Moving on to the specifications and features, the Ear (2) is claimed to be re-engineered from the ground up for an ultimate personal listening experience. The earbuds sport the same semi-transparent design as the Ear 1 and have a tall stem for the internal components and press controls. Users can skip tracks, switch between noise cancellation modes, and adjust volume – all with a press. These controls can be customised in the Nothing X app.
There are silicone ear tips as well, which help offer better fit and passive noise isolation.
Each earbud packs an 11.6 mm custom driver for deep, powerful bass and crystal-clear highs. The company claims that the new dual-chamber design also enhances the overall sound quality with smoother airflow.
The earbuds also support dual connection. This means that users can connect the earbuds to two devices at a time and switch between them as per preferences. Ear (2) supports Google Fast Pair on Android devices and Microsoft Swift Pair on Windows devices.
The earbuds are also said to offer improved noise cancellation with personalised Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) of up to 40 dB. Users can also create a Personalised Sound Profile by taking a hearing test in the Nothing X app. The earbuds adjust the equaliser levels in real-time to match the user’s hearing for an optimal listening experience. Ear (2) also offers low-latency game mode support. Once connected to the Phone (1) in Game Mode, the earbuds will automatically turn on Low Lag Mode for an enhanced gaming experience. For non-Phone (1) users, they need to manually turn on Low Lag Mode in the Nothing X app.
