Nothing Ear 1 specifications and features
Coming to the details, the Nothing Ear 1 has a see-through outer casing that reveals the insides of the earphones and its charging case is also transparent. The Nothing Ear 1 TWS feature active noise cancellation with two levels of intensity to control the level. There is also a transparency mode for hearing your surroundings.
Battery life on the Nothing Ear 1 is claimed to be up to 5.7 hours per charge on the earpieces, and up to 34 hours in total with the case — that is five additional charges from the case. For charging, the Nothing Ear 1 case relies on USB Type-C and Qi wireless charging, with the earpieces latching on magnetically to draw power from the battery in the case. Fast charging through USB Type-C is supported with a 10-minute charge claimed to deliver up to 8 hours of listening time.
The Nothing Ear 1 feature 11.6mm dynamic drivers designed and developed in collaboration with Sweden-based Teenage Engineering. For connectivity, there is Bluetooth 5.2, with support for SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs. The earpieces feature touch controls for playback, noise cancellation/ transparency modes, as well as volume controls.
The controls and noise cancellation intensity settings can be toggled and customised through the Ear 1 app, which is available for iOS and Android. Additional features in the app include equaliser settings, fast pairing, and firmware updates, as well as in-ear detection that plays and pauses the music when the earpieces are put into the ears and removed, respectively.
