Nothing Ear 2 Now Available at a Reduced Price in Nepal

The Nothing Ear 2, launched in March 2023, has already seen a notable price adjustment in the Nepalese market, now retailing for NPR 16,000, down from its original NPR 21,999. This earbuds model builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor, the Nothing Ear 1, introducing several enhancements that make it an appealing option for wireless audio enthusiasts.

Design and Durability

The Nothing Ear 2 retains a design similar to its predecessor but incorporates subtle physical refinements, such as a repositioned noise-cancelling microphone. Each bud weighs just 4.5 grams, with the charging case coming in at 51.8 grams. The case has been re-engineered with a more durable, pressure-resistant material. Both the earbuds and case boast improved water and dust resistance, earning IP54 and IP55 ratings respectively. The control scheme has also been updated from touch-based to press-based inputs to reduce unintended activations.

Audio Performance and Noise Cancellation

Audio quality sees an upgrade with the same 11.6mm driver used in the previous model, now enhanced with improved graphene and polyurethane materials. The earbuds support LHDC 5.0, enabling 24-bit Hi-Res audio, and allow users to fine-tune the sound through personalized profiles accessible via the Nothing X app. This app conducts a hearing test that adjusts the equalizer in real time for an optimized listening experience.

Noise cancellation remains a strong point, with the Ear 2 capable of blocking up to 40dB of ambient noise. The new adaptive ANC system automatically switches between three profiles based on surrounding noise levels and the unique shape of each user’s ears. A Transparency Mode is also included, allowing ambient sounds to pass through when needed.

Connectivity and Smart Features

Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.3, with support for dual-device pairing, enabling seamless switching between two connected devices. The earbuds are compatible with Google Fast Pair for Android and Microsoft Swift Pair for Windows devices, facilitating quick connections. A Low Lag Mode is available when paired with the Nothing Phone 1, improving synchronization for media and gaming. Additional features include in-ear detection and a Find My Earbuds function for easy tracking.

Battery Life

Powering the Nothing Ear 2 are a 33mAh battery in each bud and a larger 485mAh battery in the charging case. With noise cancellation turned off, users can expect up to 6.3 hours of playback from a single charge, extendable to 36 hours through the case. With ANC enabled, playback time drops to approximately 4 hours per charge but still reaches up to 22.5 hours with full recharging. The earbuds support both USB-C wired charging and 2.5W Qi wireless charging.
