A slightly simplified and more accessible version of the 2024 model Nothing Ear TWS earbuds. In the modification with the suffix (a), a plastic driver is used instead of a ceramic-infused emitter, and there is no support for the LHDC 5.0 codec (however, it is compatible with LDAC), and there's a slight economy on the charging case. In terms of overall sound character and active noise cancellation performance, Nothing Ear (a) is almost indistinguishable from the higher-end model.
The earbuds deliver detailed sound, dense bass, and well-developed high frequencies. In the Nothing X smartphone app, it's possible to adjust the equalizer for lows, mids, and highs. The main feature of these earbuds is the ability to communicate with the ChatGPT AI chatbot. On a full charge, they provide about 5.5 hours of earbud operation with ANC on and up to 10 hours of music listening without using the ANC feature. The case, with a partially transparent lid, allows extending the autonomy to 24 and 42 hours respectively. It's worth mentioning that the case for modification (a) does not have water resistance and does not support wireless charging. However, the earbuds themselves are IP54 rated.

Original design
The Nothing Ear (a) wireless earphones, launched by a company founded by a former OnePlus executive, stand out for their affordable price tag and unusual design. This model is available in three colors, including bright yellow, and attracts attention with transparent elements of the earphones and charging case, through which the internal parts are visible, which gives the device a futuristic look. The earphones weigh about 5 g each, they sit comfortably in the ears and do not fall out, even during active sports. The case fits easily in your pocket. The earphones are protected from moisture according to the IP54 standard, although the case has a more modest IPX2 protection, so it is better to keep it away from water.
Unlike many models, Nothing Ear (a) do not respond to touches and swipes, although they support touch control. To control, you need to squeeze the "legs" of the headphones - this way you can pause the music, switch tracks or turn on / off noise cancellation. There is also an auto pause when you remove the headphones.
Sound and noise reduction
The headphones are equipped with 11-millimeter drivers and support the LDAC codec for high-quality sound reproduction. The equalizer has a low-frequency adjustment, which adds depth to the bass. The sound of the headphones is high-quality, although the low frequencies remind you that this is a mid-range model.
Useful features include Multipoint for connecting to two devices simultaneously, three microphones in each earbud for noise cancellation during calls, and a gaming mode to minimize lag. The ANC system allows you to completely isolate yourself from surrounding sounds or turn on a transparent mode to hear surrounding signals. Adaptive mode adjusts to the environment, adjusting the degree of noise cancellation.
Chat GPT integration
An interesting feature is the integration with Chat GPT: you can find out exchange rates, recipes or cryptocurrency forecasts. Although the accuracy of the answers is not guaranteed, the function is available exclusively on Nothing smartphones.
In terms of battery life, the headphones last up to 9.5 hours on a single charge or 42.5 hours with the case if noise cancellation is disabled. With ANC activated, the operating time is reduced to 5.5 and 24.5 hours, respectively. Wireless charging is not supported, but there is a fast charge: 10 minutes provide 10 hours of listening.
