Nothing's second-generation Ear (2) wireless earbuds have officially launched. And they don't stray too far design-wise from their predecessor. The improvements are more on the internals, including connectivity and setup. The case is smaller and slimmer, and Nothing claims it's harder to scratch and damage than the Ear (1). The earbuds are IP54 rated, while the charging case is IP55 (which we don't get often). It only comes in white for now, though.

The company rearranged the microphones and antennae inside the buds to improve connectivity and stability, which was an issue some users reported in the original earbuds. The new mic position allows these buds to reduce wind noise on calls. Nothing says it improved sound detail with polyurethane components for clearer low frequencies and graphene for brighter highs. These buds also feature a dual chamber design for a wider soundstage. 

The Ear (2) will be compatible with Hi-res audio at launch and are compatible with the LHDC 5.0 codec, as we learned earlier. These buds offer three levels of active noise cancellation alongside a personalized ANC profile calibrated for your hearing.

The Nothing Ear (2) is available for CAD 199, which you can order now with shipping expected to start on March 24.
