The Nothing Ear Open joins the growing market of open ear options, which also includes higher prices Shockz Open Run Pro 2 and Bose Ultra Open. All of these models feature designs that prioritize safety over sound quality. Instead of forming a seal in your ear for passive sound isolation, always-on wireless earbuds let ambient noise in. For runners and cyclists, this means being able to hear vehicles, pedestrians and other potential hazards. However, if you wear glasses like me, it can sometimes be difficult to wear the over-the-ear style with thicker frames, so this is something to keep in mind.

Although Nothing’s earbuds can’t match the sound quality of modern in-ear models, the design of each speaker unit helps reduce sound leakage. Meanwhile, each earbud includes a pair of microphones and the latest noise-cancelling technology, so your voice should sound crystal clear during phone calls. The earbuds also support multipoint Bluetooth and a ‘low lag mode’ for gaming, which can be activated automatically if you own one Nothing phone. Otherwise, you can activate the mode through Nothing’s mobile app.

When it comes to battery life, nothing says the earbuds get up to eight hours on a full charge, with a total of 30 hours with the charging case. Unfortunately, the case doesn’t support wireless charging, although a quick 10-minute charge via USB-C should provide two hours of listening time.
