Nothing Ear (a) review: Proof you don't need expensive earbuds

Striking looks, stunning sound. The Nothing Ear (a) are a model for what affordable earbuds are capable of.

(Image credit: Tshaka Armstrong)For $99, these Bluetooth 5.3 TWS earbuds also include multipoint pairing, in-ear detection, a low latency mode, and an ear tip fit test. Still, the most important aspect of a pair of Bluetooth TWS earbuds is how they sound, and with Hi-Res Audio LDAC support, coupled with Nothing's tuning and driver architecture, the Ear (a) delivers a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience and looks rather fetching while doing so. Hi-res audio support, multipoint pairing, delightful sonics, dozens of fun and functional design choices, and 10 minutes for 10 hours of rapid charging make the Nothing Ear (a) easy to recommend.
