Nothing as a company seems keen on taking over from Apple after it unveiled its new product, Nothing Ear 1 true wireless earphone.

Ear 1 has almost all the features you need from a pair of wireless earbuds as it can easily be compared with AirPods Pro.

However, Nothing Ear 1 is trying so hard to top the ladder by being a cheaper alternative to AirPods Pro. You might want to ask, is Nothing Ear (1) the same as Apple’s AirPods Pro? In terms of features, Ear (1) is quite similar to AirPods Pro as it seems Nothing got its inspiration from Apple.

Connected App

Airpods Pro does not make use of any app but works only with IOS, thus neglecting Android users. This is not the case for Ear (1) as its App works with any kind of phone. Though, the notable properties of AirPods pro cannot be underestimated as it has fast pairing ability, can switch between multiple Apple devices, voice controls, audio personalization, spatial audio support, and the ability to listen to Siri reading your notifications to you.

Ear (1) is also not missing out in this aspect as it has some juicy features as well. It uses Android Fast Pair and its Ear (1) App offers touch control customization and a handful of EQ presets.

You can also make use of the Find My Earbuds feature when you misplace them. The feature forces both buds to emit a high-pitched beep loud enough to help you find your buds.

 Design

The two buds might look different but they have the same feel. They have almost the same identical oval shape that makes them comfortable in the ear. The two have replaceable in-ear tips and stems as well. While Apple’s stem is obviously white, Ear (1) is designed with a rare aesthetic look that makes it stand out. Ear (1) has a transparent plastic casing that shows the circuitry inside it.

The two buds both meet the IPX4 standard splash-proofing and sweat resistance.

 Price

The price gap between the two buds is really wide. AirPods Pro costs over 160 USD but Nothing Ear (1) is just 99 USD. We can choose to describe Ear (1) as a cheaper version of AirPods Pro because of the almost similar features. The only downside to this is that Ear (1) can only be purchased at Nothing because the company chose to be the sole seller of the earbuds but that should not be a restriction.

With these comparisons and features highlighted, you should be able to choose the best wireless earphones that suit you.

 So, let’s know, Ear (1) or AirPods Pro, which do you prefer?
