Yea looking back I think they are slightly better! I might do one towards the end of the year
Kindly suggest me best earbud for audiophile person
I have nothing 2 phone and audio source is apple music
Kindly suggest me
Hows nothing ear compare to qcy t13?
i feel like its also worth mentioning that Airpods become significantly worse quality (i find sound quality wise) when paired with android. I noticed it when i switched from my Iphone 13 to Nothing Phone 2
Noble Fokus Triumph earbuds!
Cant wait the Ear B 🔥🔥🔥
