recently purchased the Nothing Ear (3) and I’m genuinely impressed. The sound quality is outstanding for this price range clean vocals, detailed mids, and punchy but controlled bass. Active Noise Cancellation works very well in daily environments like public transport and office settings. The transparent design is unique and feels premium, and the earbuds are comfortable enough to wear for hours w galaxus.ch

These are my favorite headphones and I've been using them since the gen 1 version. I travel to very poor countries a lot and these just survive everything, are reliable, have a long battery life, they stay in your ear. They don't have ANC, but they just naturally block out loud noises to where I can sleep on planes, and when I use them around turbines and jets or on loud worksites it just function random guy · JBL
