Nothing Ear (3) Goes Official with Super Mic and Hi-Res Audio

After lots of teasing, Nothing has finally launched its next TWS, the Nothing Ear (3). The earbuds arrive with better noise cancellation and a revamped design. Besides, they also bring a new Super Mic feature and support Hi-Res audio.

Nothing Ear (3) specifications and features

With the Nothing Ear (3), the firm is bringing back its numerical naming, ditching last year's yearly naming scheme. The earbuds feature 12 mm Dynamic Drivers that deliver 24-bit Hi-Res audio via the LDAC codec. Besides the new metal antennae inside the earbuds, the case is also made out of aluminium to offer better rigidity and a premium feel.

One of the new features is Super Mic, which uses two new microphones on the charging case. The feature uses beam-forming technology and can cancel out up to 95dB of noise.

Super Mic can be activated with a dedicated button on the case, and double-pressing it keeps the feature active until users turn it off.

Nothing also claims the earbuds now offer better sound quality and feature a new bone conduction unit to better cancel out outside noise. Besides, they also feature Adaptive Noise Cancellation that can cancel out audio by up to 45dB.

The earbuds also feature bigger 55mAh batteries, while the battery in the case has been bumped to 500mAh. The firm promises up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge, and up to 38 hours with the case.

Nothing claims the Ear (3) can charge in 70 minutes. Besides, they're IP54 rated and boast support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair.

Nothing Ear (3) price and availability

The Nothing Ear (3) arrives in two colours – Black and White, and costs 179 pounds (approximately Rs 21,000). We don't know the India pricing yet or if the earbuds will make it to the shores at all.

Buyers in Europe can pre-order Ear (3) starting September 18, 2025, and the earbuds will go on sale starting September 25, 2025.
