    This seems like a great channel based on this video. I got the first and 2nd version of the ear(1) and I absolutely love them.

      if you said that the Nothing ear(1) is great, than these new ones are Amazing, bcs from a lot of more neutral, non biased, non paid review, most of them are disappointed with the first gen of Nothing ear

    Hi. Thanks for your review.
    I just want to know one thing. Is the microphones and voice quality best on the nothing ear A than the microphones of nothing ear 2?
    I need the best calls quality avobe the rest features.
    Thanks for your help!

      Hey there! We’re still putting both earbuds through our extensive lab tests, and we should have an answer for you soon. Be sure to subscribe and stay tuned for our full reviews, complete with our standardized mic samples. Happy listening!

      From some other video A may have sounded better than 2. But I'd assume simply Ear would sound better than Ear A. There's also Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 and Denon PerL Pro with four microphones. Haven't compared these with those from video recordings but I think those two seem to perform very strong against the rest. PerL Pro is at another price level.

      ear(2) still have a more complete features, and it still sounds better (although much more balanced tuning) while ear(a) surprisingly have a better ANC, comparable to the third gen nothing ear

    Hi, i got a question, i have airpods 3rd gen and i want to upgrade to Anc buds and idk should i go with airpods pro 2 or somethings like xm5 or nothing buds, because i want very good sound quality(i heard airpods are worse than nothings and xm5 in sound quality), but also i need very good anc, but one of the important things is transparency, so should I settle with airpods pro 2 because i have everything apple and im in their ecosystem, thanks!!!

    • @petermurage8685
      @petermurage8685 Месяц назад +1

      If sound quality is a priority id steer clear of airpods. Hell, even Soundcore L4 sound better than Airpod pro 2 with an iphone. Ive tried both. Get the Sony xm5

    • @SoundGuys
      @SoundGuys  Месяц назад +1

      Based on my limited time with the Nothing Ear, I think it's a great choice if you're looking for something more affordable than the AirPods Pro 2 or Sony WF-1000XM5-especially since the Nothing Ear has the Advanced EQ and Sound Personalization feature. I'm not sure yet how the Nothing Ear's ANC compares to the XM5 or AirPods Pro 2 since we're still testing that, so stay tuned for those results.
      On the other hand, the AirPods Pro 2 do work seamlessly with Apple products, which is a huge selling point for some. Also, the Sony WF-1000XM5 has arguably some of the best ANC we've tested in a pair of in-ears. All three earbuds also provide decent transparency modes, though I find Apple's to perform slightly better than the rest.
      I don't think you'll go wrong choosing either of those earbuds, but if you ask me, I'd wait until our full reviews our out for the Nothing Ear (and Ear (a)) so you have all the info you need to make the best decision for your needs. :)
      Hope this helps. Happy listening!

      I thought the Apple products performed well? Just that they happened to be Apple products. Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 and Denon PerL Pro seem nice too.

    • @SoundGuys
      @SoundGuys  Месяц назад

      Based on my experience, yes-so long as you take the time to adjust the sound to your taste. These don't produce as much bass as something like the Sony ULT WEAR, out-of-the-box. But if you fiddle around with the EQ and Bass Enhance feature then these are sure to pump out some serious bass. Hope this helps. Happy listening!

    No in-built spatial audio is a huge deal-breaker tbh. Once you experience that on OnePlus/Oppo earbuds there's no going back to listening podcasts, youtube videos and movies/shows without it.

    • @papervws
      @papervws Месяц назад +1

      why? applying spatial audio to stereo sound might sound kinda cool but it’s just the algorithm deciding things, making the mix inaccurate

    In what scenario charginc cases even need to be water resistant?
    We're not testing books to be water resistant, we don't go diving with them.
    I think reviewers should stop even giving things like that time, manufacturers then watch this and think that this is something people care about and try to add all that to every single model driving the $$$ we're going to pay for the product that we just want to sound good without connection issues.
