CHIP OnlineSingle testReleaseOctober 2024
- Balanced sound
- very comfortable
- very persistent
- Basses partly weak
- ANC noises from medium level
The Nothing Ear sound clear and balanced, but the sound could be a little more powerful. In terms of ease of use and battery life, they are up there with the best. As a nice extra, they answer questions via ChatGPT - on demand and at the touch of a finger. So far, however, this only works in conjunction with a Nothing Phone.

Very good88/100
- Great sound
- 8-band equaliser with individual profiles
- High wearing comfort
- ANC not at top level
The third generation of the Nothing Ear has also improved in terms of performance. Although the leap from the previous model is not quite as big as with the last upgrade, the RRP has not increased either. For just under 150 euros, there are currently only a few in-ear headphones that offer such a well-rounded package as the current generation of Nothing Ear.

Very good92/100
I'm going to say it: the Nothing Ear are the in-ear headphones to beat in the price range up to 150 euros. No competitor offers a more well-rounded overall package of convincing sound, modern features, outstanding wearing comfort and good battery life. The improvements compared to the predecessor are particularly noticeable in the sound and ANC area, and while the Ear are in the top group in terms...
- Excellent overall sound
- Personalised sound image
- good service
- poor transparency mode
- ChatGPT only with Nothing Phone
As with its smartphone, Nothing knows how to enrich the market with fresh ideas - if they are generally usable.
