The wireless headphone market has grown notably since Apple launched the AirPods and subsequently with the advent of the AirPods Pro, And along the way, a lot of brands have shown that they can do things fairly well at reasonable prices, like Huawei.
Carl Pei, former founder of OnePlus, launches Ear (1) headphones under the Nothing brand, with the aim of offering good value for money.
These new Ear headphones (1) are delivered with Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connection, active noise cancellation (ANC), IPX4 water resistance and a box with wireless charging and USB-C port, without having to pay a single euro more. Unfortunately, at the moment “quick pairing” or assisted pairing will only be compatible with Android devices, remember that Carl Pei is a lover of this operating system.
For noise cancellation they bet on three microphones and we found three different modes: Máximo, Light and a kind of Transparency, so as not to disconnect completely from the outside.
In theory, they will offer nearly six hours of battery life with active noise cancellation turned off and around 34 hours in total if you have the loads offered by the case. In the event that we activate the noise cancellation, we will have about 3 hours of battery life, 24 in total if we have the charges out of the box.
Obviously they will have their application to adjust the equalization, the “Search” option and software updates. In terms of hearing aids, we have 11.6 millimeter transducers tuned by the Swedish company Teenage Engineering. ANDThe price will be 99 dollars and will reach 45 different countries on August 17th.
