After the Nothing Phone 2a, the brand is launching two new earbuds – the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) on April 18.
The London-based startup Nothing has been actively engaged in new ventures recently. Shortly after unveiling its inaugural budget smartphone under the ‘a’ brand, the company is now preparing to release a set of new earbuds with an unexpected twist.
Dubbed the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a), these two earbuds represent what the brand calls “the culmination of three years of design and innovation.” To showcase how far they’ve come, Nothing is even resetting its naming strategy. The two earbuds are set to make their debut on April 18.
If the previous naming convention had continued, we’d have gotten the Nothing Ear 3 on the same date. But just two iterations in, the company has already decided to ditch the flow.
Nothing hasn’t teased much beyond an image that shows what appears to be the stem of a single white earbud. From this tease, it’s unclear what design changes are in store this time around. As a design-focused hardware brand, the look of its products is a key selling point, but it remains to be seen if Nothing will also bring some new features to complement the slick designs this time.
The Nothing Ear is likely to be positioned as the next iteration of the Nothing Ear 2 and may be priced similarly – around ₦149,795k. Meanwhile, the Nothing Ear (a) will likely occupy a new, more affordable spot in the company’s ever-expanding lineup, much like the Nothing Phone 2a.
As is often the case with Nothing, details are slim at the moment. However, you can expect a series of teasers leading up to the launch, revealing more about the two devices bit by bit.
