These days, finding wireless earbuds is as easy as going to the supermarket, they’re everywhere now. But what you may not know, is that not every one of them is made equally, and some outright are too pricey without much grit. So, when Nothing announced the Ear (a) at $99 USD, it definitely caught my attention, especially with that unique casing design and adaptive noise cancellation.

What makes it cool?

Again, its that really unique transparent and rounded case design, and the option for the yellow color. There’s really nothing like it out there.

Is it also useful?

Yes, reviews suggest they are worth the price for the features and audio quality you get, keep in mind you may not get all the features you need.

Are there any caveats?

Yes, there’s no wireless charging included, no LDAC and LHDC support and a much smaller case design with less battery life.

Where can I get my hands on one?

Nothing’s website, some retailers have physical presence.

Is there any alternatives?

Yes, there’s ones like the the Beats Studio Buds Plus (with its translucent casing), Soundcore Liberty 4 NC, OnePlus Buds 3.
