If you hurry, you can slash a whopping 70 bucks (or 37 percent) off the regular $189 price listed on Amazon for these brand-new open-ear buds, although in the spirit of full disclosure, it’s important to point out that the same product is officially priced at $149 outside of any promotional campaigns on its manufacturer’s US website.
Still, what matters is you can already get the Nothing Ear (Open) at a nice discount (be it of $70 or $30), especially given that the company founded by Carl Pei just a few years back is not actually shipping the unique-looking earbuds yet even if you have 150 bucks to spend.
The sound experience is entirely different from what you normally get from a “normal” pair of wireless earbuds, with Nothing’s primary goal being to “(open) your world” without drowning out anything that’s happening around you. In other words, you will still be able to hear the birds singing and the bus drivers arguing with the jaywalkers while you listen to your favorite tunes in… decent enough quality. And no, active noise cancellation is obviously not part of the deal.
