Product guide

Nothing Ear (3) Wireless Earbuds, Black

Nothing Ear (3) are black in-ear wireless earbuds with adaptive noise cancellation, LDAC-compatible audio and a charging-case Super Mic. The listing gives up to 38 hours of battery life, but its detailed battery claims vary by listening mode, so treat that headline as conditional rather than an all-day earbud runtime.

At a glance

Adaptive ANC is described as recalibrating in real time, with a transparency mode also listed.
The charging case has a separate Super Mic system for calls and voice notes. The instructions say to hold the case close and point it towards your mouth.
LDAC-compatible wireless audio and static spatial audio are listed, alongside Nothing X app sound personalisation.
The listing claims up to 5.5 hours of listening with ANC on and up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute USB-C charge.

Pros and cons

Pros

The case-based Super Mic offers a distinct call and voice-note option, with listed guidance for positioning the case near your mouth.
App-based sound personalisation includes an 8-band equaliser and a hearing-analysis feature, according to the listing.
Wireless charging is stated for the case, and the contents list includes a wireless charging case.

Cons

For listening with ANC on, the detailed claim is up to 5.5 hours from the earbuds, substantially less than the 38-hour headline suggests for total listening time.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims are inconsistent: the listing gives 38 hours, while detailed manufacturer copy states up to 22 hours with ANC on including the case, up to 5.5 hours on the earbuds with ANC on, and up to 10 hours of playback after a 10-minute USB-C charge. Treat each as mode-specific and confirm which usage conditions apply. Super Mic instructions require keeping the case close and pointed towards your mouth, with 5cm recommended in loud environments. Dual Connection limits some Super Mic functions. The listing calls the product IP54 in its title and features, but its separate water-resistance field only says “Water Resistant”.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Listeners wanting in-ear wireless earbuds with ANC and a transparency mode.

Less suited to

People who need confirmed water-protection details beyond the listing’s conflicting IP54 and general water-resistant claims.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of build quality, sound and design, including a mention of bass and mid-bass with ANC on. Experiences with noise cancellation, functionality, battery life, fit and value are mixed, with some customers reporting charging or comfort problems. This makes fit and day-to-day reliability worth weighing alongside the listed ANC and battery modes. The aggregate rating is generally favourable, but it does not resolve those differing experiences.

Positive themes

Customers describe the build quality and sound positively, and some praise the design.

Mixed feedback

Customer impressions of ANC, functionality, battery life, fit and value vary. Some report charging or comfort problems.
