For the past few years, I’ve been using Nothing earbuds as my daily carry. In my opinion, Nothing makes some of the best true wireless earbuds you can get. I love the look and feel of the company’s flagship ‘buds, and the sound quality and battery life have always been terrific. Right now, the Nothing Ear 2 are the only wireless earbuds in my backpack.
When Nothing told me it had a new type of earbud on the way, I jumped at the opportunity to try them out. The Nothing Ear Open, as the name suggests, are the company’s first set of “open” earbuds, meaning they don’t actually go into your ear. When I first learned this, I immediately thought to myself, “OK, well, I guess I won’t be swapping out my Ear 2 for these.” I need a sealed design for shutting out the world.
