While we are still tracking a $100 all-time low on the flagship Nothing Ear set, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is now ushering in holiday pricing on the more affordable and equally as impressive-looking Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds starting from $77.50 shipped. Coming by of the trusted seller Essential-Tech, this is a solid 22% off the regular $99 list price and matching the Prime Day pricing we tracked last year.
As I have said previously, I love the look of these things. The sort of cyberpunk meets retro cassette-era vibe with transparent stems on the buds and pops of color elsewhere is a real eye catcher for me. But they also pack a punch of the spec department for pair of buds at under $80.
The 2mm drivers with “double the power” of the previous set are joined by Nothing’s smart active noise cancellation – it “automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbud and your ear canal, then applies more noise cancellation to make up for it.” All of which sits alongside voice isolation tech to help with call clarity and 10 hours of onboard battery life that expands significantly to more like 42 hours after you factor in the included charging case.
The ChatGPT action for Nothing smartphone users is a nice touch too – “a first-of-its-kind integration, made for your Nothing ecosystem. Use your voice to access ChatGPT on Ear and Ear (a), wherever you are.”

Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds feature:
- Powerful 11 mm driver: We’ve made our driver even more compact. With double the power than Ear (2), Ear (a) delivers an even deeper bass performance. The extra space gives sound waves more room to vibrate. With two new vents, airflow is improved inside the bud. For less distortion and richer overall clarity
- Smart Active Noise Cancellation: Up to 45 dB,Nothing Ear (a) automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbud and your ear canal, then applies more noise cancellation to make up for it. So you receive the best possible noise cancellation. Happens every time you put them in. So you can go from quiet rooms to busy streets without hearing a thing (other than what’s playing)
- Clear Voice Technology: Clear as day. Ear (a) isolates your voice from everyday distractions so calls on-the-go feel like face-to-face conversations. With a new talk mic and extra airway on the stem for wind to pass through, we’ve reduced interference by 60% compared to Ear (2)
