Nothing Ear (open) Review: Brilliantly Designed, but a Niche Experience
Although I have some experience with open-ear headphones, I wasn't sure what to expect from the Nothing Ear (open) earbuds, as they are unlike anything I've seen before. Unlike traditional in-ear or over-ear audio devices, these earbuds offer a completely different design and user experience.
The Nothing Ear (open) earbuds are bold and breathable, crafted especially for runners and active users. Their open-ear design allows ambient sound in, promoting safety and awareness during outdoor activities.
“Nothing’s open-ear earbuds are bold, breathable, and made for runners — but do they sound as good as they look?”
While their design is innovative and stylish, the earbuds cater to a niche audience who prioritize situational awareness over full noise isolation.
