Nothing’s new earbuds record calls and your audio
▼ Summary
– Nothing has launched the Ear 3A wireless earbuds at $99, the same price as the original Ear (a), despite adding new features.
– The earbuds introduce the ability to record audio directly on the device, a feature similar to the higher-end Nothing Ear 3.
– The Ear 3A is not part of Nothing’s budget sub-brand CMF but is sold through the company’s online store.
– The $99 price point is notable as price increases are becoming common in the tech industry.
Nothing has unveiled its latest offering in the budget wireless earbud market, and it’s not coming from its more affordable CMF sub-brand. The new Nothing Ear 3A earbuds are available starting today directly through the company’s online store for $99. That price is identical to what the original Nothing Ear (a) cost at launch, which is a welcome surprise at a time when price hikes are increasingly common across the tech industry.
What makes this pricing even more notable is the feature set. The Ear 3A introduces a capability that lets you record audio directly on the earbuds, capturing whatever you are listening to. This functionality echoes the Nothing Ear 3 released last September, which featured a wireless charging case with upgraded microphones. The new model, however, brings that recording ability into a more accessible price bracket.
The earbuds also arrive in a fresh pink color option, adding a vibrant choice for buyers. While preserving the core affordability that made the original Ear (a) popular, Nothing is clearly aiming to deliver more advanced features without raising the cost. For consumers watching their budgets but wanting improved functionality, the Ear 3A could be a compelling option in a crowded market.
