Nothing Ear (2) gets launched, costs CAD 199

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.

Nothing Ear (2) to get LHDC Audio 5.0, IP54 rating

Ahead of the March 22 launch, Nothing CEO Carl Pei revealed some new details about Nothing Ear (2). The new earbuds will support LHDC 5.0 (Low Latency HD Audio Codec), which means certified hi-res audio will play in its full glory. This codec streams higher-quality audio over Bluetooth. According to Pei, he contacted Spotify to update their library to LHDC. These buds will also have an IP54 rating, which is limited ingress protection against dust particles and water splashes.

Nothing teases Ear (2) earbuds launch on March 22

Nothing is gearing up to release its next pair of wireless earbuds. The company has an event scheduled for 10 AM ET for the Ear (2). The company claims on its site that the Ear (2)'s will have "Better sound. Better clarity." and just be "better overall." We can supposedly expect a "mighty refinement."

From the looks of it, the Nothing Ear (2) earbuds will feature the same transparent aesthetic as the other Nothing devices. Right now, the company has three products out. We're fairly confident we'll hear more about these buds leading up to the debut as Nothing's founder Carl Pei has a penchant for drip-feeding information about products, as he's done with OnePlus in the past.
