Iove the Nothing design in general They make really nice looking tech and they're performing good like their phone 1 which i have I just hope they'll also publish the black version of ear 2 so it matches my black phone 1

Very Nice Review. Can you recommend which one to choose between sennheiser cx plus or nothing ear 2 for sound quality with better bass ?

@walterdbrown Год назад

If these are better than the 1st generation, they should be amazing. I tried the Ear (1) and they were pretty good.

@TrailLessTravelled Год назад

Great video Mike! Can you clarify the battery life and fast charging for these? How long is the battery with ANC off? Must be at least 8 hours given the crazy fast charging spec, right? If so feels like a huge battery loss if you choose to use ANC.

@benmayhem7574 Год назад

Keep up the good work

@SomeMadAussie Год назад

I'd say my dream would be the Nothing design with the case and connectivity of AirPods. I'm a bit scared at the durability of them, but they're cheaper than the AirPods 3, with noise cancelling too. An interesting proposition.

4:44 so I funny thing on the design, I personally really like them. I think they look cool and interesting. However, my father in law asked me if I got that design so it’s a deterrent, that thieves would think it’s broken. All of this to say everyone has their own opinions 😂

I am using them with iPhone 14 Pro with Tidal and the only thing that makes highs sibilant is the personalized setting. If you turn it off the high frequencies are just amazing.

If ur priority is battery life, there's nothing like boat nirvana ion. The buds itself last for 24 hrs of continuous playback, and with the case, the battery lasts for 120 hrs. The sound quality will also not disappoint at all.

I compared then against my AirPods Pro on an iPhone 13 ProMax. I found the NE2 were better for me overall except during calls. The AirPod Pro feature worked better. On my S23 Ultra, there was no competition - NE2 won hands down. They work with my Thinkpad and will flip to the S23U for incoming calls.

@itskxmi Год назад

🧢 u must really hate Apple lmao. Nothing earbuds don’t even compare to any popular earbuds like AirPods, Galaxy buds, or beats. Sound quality: ass. Battery: garbage. Microphone: shit. I was able to try them bc my brother has them (now he uses AKG), and they are even worse then I though they were even with my low expectations. Battery doesn’t even close last as long as advertised. Not only are they not better or even remotely close to AirPods Pro or even the standard ones, but they are just not worth it overall even if u don’t compare it to other earbuds.

@Shundo514 Год назад

I own nothing earbud 2 with hi fi sound chip and I was blow away by the sound quality. It can compare almost to Bose qc2 earbud and Sony wf1000x4 and sennheiser mw3. All I care about is sound quality and comfort. Rest is bonus to me. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music such as Turkish, Indian, reggae, etc. after some software adjustments nothing sound really great. Nothing ear 2 is wayyyyyyyy better than beats and AirPods.

@iseptimus Год назад

If you really cared about sound quality you would use B&O or B&W. Even Master & Dynamic will be better. MTW3 though are an amazing all round earbud. Bose QCIi and XM4 are, sadly, garbage for their price. ANC over all other things. Very small and closed sound stage.

300ms latency is a joke and Low Latency (as low as 120ms) can only be done with the Actual Nothing Phone and in Gaming Mode only (According to their own website). in 2023, that should be a hard pass for a lot of people. The Oneplus Buds Z2 does 97ms latency with almost any phone.
