FAQ: Frequently Asked Question
Nothing Ear (3) — FAQ
What is Nothing Ear (3)? What’s new vs earlier models?
Ear (3) are Nothing’s 2025 true-wireless earbuds with Wi-Fi 7-era friendly features like LDAC Hi-Res audio, upgraded 12 mm dynamic drivers, real-time adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint, and a redesigned case that adds a “Super Mic” (push-to-talk) for clearer voice pickup. Aluminium accents and the transparent design return.
How long does the battery last?
Typical figures: up to ~5.5–6 hours listening with ANC on per charge and ~22 hours with the case; with ANC off, up to ~10 hours per charge and ~38 hours with the case. Results vary by volume, codec, and features used.
Does the case support fast/wireless charging?
Yes. The case supports Qi wireless charging. A quick top-up via USB-C is also supported (Nothing quotes up to ~10 hours playback from a 10-minute charge under set test conditions).
What audio codecs are supported?
LDAC, AAC, and SBC. (Ear (3) drops LHDC that the 2024 “Ear” model offered; if you need LHDC specifically, check device support.)
Is there multipoint? Will it work with iPhone and Android?
Yes — Bluetooth multipoint lets you stay connected to two devices at once (e.g., laptop + phone). Works with both iOS and Android; Android users also get fast pairing.
How good is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency?
Ear (3) uses adaptive ANC that adjusts in real time, plus a Transparency mode. It’s effective for commuting and calls; results depend on fit, tip size, and environment.
What is the “Super Mic” and how do I use it?
The charging case has a dedicated Super Mic with a talk button for clearer voice capture in noisy places (calls, voice notes). Open the case near your mouth and press the button to engage; performance depends on positioning and surroundings.
Are they water/sweat resistant?
Yes — rated IP54 on the earbuds (and commonly listed as IP54 on the case). Good for workouts and rain, but not for swimming or showers.
Do they have spatial audio and low-latency gaming modes?
Yes — fixed Spatial Audio and a Low-Lag mode (auto on with Nothing phones; toggle in the Nothing X app for others).
Which app controls the earbuds?
The Nothing X app (iOS/Android) provides firmware updates, pinch-control mapping, ANC/transparency, an advanced EQ, hearing-personalisation, and multipoint toggles.
What’s in the box?
Ear (3) earbuds, wireless-charging case, USB-C cable, multiple eartip sizes, quick start guide, and safety info.
Troubleshooting: I can’t hit top speeds on LDAC / battery drains fast.
Use the latest firmware and app, switch to LDAC only when needed (it draws more power), try a tighter seal (bigger tips), and keep volume under ~70%. For call clarity, use the Super Mic button with the case close to your mouth.
