Battery life emerges as the weakest aspect among buyers, with some reporting only 1–2 hours of usage despite the product's otherwise strong performance.
In their words
“The sound quality is amazing especially after the personalised sound profile setup on the nothing X app. The active noise cancellation and transparency mode are decent. I have been using these earphones since more than a year now and it is working perfectly fine and I have faced no issues till now. I got it for 7.6k and it has a good value for money.”

“After using these for more than a year I'm coming back here to write a review for you people. The sound quality is no doubt top notch but the battery backup is pathetic. I can't use them for more than 1-2hrs and the battery dies. Please don't buy these earphones as this issue has been faced by many buyers as i was reading in the review section. These earphones are not worth the price what i paid.”

Find your situation?
Made for some — wrong for others.
You want solid wireless earbuds without overpaying for a premium brand name.
Mid-range street price with high ratings across sound, ANC, comfort, and build quality; delivers flagship features at a fraction of premium competitor costs.
You love gear that sounds great and feels premium in hand and ear.
High marks for sound quality, comfort, and design; Nothing's minimalist aesthetic and audio focus appeal to design-conscious listeners who value sensory experience.
You want earbuds that work straight out of the box with minimal fuss.
Wireless earbuds with standard pairing and ANC controls; no unusual setup barriers, though ANC tuning may require app interaction for some users.
You want a proven, low-risk earbud choice with broad consensus backing.
572 buyer ratings show solid consensus (4.3/5), and Nothing has established credibility; however, newer entrant status means less long-term durability track record than legacy brands.
You demand the absolute best earbuds money can buy, with no compromises.
Strong 4.3/5 rating and top-tier sound/ANC/comfort, but battery life is flagged as low—a clear weakness that keeps it from true perfectionist territory. Consider AirPods Pro (2nd Generation).
You value prestige and want earbuds that signal taste and status.
Nothing is a newer, design-forward brand but lacks the heritage and established prestige of Apple, Bose, or Sony in the luxury earbud space. Consider AirPods Pro (2nd Generation).
