€149

If you like your ear buds to stand out from the crowd, the Nothing Ear (2) are worth a look. The second generation of the company’s ear buds keep some of the familiar design, such as the transparent casing that allows you to see the components inside, while updating the technology. They are still ultra-light, but now boast a powerful 11.6mm custom driver with a dual chamber design that helps pick out every detail in the music. The Ear (2) are Hi-Res Audio Certified, and have active noise cancellation. You can set up your own sound profile too, to tune the audio to your own requirements, and overall you’ll get up to 36 hours of listening time.
