If you're looking for a no-frills pair of truly wireless earbuds that focus solely on audio quality and convenience like the first generation AirPods, you're in luck. The Nothing Ear (Stick) earphones, known for their unique transparent design, can now be had for half of their original price – making them a real steal.
Launched in late 2022 by tech brand Nothing, the Ear (Stick) drew attention instantly with their unusual lipstick-inspired carrying case and visible internal components through transparent housing. Over a year later, their striking look remains as the earbuds continue to stand out from the crowd. Weighing only 4 grams each, their comfy on-ear design and splashing resistance thanks to IP54 rating make them ideal for daily use on the go.
What's more, the 12.6mm drivers inside pump out balanced yet bass-heavy sound through the Nothing X app's equalizer settings. Controls mounted on the earbud stems allow convenient playback and call management without dislodging them. Despite missing active noise cancellation, the Ear (Stick) provide decent sound isolation. Call quality is top-notch too, with their strong Bluetooth connection keeping voice clear even in separate rooms.
At less than Rs. 4,000 now instead of Rs. 8,500, the Nothing Ear (Stick) truly shine as a no-frills option. They accomplish the simple goal of audio and connectivity without bells and whistles, just like the original AirPods did. For those not fussed about additional features and just wanting good quality sound on a budget, this minimalistic headset could be the closest thing to classic Apple earphones. Act fast though, as it's rumored newer audio products may make these scarce soon.
