Nothing unveils Ear (3): metal accents, longer life, Super Mic
Nothing has introduced the Ear (3), the next flagship in its in-ear TWS lineup. The update brings a refined look — the brand’s first use of metal components alongside its signature transparent elements — plus improved audio performance, longer battery endurance, and a new Super Mic system aimed at making calls clearer in noisy environments.
Super Mic and call enhancements
The charging case now doubles as an active audio tool: a dedicated "Talk" button activates the Super Mic, a dual-microphone array Nothing says can reduce ambient noise by up to 95 dB. That system is designed for clearer voice calls and can also record higher-quality voice memos directly through native iOS and Android apps. Each earbud further includes a three-mic array and a bone-conduction pickup to improve voice clarity, while real-time adaptive ANC provides up to 45 dB of noise cancellation.
Sound, codecs and connectivity
Nothing equips the Ear (3) with 12 mm dynamic drivers tuned for stronger bass and a wider soundstage. The buds support static Spatial Audio and common codecs — AAC, SBC — plus LDAC for higher-resolution wireless streaming. Connectivity is powered by Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-connection support, alongside Hi-Res certification and a low-lag mode for gaming and video.
Key specs at a glance:
- 12 mm dynamic drivers
- ANC up to 45 dB
- Earbud battery: 55 mAh; Case: 500 mAh
- Up to 5.5 hours with ANC; ~10 hours without; case adds ~38 hours
- Fast and wireless charging; IP54 rating (earbuds and case)
Price, colors and availability
The Ear (3) will ship in White and Black, priced at $179 / €179, with sales starting September 25. For buyers comparing TWS options, Ear (3) targets users who prioritize call quality and a balance of audio fidelity, battery life, and premium materials.
Whether you make frequent calls outdoors or want improved wireless audio with LDAC and Hi-Res credentials, the Nothing Ear (3) packs a mix of hardware upgrades and software features designed for clearer voice, stronger bass, and extended listening sessions.
