Nothing Ear (3) with improved design, Super Mic feature debuts

Nothing has officially unveiled its next flagship in-ear TWS earphones, the Ear (3). The earphones come with an improved design that uses aluminum in the case, improved sound quality, extended battery life, and a new Super Mic feature.

The Nothing Ear (3) is the first in the lineup to use metal components alongside the transparent design elements. The charging case gets a new Super Mic feature that’s essentially a dual-mic system said to deliver clearer calls.

According to Nothing, the Super Mic feature can cut up to 95 dB of noise and is activated with the press of a new ‘Talk’ button on the case. Other than calls, it can be used for recording voice notes via the native voice memo apps on both iOS and Android.

Notably, each earbud also gets a three-mic system and a bone-conduction voice pickup unit for improved calls. It also offers real-time adaptive noise cancellation up to 45 dB.

Nothing Ear (3) comes with 12mm dynamic drivers that are claimed to deliver stronger bass and a wider soundstage. The earphones support static Spatial Audio and AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs. For connectivity, the TWS earphones offer Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-connection support.

The Ear (3) also offers in-ear detection, a low-lag mode, Hi-Res certification, and an IP54 rating for both the earphones and the charging case.

The earphones come with a 55 mAh battery, whereas the charging case packs a 500 mAh cell. Nothing claims that the Ear (3) can last up to 5.5 hours with ANC on, and 10 hours without. The charging case is said to offer an additional 38 hours of battery life. The charging case also supports fast and wireless charging.

Ear (3) in White and Black colors

Nothing Ear (3) will be available in White and Black color options for $179/€179 with sales set to start on September 25.
