Nothing Ear: Features, Specifications
The Nothing Ear features custom 11mm dynamic drivers with a ceramic diaphragm. The company claims to have improved the dual chamber design from last year, and as a result, the Nothing Ear has two additional vents to improve airflow, which results in clearer sound.
The Nothing Ear offers up to 45dB active noise cancellation and features a new Smart ANC algorithm. This algorithm automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbuds and the ear canal and adjusts ANC. There is also an adaptive ANC feature, which offers three noise cancellation levels: low, medium, and high.
The Nothing Ear offers a dual connection feature that allows users to switch between devices seamlessly. It also supports a low-latency mode for a seamless gaming experience.
