Nothing has unveiled its latest TWS, the Nothing Ear 3, in select global markets. The earbuds arrive with a Super Mic feature built into the charging case, real-time adaptive ANC up to 45dB, and an impressive 38-hour playback time. With AI-powered noise reduction and high-resolution audio support, the Ear 3 aims to redefine wireless listening.
Super Mic For Clearer Calls
More Read
The standout addition is the Super Mic inside the charging case. It can cancel noise up to 95dB and works instantly when the Talk button is pressed. This means clearer calls even in noisy environments. Users can also record voice notes directly from the case, which syncs with Essential Space on Nothing OS devices and even auto-transcribes.
Each earbud packs three directional microphones along with a bone-conduction voice pick-up unit. Together, they deliver precise voice capture while AI noise cancellation cuts wind noise by 25dB.
Powerful Adaptive Noise Cancellation
The Nothing Ear 3 supports real-time adaptive ANC that blocks up to 45dB of external noise. It adjusts every 600 milliseconds based on your environment and even detects leakage from the ear fit every 1,875 milliseconds.
With upgraded 12mm dynamic drivers and a new patterned diaphragm, the sound profile is stronger. Bass gets a 4–6dB boost, treble is 4dB clearer, and mids sound richer. The result is a wider soundstage with better clarity across all frequencies.
Connectivity And Controls
The earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC codec for high-resolution audio. Latency drops under 120ms, making them ideal for gaming and videos.
They pair seamlessly with Android (Fast Pair), Windows (Swift Pair), and iOS devices. Users can also customise controls and integrate ChatGPT functions using the Nothing X app.
Battery And Charging
Each earbud carries a 55mAh battery, providing up to 10 hours of playback. With the charging case, you get up to 38 hours in total.
A 10-minute charge via USB Type-C delivers up to 10 hours of playback, while wireless charging is also supported.
Nothing Ear 3 Premium Transparent Design
The transparent casing with metal accents continues Nothing’s signature design. It houses a 0.35mm MIM antenna that boosts power by 15% and improves signal sensitivity by 20%.
The charging case is made of 100% recycled aluminium using nano injection moulding. Both the earbuds and case carry an IP54 rating, making them resistant to dust and water.
