It's difficult to review earbuds that don't come with ear tips that allow me to get a tight seal because that's fundamentally a serious problem for effective noise cancellation. I do happen to have access to a lot of other ear tips for testing, though. So while most people shouldn't have a problem getting proper noise isolation with the included tips, I suspect some people will.

At the end of the day, the Nothing Ear and Ear (a) are great-sounding headphones, and I would in no way question anyone who decides to buy them amid the sea of competitors. I like a lot of buds that fall into the $150 price range, from the likes of Beats, Jabra, Samsung, and Sony. This is where Nothing's design language makes its case.

The Nothing Ear have a lot going for them but are hamstrung by noise cancellation that completely changes how they sound.

These make a great argument for themselves as the best-value earbuds in 2024. You’d typically have to pay far more for the sound quality, personalisation features, noise-cancelling and compact design available from the Nothing Ear. The stylish buds are a further refinement of the Nothing Ear (2) that deliver appreciable upgrades to the audio experience, noise-cancelling and battery life.
