The Ear 1s from Nothing made quite the splash when they were announced. It costs US$99 and features active noise cancellation, a wireless charging case, and IPX4 water resistance. That’s a potent combination in the world of true wireless earbuds. Locally, the Ear 1s will retail for $179, though. That’s the Singapore tax for you.
The Ear 1s have an unconventional transparent aesthetic. You can see through the stems and peek at the circuitry, sensors, and magnets. The buds themselves closely resemble Apple’s AirPods Pro. They have an in-ear design, a stubby rectangular stem, and a somewhat bulbous enclosure.
Fit wasn’t an issue. I found them to be snug, comfy, and could easily wear them for hours. Of course, your mileage may vary. I like how the right earbud has a small red dot and the left earbud has a small white dot to help owners tell quickly which earbud should go into which ear.
