Nothing Year and Nothing Year A are confirmed to launch on April 18. The company revealed that it is changing its naming strategy for its audio lineup. So, despite being the successor to the Nothing Ear 2, the upcoming Nothing Ear true wireless earphones will not have the number ‘3’ in their moniker. There is also the Nothing Ear A, which is considered a cheaper version with skimmed-down features. Ahead of the official launch, a new report has leaked some details of the upcoming earphones, including price, design, and key features.
The vanilla Nothing Ear will be the top-end variant of the two models confirmed to launch later this month, reports Android Headlines. They are said to be priced at EUR 150 (roughly Rs. 13,500) and are likely to be offered in black and white color options. The report shared leaked images of the earphones, which show that they retain the transparent design of their previous model.
Additionally, the report states that the Nothing Ear is expected to support active noise cancellation (ANC) and dual connectivity. The earphones are likely to come with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, while the case is likely to get an IPX2 rating.
The Nothing Ear is also said to offer seven and a half hours of battery life with the ANC feature turned off and a total of 33 hours of battery life with the charging case. The case is also said to include a fast charging feature, which is claimed to provide 10 hours of playback time from a 10-minute charge.
Meanwhile, the Nothing Ear A is said to be priced at EUR 100 (roughly Rs. 9,000). The report shared images of the earphones which are shown in black, white and yellow color options. The yellow version is said to offer a more eco-friendly design. The report says that if this is true, then the packaging of the earphones could also be eco-friendly.
According to the report, based on what has been leaked, the only difference between the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear A is the IP rating and battery life. The Nothing Ear A is also expected to support ANC, dual connectivity, and fast charging. However, these earphones are expected to offer a playback time of eight hours without ANC and a total battery life of 38 hours with the charging case. While the Nothing Ear A earphones are said to get an IP54 rating, the charging case is likely to get an IP55 rating.
