"with the right equalizer setting they are fucking amazing. ... To the extend where I rather grap my Nothing ear than my Sennheiser hd580 prec., which is my favourite Headphone."


"The Nothing Eat sound amazing though ... and have phenomenal bass for buds."


"overall neutral with a nice harman tendency ... I'm working as a mastering engineer and prefer a frequency response in between neutral and Harman, the ear (2) are much closer to that"

I'm using Nothing ear 2, but to be fair the Bluetooth latency kidna sucks and depending on the game is even distracting. I have also KZ ZSN Pro on my main computer and i think i would be better of getting another ones for the Deck.

Just about a year of use the battery level dropped to < 1 hour, the tiny holes get frequently blocked due to dust, you can find this on Nothing subreddits as well.  Fragile ass build quality, they just broke.  Mic quality also deteriorated.  Thank God I got an extended warranty, gave them they were unable to fix it and just refunded me 60% of the amount I paid. Nothing phone is good, ngl. but ear 2 sucked ass. the local chinese earphones lasted long

Soooo you kinda asking for the ultimate hybrid. And they just don't exist. However at the price point you going for you have great options. First if you want in eco system, galaxy buds pro 3 and the easy choice. If you want best sound Sony WF1000XM5 is definitely for audiophiles. If you want something for the gym with good sound, jabra elite8 active gen 2 is the best out there. If you want to spend half those prices and have a great daily driver I'd recommend checking out the nothing ear gen 2.

Sony WF-1000XM5 are some of the best out there. I would also recommend the nothing ear 2 or the more budget nothing ear(a) which I personally use and they probably have the best audio quality in that price range. Tho I have absolutely no idea why you would spend 500$ for earbuds and if earbuds priced at that range exist, but all of these are 300$ or and below(ear 2 are 150$ and ear a should be about 90$).

Yeah, the ear(a) sound really good, no complaints about the quality but the ANC is not so good in my opinion, and if I recall correctly the ear 2 are much better in the ANC dep. But the ANC on the Sony buds are by far one of, if not the best out there, the quality should also be comparable or better.

I recently bought ear 2 by nothing and well, they're amazing. I stopped using my sony wf-mx 5 and gave them to my mum. The nothing ones are amazing, overall neutral with a nice harman tendency, long lasting, good anc (not as good as sony, but good enough for sure)

First of all, the case is not an argument for me, personally. Of course it could be for some of you and yes, Sony has a better form factor. The reasons I prefer the ear (2) over the xm5 are the following: -I'm working as a mastering engineer and prefer a frequency response in between neutral and Harman, the ear (2) are much closer to that, while the xm5 are what I would call a balanced bathtub. The ear (2) allow for somewhat accurate hearing measurements (and correction) and the app is really, really well made. They offer two lossless and a lossy codec, while the xm5 offer ldac (older version) and a lossy one, but often one or both buds have short connection losses while listening lossless. no issues with the ear (2) at all. Soundstage and comfort are also better for me, although this is a personal thing. Battery life is a bit shorter and anc not as extreme with ear (2),but therfore it's adaptive, making it feel less like this typical anc vacuum, if you know what I mean. I don't use them for calls, can't say a lot more than that both work well, no complaints here. I also never tried the Galaxy buds. Nothing ear (2) sound like improved airpods 2 pro with a better stage and larger frequency response, including a better bass representation.

I've tried the Sony, Sennheiser, and Technics from that list. Sennheiser (Momentum 3): Very good sound quality, but they broke after a couple of months. Also, even after owning them for about a year, the ear fins made my ears sore during longer listening sessions. Great sound, but not the most reliable or comfortable. Sony: I bought the Sony earbuds to replace the Sennheisers. While the sound was good, the foam ear tips were annoying, and they didn’t support the ear well, leading to discomfort. Like the Sennheisers, they made my ears sore after longer periods. I ended up returning them after just a few days. Technics AZ80: These were my favorite out of the ones I tried. Very comfortable with good ear support, and the sound quality was excellent. Sadly, one earbud jumped out of my ear into a river while I was running, so that ended that. Now, I'm using the Nothing Ear (2). Honestly, I would recommend the Nothing Ear (2) over all the others. It offers basically the same sound quality at half the price, and the app experience is much better than Technics'. Summary: All of them have good sound quality. Sennheiser sounds great but has reliability issues and uncomfortable ear fins. Sony has good sound but uncomfortable ear tips and poor fit. Technics are the best overall for comfort and sound. Nothing Ear (2) delivers about 95% of the Technics experience, has a better app, and costs half as much.

I had a pair of "nothing" ear headphones which I lost on a bus and I was gutted.. Less than £100 and the battery life on them is extraordinary. I bought v2 to replace the lost ones about 4 months ago and used them frequently... haven't had to charge them yet.

I have the Nothing 2's. Love the sound, the fit, battery life... I hate the controls. The buttons seldom do what they're meant to do. Makes it frustrating.
