The verdict

The Nothing Ear 1 is worthy of consideration for anyone seeking affordable wireless earbuds. Nothing nails all the essentials for a true wireless earbud: good sound, active noise cancellation, and a comfortable fit. While some high-end features like aptX support and extensive EQ customization are missing, most people won't notice or care about these absences. For people on a budget, the Nothing Ear 1 makes for a great option.

✓What we like
✓Multiple noise cancellation modes

✕What could be better
