Alex bought two pairs of Nothing ear (1) earbuds, but both had a LOT of issues, so here's here to find out if Nothing has fixed the issues that plagued his devices, or if these are just a fashion accessory instead of good wireless earbuds.

@dwatts64 Год назад

I disagree. My daily drivers are the cheap Walmart brand ONN wireless Sport around ears. Paid less than 35 bucks for them and they have never had a connection issue, and the sound quality is better than expected (bearing in mind they're 35, I'd say they're about as good as any Sennheiser buds I've owned at twice the price.) They also have great battery life, comfortable, and a great Type C port charging case. I've owned several $85+ dollar ear buds over the years and the sound isn't nearly 50 bucks more worth and they've all failed for one reason or another far sooner than those cheapies. If I'm paying $100+ they better work flawlessly, and certainly better than $35 Walmart brand buds. If I'm having connection issues in that price range, they're getting returned.

Okay, I'm glad it wasn't just me with the in-ear detection issues. I don't use my ear(1)s very often but I get VERY frequent random pauses. The only way I've found to help the issue is to wear them so that the end of the stem is full-on touching your ear - I'm pretty sure the sensor is there, rather than on the bulb end like most in-ears, so moving around with the stems away from your skin messes with the detection. Poor design but at least relatively solvable. EDIT: Okay, the latency issue is something I experience, too, but I've never had issues with Low Latency Mode. That's a new one for me

Good mids and treble and a strong bass that somehow manages to not overshadow the rest of the sound.

@xanedan4565 Год назад

Also an Ear (1) owner from one of the first releases. I bought them for the looks, but found them to be better than anything else I had at the time so they became my daily drivers for a bit, and I still use them with my Switch (so they're actually in my ears right now). My case actually looks way more scratched than yours (although I didn't miss a peel). No other damage to them though. I don't hate the volume up and down touch controls, but they sit too far in your ears for the touch and hold functions which require a bit of force. My biggest issue though is that the ANC on the (1)'s was frankly unusable for long walks to either cut out or pass through traffic noises depending on my needs. Sad to hear that they still haven't really nailed that. I'm usually a podcast listener, so ANC is more important to me than sound quality.

@saurabhkulkarni8854 Год назад

8:40 So the trick to adjust the volume on these is to support/push the weirdly curved side portion of the earbuds when they’re in your ears with your index finger, and then firmly drag up and down on the buds with your thumb-it’s a 2 finger operation; this basically always works for me. This is also how it works on the new AirPods Pro, except you support those with your thumb and not the index finger.

I have the (1)s and somehow i don't have ANY of the problems Alex described here. In-Ear detection works perfectly fine, touch controls are great and very reliable for me (especially volume, i have no idea how Alex messed that up :D) and my experience in general blew away my expectation for that price point. Even Low-Latency mode never had any problems except for a very short signal cutoff once or twice in the last year or so. I'm really enjoying and never regret buying them :)

@clementcollier8432 Год назад

Yeah and his remarks on the sound profiles doesnt make a lot of sense, its definitely not what I have seen in most serious well known audio review publications. If anything they are somewhat different Airpods with a pretty close profile but worse ANC (irrelevant feature for many people anyway). Considering how trash his looks its fair to say he really doesnt take care of his stuff but this is what I expect from his character. I have had mine for more than a year and frequently run with them and I have no serious issues. They only drop from time to time but it happens exactly at the same place where my airpods would also drop so I cant really be mad about that. For the price they where sold at they were a no brainer, now the value equation is a bit more complicated because you might be able to find some AKG or Samsung version of them that have the best sound profile around for close to this price. Still the overall package is quite interesting and they make the standard airpods look like an overpriced nonsense, I have both and I have a full Apple ecosystem setup yet there is no question about which ones I prefer...

@TheDoctorVra4 Год назад

I definitely agree with that review. I switched to Nothing from the terrible Sony WF-1000XM3 and OMG, Nothing can provide the best true wireless (TWS) headphones at that price. I use it with my iPhone and Macbook and it works perfectly. I haven't faced any issues with that. The only problem with Ear (1) is that the case looks like shit after a year of use, and it's slightly too big for everyday use.

@crow__bar Год назад

Right? I've had mine for about a year and the only time I have issues with them is accidentally switching modes when resting my head on my hand. Other than that, they have worked perfectly. Of course you can find better sounding earphones, or ones with better ANC (a feature I myself don't even really use tbh) but you would struggle to get such an overall good product for the price.

@haychpea Год назад

I have the nothing ear (1)s and i've had none of the problems that alex has talked about, but I have had completely different issues. For example, I am a tall guy and having them in my ear with my phone in my pocket causes the connection to become spotty and also the noise cancellation on them likes to randomly disable itself when there is a lull in the volume of the music. Other than those 2 glaring issues, I havent had too many bad experiences with them but I look forward to Nothing's changes in the future and hope that they can release something that is completely ironed out.

@kevin_spanish Год назад

I mean, basically this. None of the problems Alex mentioned. Kinda sad to see him bash on ear(1) that much. They're pretty decent for the price, if they still sold them. Indeed mine also occasionally stop playing for a moment when my phone is in my pocket for some reason. I've noticed it most while walking, while just sitting in the bus it has no issues. It doesn't seem to lose connection, it just stops playing for 1-3 seconds. That doesn't take away from the fact that my first pair had a constant buzzing noise, which I promptly returned. The second pair has some leftover factory glue or something on the inside of the transparent case, I contacted Nothing support about this, with clear pictures, and they suggested wiping the case with alcohol... On the inside of the case... 🤦‍♂

@@Saitama07 that's around the pitch of high tenor or female vocal parts. It's a pretty commonly scooped area, as the highs and lows are the "exciting" bits in modern music. That said, it would be worse for anything where the voice really is the primary focus, like opera or vocal jazz. You'd lose some of the guitar's mid-range as well, and it'd be a more sparkly or biting sound, depending on the guitar's tone.

@TDAdvocate Год назад

I will say, my Nothing Ear (1) have lasted me roughly the last year. My biggest problems were just the in-ear detection, latency, and horrible transparency mode. As well as an unfortunate circumstance where my right ear bud has a bad battery and since it was a gift with no receipt I can't have it replaced through Nothing directly. They tell me I have to have it replaced by the people I bought it from. Even after explaining it was a receipt-less gift, they still refused. Otherwise I honestly love them and am excited to get my Nothing Ear (2) in the next week or two.

@KixYT Год назад

I have used the Nothing Ear (1) daily for half a year. They are great value and I am very satisfied with them. Being my first pair of in-ear wireless headphones I can't compare them much with anything. But some of the problems Alex describes are not the same as those I have experienced. The touch controls on mine are very responsive actually mostly the volume up and down. The durability is good with only expected scratches on the acrylic and even sleeping with them now and then hasn't been a problem. The in-ear registration also hasn't been an issue with false triggers only the occasional delay when pausing after actually taking them out of the ear. Noise-canceling as mentioned in the original review is only ok - but better than Nothing ;). My most frustrating problem is when taking them out of the case the first earbud sometimes won't connect. Opening the case and waiting for the green indicator to turn off before taking the earbuds out of the case seems to help.

The tap functionality doesn't always work which is probably the most annoying issue for me. Still, overall I'm not unhappy with what they offered at £99, but I am tempted to upgrade if the ear 2 are that much better

@MrJoshkbye Год назад

I bought and have been daily driving the Ear(1)'s since watching James' ShortCircuit. For what it's worth, my anecdotal experience: -Had the same magnet break out in the same way and had to glue it in as well. -They also pause when they wiggle slightly out of my ear, especially in bed. -However, I never had latency issues and watched LTT videos with them on every lunch break at work. They're out of sync for the first couple seconds usually until it works perfectly. -The case is just big and takes some getting used to. -But I also bought and loved them since they were cheaper. I previously shelled out for AirPods pros, but those broke and loved the value of the Nothings. But at $150, I think I'll wait until mine outright fail before upgrading. bonus tech tip: These have 2 small magnets in the bottom of the case, so if u attach two button magnets to a surface, you can make a designated spot for your case to attach magnetically. I glued the magnets to my monitor base at work and slap on the case so it's not bulging in my pants pocket for 8 hours.

If you're in the market for some budget buds with noise cancelling, i do reccomend the JBL live pro 2. Good sound (with heaps of customization in the app), low latency, good touch controls, great battery life, wireless charging, ANC, adjustable transparent mode, in ear detection works great. Basically all of the features of the nothing ear 2 but a bit more adjustability. And depending on where you live, cheaper than the ear 2. Had mine for over 6 months and havent had a problem.

I'm quite a big fan of the ear (1). I'm not a heavy user, using it occasionally for podcasts, music and RU-vid and I personally like the audio from it. In terms of reliability, I don't use it super often so it's surviving really well still. I have 2 gripes with the ear (1) which is the latency and one of my earbuds not charging in the case since the earbuds could sit slightly off of the metal charging tips. Looking at the ear (2), the difference visually is extremely small, I wouldn't be able to differentiate them so I'll probably be waiting for the ear (3) and I hope it's a huge improvement

@Brian-L Год назад

Didn't realize my ear(1) had wireless charging either until this week when I was looking at the spec comparisons between the (1) and (2). Also didn't catch there was a peel on the bottom of the cases! Was an early adopter of the (1) and don't have any usage complaints other than in ear detection was 💩when running or other vigorous activities. Yes it can be turned off, but just relegated them to desk use to drown out the ambient chatter in my open floor plan office and ear detection was flawless. Would love to audition the ear(2), but will wait for them to eventually come down to $99 (missed the $99 launch day discount...)

I had two nothing ear 1s and the left ear bud died on both. Music still plays on them but it’s incredibly quiet and insanely distorted. Both happened with less than a year of use

have had the ear 1’s since May last year and the in ear detection and touch controls have been not great to say the least but as for the latency mine seems to be totally fine (watched the video with them) … might consider the ear 2’s

@Dwesk Год назад

As someone who's bought Nothing Ear (2)s as his first wireless earbud and still waiting for them to ship, I love watching various takes on both the (1)s and (2)s, especially the more critical ones, glad I chose to pay the extra 40 euros to get the (2)s as they seem to be the wiser choice and should last at least for a few years if lucky. In the end the most iconic take of this whole video was at 21:18, with earbuds you should always go for a compromise, if you actually want really good quality audio and spend enough time at home or places that allow you to have proper headphones - do that and actually splurge there.

@Zetraxes Год назад

The probelm with it being 150 dollars is that it shifts the price segment where its in. Even when its better in every way compared to the Nothing ear 1 it has to compete with the other value hard hitters in the 150$ price range which i think it is definitly not well matched up against

Just had to repair my Notging ear ones after 1 year 3 months of use. The solder pads connect the battery in the case was not great, making the entire case not work. Re-soldering the pads for the battery fixed the problem. Good headphones for being a brands first product. Has had some issues, but still a fan.

@p1geon45 Год назад

I've had my ear ones for about 1.5 years and they're still going strong. No latency, nothing broke, still live for 6-8h playtime and no issues with in ear detection. I'm super excited for the ear twos now but there is literally no reason to buy them if my ones are still perfect. Just weird why you had so many issues

Kind of a pity so many people have had issue with the ear 1s, I have them and after the first couple of firmware updates they worked flawlessly. They are not super great, but that was kind of the point, they are ok, relatively cheap and look cool. In ear detection is admittedly not good but it got better with updates

@eschmabriel Год назад

I had all the same problems with the ear 1s, the casing broke on my left one and I glued it, as well as the acrylic cracking on the case. I also missed the peel for months

@jakubharcarik2181 Год назад

As a user since launch, I've also have none of the issues that Alex mentioned, may be a bit product dependent, because my girlfriend bought herself a pair and had loads of issues that made her buy a pair of some other headphones but still got back to the ear(1), on her pair, the case had a lot of imperfections, such as specs of dust under the acrylic and stuff, the magnets a bit missaligned and stuff but mine were completely fine, a friend of mine also bought them about a week after me and had also no issues, still, for the money that they cost, you just cannot buy a better pair of in ear wireless headphones

@andrewcarfax-foster5046 Год назад

3:18, I have had a pretty stellar run with my launch Ear (1)s. They sound noticeably better than my AirPods pro gen 1 and beats fit pro for on-the-go and gym use with iPhone and Android phones. Touch controls have never given me issues. I have always had fairly good connection. In-ear detection has been a bit hit and miss though.

@wiko211 Год назад

I had my ear ones for almost a year now. Did not have issues with in ear sensor. However, I did experiance some bt disconnects but they are not frequent at all. One thing I had was the noise cancelation just randomly stoping to work while taking a bus or sth simmilar with a lot of background noise. After few second it kicked right up but I still experiance it. Still nice earphones for the price and I am happy overall.

@paul_w Год назад

I liked the version 1, only issue is that their quality control is terrible and that both pairs I bought ended up with the same issue which is that the right earbud stopped working basically. Adding to that all the issues mentioned in the video (and you will encounter at least some of them) and add to that the new 150$ price, I would advise against buying them.

I'm using ear (1) for 2 years, roughly, mind you folks. Mine fell from a train bunker to floor and collided with a metal still is fine. It took me almost 10 to 12 drops on a rough indian terrain to have a crack. But I agree about its glue getting loose. It has a balanced sound which can be better.

@dievadim Год назад

Actually, have 0 problem with latency, cause on RU-vid during first couple of seconds it's hold a frame and magically synchronize. Volume adjustment also works every time, no problem at all. Much often had trouble with right earbud connection to the case - sometimes it just still connected to the phone and not charging, you have to wiggle a little bit before closing the case. And yeah, in-ear detection sometimes terrible - have to adjust right earbud to get noise cancelation back and continue listening. And the last major flaw - buggy connection to the phone. Sometimes it just goes back and forth between "connected" and "disconnected", you have to put them back and repeat the process slowly. But overall it is a great product for the price, have both colors for tablet and smartphone, and now I'm looking for new ones - seems so much better and able to replace both pairs)

@LilCripplingAnxiety Год назад

interesting with the ear 1s it literally just seems to be QC issues because everyone seems to have a different experience. my first pair I exchanged simply because a month or two of ownership saw the case acrylic start to crack around the hinge. they were willing to replace them instantly which I thought was good. but across both my pairs I never had a problem with the touch controls or anything. recently I have had issues with the left bud refusing to connect until I put it back in the case and pull it out again, then it will connect. sad, but it's only recent and I can't seem to find what's causing it. I will admit I have gone back to wired IEMs but that's only because I've gotten back in to audio as a hobby again after using wireless everything for several years. I still think that for the price point you can't beat them. I hope the QC is better on the new ones because I think when they're good they're really good, it's just a shame how much that experience can vary.

I've been using the original Vivo Tws earphones between 2-8 hours everyday since 2019. Battery still lasts over a week and have had no issues with them. The only thing that would nice is if they had more customisation options. But that isn't a must have for me so they have been a really great purchase.
