With LHDC codec and open seats?
At Nothing, the next product seems to be on the starting block. Along with the Ear (Stick), the new TWS in-ear headphones follow, intended to expand the portfolio around the phone (1). In line with this, the company’s own in-ears are now better integrated into the system thanks to a new software update
There were already first hints of the new in-ear headphones at the Nothing Phone (1) launch event. The hype surrounding the smartphone was perhaps so great that Amazon accidentally offered a bundle with the ear (Stick), which was then unknown. But now Nothing has officially announced the fresh TWS in-ears and unveiled them at a fashion show The only question is: what do they offer compared to Nothing Year (1) and how much will they cost?
First of all Nothing on phone (1) A new software update with version 1.1.4. It not only fixes some bugs and improves stability, but also makes fine adjustments. The ear (1) is now better integrated into the system and, for example, in the form of a Large widget is displayed in the expanded notification bar. There you can see the battery level and make sound and ANC settings.
However, this is a bit more exciting Support for LHDC, an audio codec for high sound quality and low latency. In line with this, new in-ear headphones with ear (stick) in their luggage with LHDC can now have nothing. However, it’s unclear if the new “Sticks” will have a codec on board – as no details about the in-ears have been shared so far.
Fresh design with IP54 certification
Photos show a slightly different design. The charging case, meanwhile, comes in one Rectangular shape Therefore, however, with a feature again clear appearance. A red accent is seen at one end. However, due to the new format, wireless charging should no longer be on board.
According to details leaked by Amazon at the time, the Nothing Year (stick) should have one IP54-rating And connect to music sources via Bluetooth 5.2. Battery life with charging case is said to be up to 7 hours Up to 30 hours in total In addition to being possible, a “half in-ear” design has been mentioned, which suggests a slightly looser fit – perhaps without the rubberized attachment.
Nothing new in-ears should start at 99 euros, just like in-ears back then (1). The latter, however, is always on offer, and so in part For only 74.99 euros. In our tests, the Nothing Ear (1) scored particularly well with its comfortable fit, solid sound, and eye-catching design.
