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

I love these head phones. I use them for various activities, running, walking and they fit well, are comfortable, stay in and sound great. The button control on the headphones are easy to use. The head phones have a choice of 3 sound types, music, podcasts and bass boost. Another great feature is the stay aware mode, which keeps the music at the same level, but amplifies surrounding sounds too, wh LisaC · argos.co.uk
