Nothing Ear (Open) Review: A Convenient and Reliable Choice with Room for Improvement

Design
The Nothing Ear (Open) buds have introduced a new era of open-ear listening, and I’ve had the pleasure of testing them out. With a slim case that’s just 19mm thick and only 62.4 grams, it’s no wonder they’re so easy to slip into my tote bag or jeans’ front pockets. The buds themselves are surprisingly light, weighing in at 8.1 grams each. While not ideal for regular use, they’re great for running with the included bands.

Sound
The Nothing Ear (Open) features 14.2mm dynamic drivers, which are significantly larger than the standard 8-12mm drivers found in most wireless earbuds. Driver size primarily impacts bass intensity, but even with the bigger drivers, you shouldn’t expect punchy bass on open earbuds. Unfortunately, the Nothing Ear (Open) suffers from significant sound leakage, which manifests itself in poor bass. This isn’t a new issue for open earbuds, and companies like Shokz are making strides to improve this with their latest running buds.

Battery and Water Resistance
The Nothing Ear (Open) boasts up to 6-8 hours of talk time and 24-30 hours of playtime on a single charge, which has been impressive during my weeks-long review period. I’ve only had to charge them once on the weekends, thanks to their impressive talk time. A solid red light indicates a low charge, a blinking white light shows the buds are being charged, and a solid white light signifies a full charge. They recharge in under an hour and don’t support wireless charging.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Very comfortable to wear for extended periods
• Easily navigable onboard volume controls
• Battery life lasts a week
• Durable and resistant to water and dust
• Can connect to two devices simultaneously

Cons:

• Pinch button is inconvenient to use
• Loose fit leads to sound leakage and average sound quality
• Average sound quality due to poor fit and sound leakage

Verdict
I’ve developed a complicated relationship with the Nothing Ear (Open). They’re comfortable and lightweight, perfect for daily use, but struggle to deliver enjoyable music experiences due to their poor fit and sound leakage. While I appreciate the features, such as easily navigable onboard volume controls and impressive battery life, they’re not enough to compensate for the mediocre sound quality. For me, they’re best suited as a quick, convenient option for chores or errands, but not as a dedicated music experience.
