Nothing Ear (open) is highlighted in a bold sports campaign
The open-backed headphones are designed for exercise and situations where you want to stay aware of your surroundings. They are available in white and a new blue color.
The Nothing Ear (open) headphones have been reintroduced in the Wear Nothing campaign, which uses dancers, runners and other athletes to illustrate the lightness and open listening experience. Theo Sion's minimalist shots focus on the body and movement, while the headphones are left almost unnoticeable.
This is not a completely new headphone model, as the Ear (open) was originally released in the fall of 2024. As a 2026 update, a blue color version has been added to the range, which is also highlighted in the new campaign. The open structure allows the environment to be heard.
Ear (open) is based on Nothing's Open Sound Technology solution. When using the headphones, the ear canal is not closed, but sounds from traffic, the gym and other surroundings can be heard alongside the music.
The solution can be particularly useful when exercising outdoors and commuting, but at the same time, the limitations of the open design should be taken into account. In strong background noise, the separation of the content being listened to may be impaired compared to closed headphones.
The headphones are designed to stay in place with a flexible silicone earhook that fits around the ear. The material has been chosen to be sweat-resistant and reduce slipping during exercise. Each earbud weighs 8,1 grams and measures 41,4 × 51,3 × 14,4 millimeters.
The charging case has an exceptionally wide and shallow design, measuring 44 × 125,9 × 19 millimeters and weighing 63,8 grams.
The Nothing X app controls sound and control
The Nothing X app, available for Android and iOS, lets you use a versatile equalizer, share preset sound profiles, and change the headphones' controls. It also lets you find lost headphones, manage the connection between two devices, and install firmware updates.
Low latency mode is specifically designed for gaming and video content. With a compatible Nothing phone, latency can be reduced to as low as 120 milliseconds, according to the manufacturer.
The package includes two earphones, a charging case, a USB-C cable, a user manual, and safety and warranty information.
