Ear (1) (Credit: Nothing) UPDATE 7/27: Nothing today officially unveiled its $99 Ear(1) earbud s. They do indeed feature active noise cancellation, as well as a transparent mode that allows in some outside noise. They will provide up to 34 hours of listening with the case and ANC turned off; 5 hours with the earbuds, the company said. At 4.7 grams, they’re “ultra light,” Nothing says. (The AirPods Pro come in at 5.4 grams.) They feature an 11.6mm speaker driver and sound from Teenage Engineering. Each set of Ear(1) earbuds come with three tips for a customized fit, plus pressure-relieving vents. “You might forget you’re wearing them, and that’s the point,” Nothing says. For workouts, the Ear(1) buds are rating IPX4 for sweat- and water-resistance. The earbuds will be compatible with iOS 11 and above and Android 5.
