- Users can capture audio moments, including calls, by pinching buds.
- New striking pink finish available alongside black and yellow.
The new budget-friendly Nothing Ear (3a) earbuds are now available for $99/£99, offering a "playful" and "joyful" option for tech-savvy users. A key innovation is the inclusion of 32MB of built-in flash storage, enabling an "Audio Snapshot" feature. This allows users to capture audio moments, such as lectures or conversations, by simply pinching both earbuds. This functionality extends to in-call recording, with privacy notifications alerting participants. Recordings are automatically synced to the Nothing X app for editing and transcription. The earbuds boast a new 12mm driver, LDAC support for hi-res audio, and a wide-band 45dB Active Noise Cancellation algorithm, an improvement over previous models. They also feature improved comfort with a revised ear-tip design and an 8-band EQ tab. Battery life is substantial, claiming up to 10 hours of listening time on the buds alone, with up to 42 hours including the case. The Ear (3a) also carry an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.
