The Ear (1)'s features an unusual aesthetic that
displays some of their internal circuitry thanks to a transparent plastic
design, and each earbud includes a color-coded circle (red or white) to
indicate the corresponding ear. However, the Ear (1) buds' design choices
aren't exactly subtle. A stem hangs down from the large rectangular portions
that sit in the ear. They can withstand sweat and water splashes.
Nothing's hardware and software have both been
adjusted by Swedish electronics house Teenage Engineering, and they're fitted
with 11.6mm drivers. The earphones are quite light, weighing only 4.7 grams
each. The popular AirPods Pro weighs 5.4 grams each earbud, whereas Sony's
WF-1000XM4 weighs 7.4 grams per earpiece.

Transparency mode allows a blend of outside sound to
pass through, which is beneficial when you're at an office or on a busy street
and need situational awareness, while Clear Voice technology promises to reduce
background wind noise and other background noise during calls.
When used with the charging case, the earbuds have a
battery life of up to 34 hours, and with ANC turned off, the earbuds have a
battery life of 5.7 hours (dropping to 24 hours and four hours with ANC on,
respectively). They may be charged wirelessly or with a USB-C cable using
Qi-compatible chargers.
Tap and gesture controls are available on the Ear
(1)s, and they can be adjusted via a companion app that also handles EQ and
Find my Earbud features. They also have Bluetooth 5.2 and are IPX4 water-resistant. With compatible Android devices, fast pairing will be feasible.
The Ear (1) earbuds will be available to buy on
August 17th in 45 countries, including the United States and the United
Kingdom, for $99 / £99 / €99.
