Nothing Ear (3) B173 Wireless Earbuds

Details

The Nothing Ear (3) B173 builds on the brand’s legacy of innovation and iconic transparent design, combining premium sound, powerful noise cancellation, and sustainable craftsmanship. Equipped with custom 12 mm dynamic drivers and PMI + TPU diaphragms, they deliver Hi-Res certified audio with pristine clarity and a frequency range stretching from 20 Hz to 40 kHz. Tuned by Nothing, the addition of Static Spatial Audio ensures an immersive listening experience while Dynamic Bass Enhancement adapts in real time for deeper low-end impact. Supporting SBC, AAC, and LDAC codecs, they are perfect for music lovers seeking uncompromised sound quality.

Designed with real-time Adaptive ANC providing noise cancellation up to 45 dB and Transparency Mode for situational awareness, the Ear (3) is engineered for all-day practicality. Each bud weighs only 5.2 g, fits securely, and carries an IP54 dust and water resistance rating (buds and case). With up to 10 hours playback per charge (38 hours with the case, ANC off), a versatile charging case supporting both USB-C wired and Qi wireless charging, and quick-charging that provides 1 hour of playback on just 5 minutes charge, these are headphones that truly keep up with modern lifestyles. The Nothing X app unlocks advanced features such as custom EQ, personal sound profiles with Audiodo™, ear tip fit test, and customisable pinch controls, making the Ear (3) as intelligent as it is stylish. Sustainability is a core focus too, with 100% recycled aluminium in the case, plastic-free packaging, and Climate Pledge Friendly certification.

NOTE:
Due to health and hygiene reasons, headphones and some wearables can only be returned for a full refund if they are unopened within 30 days of purchase and are completely sealed or faulty.

For this reason, if you change your mind about your purchase of headphones or wearable product they must be completely unopened.
