Nothing Ear (3)
Nothing's third-generation flagship is the style-forward value pick, wrapping a co-developed Hi-Fi sound signature, LDAC support, and genuinely competitive ANC in that unmistakable transparent design at a price that undercuts every premium rival here. The companion app is one of the most flexible around, with a full parametric-style EQ and personalized sound profiles, and the new aluminum case with an integrated mic for clearer calls is a clever touch. It can't quite match Sony or Bose at the very top of cancellation, and the brand's longevity is unproven, but as a do-everything Android earbud for the money it's hard to beat.
A good time to buy — it's at its lowest price on record, right around its 90-day average.
- Excellent value with LDAC and strong ANC
- Highly flexible EQ and sound personalization
- Distinctive transparent design with premium aluminum case
- ANC trails Sony and Bose flagships
- Best codec needs an Android phone
- Unproven long-term brand support
