For one, Nothing’s design team decided that to make yellow work, everything had to be glossy (previous earbuds like the Ear 2 used a mixture of matte and shiny plastic).

Nothing’s Ear and Ear (a) earbuds have comprehensively leaked online. The leak outlines specs and pricing, while also revealing renders. The Nothing Ear (a) could start at just ~$100.

The Ear (a) will feature an IP54 rating for the earbuds and an IP55 rating for the case. The higher-end Ear earbuds, meanwhile, will carry an IP54 rating, while the case gets IPX2 splash resistance.

As an owner of the Nothing Ear 1 model, I’m sure these will sound even better than the first-gen design. But what attracts me more than the new Nothing Ear is the yellow Nothing Ear A.
