Sound Evolution: Discovering the Upgrades in Nothing Ear 2’s Mid-Range Wireless Experience

For the very first time in its relatively brief history as a tech firm, Nothing has introduced a second-generation product. The Nothing Ear 2 true wireless earbuds serve as the successor to the company’s inaugural offering, and they bear a striking similarity to the Nothing Ear 1 in both design and feel. With a price tag of Rs. 9,999 in India, the Nothing Ear 2 boasts significant enhancements in specifications and aims to deliver an improved overall experience concerning features and audio performance.

If you are currently using the Nothing Ear 1 (Review) and considering an upgrade, or even if you are simply in the market for a mid-range true wireless headset, the Nothing Ear 2 may have piqued your interest. There are notable updates in the new true wireless earphones that set it apart from its visually similar predecessor. Here’s what’s new with the Nothing Ear 2.

The Nothing Ear 2 is more compact

While the Nothing Ear 2 maintains a similar appearance to its forerunner, the charging case has been significantly reduced in both size and weight. This, however, results in a lower battery capacity of 485mAh, compared to the 570mAh of the Ear 1’s case. Nonetheless, Nothing asserts that optimizations made to the earbuds are expected to deliver comparable battery performance in this new model.

The earpieces of the Ear 2 are nearly identical in size to those of the Nothing Ear 1, but they introduce a major shift in the control mechanism. The Nothing Ear 2 features force-touch controls located on the stem, which can be personalized via the app. The squeeze actions are confirmed with a soft click sound, indicating that the gesture has been recognized by the earbuds. The earpieces come with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, and the case offers enhanced protection with an IP55 rating.
