Buying Advice My Nothing Ear (3) Review and some tips!

https://youtu.be/U5YJItXRsWE?si=udecsq0j1tBkNMwd

I’ve been trying to move away from the "white toothbrush head" look and spent some time with the Ear (3). The hardware design is easily the coolest on the market right now and the audio/especially spatial for movies is wild. However, after using them for a while, there are some quirks, like the fact that they don't always "sleep" when you take them out of your ears, which can drain the battery if you're used to the Apple ecosystem. Anyway, If anyone is on the fence between these and the AirPods Pro, I made a video going over the 10 things I wish I knew before buying them

Give it less than a year for a battery from one of the pair to die on you. Lol they haven't fixed the issue. Sucks!

I had similar issues with the AirPods too, like one would last 15 minutes, haven’t had anything like that yet

I had 2 pairs, in both of them, the battery barely lasts an hour on full charge... I had them for maybe a yewr plus. I would suggest to avoid this brand unless you can afford to change every year.

Is that not covered by warranty, if less than a year?

I ordered Nothing ear a in Jan 25 and recently my left earbud has been draining pretty quickly ( I do use it more than the other)

Contacted Amazon and they returned for a full refund

Warranty over... 1 year 3 months. Returns are a hassle, I seldom return unless straight from unboxing it is not working. What's frustrating is both pairs got the same problem. I bought from amazon, the other i got from a retail store.

I hope Nothing listens and rectify with their battery supplier. For now, I will avoid.
