Nothing launches open-ear style earbuds, Ear (Open) with 30 hours of playtime

Nothing has introduced its latest and first open earbuds, the Ear (Open). These open-ear style wireless earbuds are designed to provide users with situational awareness while enjoying their music, promise up to 30 hours of playback, and feature Nothing's transparent design.
The Ear (Open) have 14.2mm titanium-coated drivers, which Nothing says is pending for a patent.Nothing has implemented an innovative three-point balance system with silicone ear hooks, resulting in earbuds that weigh just 8.1 grams each. The company claims its new Sound Seal System with directional speakers minimises sound leakage, addressing a common concern with open-ear designs. Owing to its open ear design, the Ear (Open) doesn’t have the active noise cancellation.
With Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, the Ear (Open) comes with the support for dual device pairing. The earbuds also incorporate Clear Voice 3.0 technology with dual microphones for improved call quality, customizable controls and EQ settings via the Nothing X app, and integration with ChatGPT (which requires a Nothing phone to function).
The case is 19mm thin and is rated for dust and splash resistant, and so are the earbuds themselves.
Nothing is promising 8 hours of playback on a single charge. Then, with the case the te Ear (Open) can go on for 30 continuous hours. For users in a hurry, a quick charging feature provides 2 hours of use after just 10 minutes of charging.
Noting Ear (Open) are priced at Rs 17,999 India. The Ear (Open) will be available for pre-orders starting September 24, with sales beginning October 1, 2024.
