Overview
- Leaked marketing images published by retailers and reported by multiple outlets show the Ear 3a with Nothing’s transparent charging case and four finishes: black, white, yellow and pink.
- Listings claim 12mm dynamic drivers and support for LDAC and Hi‑Res Audio Wireless, which allow higher-bit-rate Bluetooth streaming for compatible phones and headphones.
- A highlighted touch area on the earbud stem is said to let users trigger call recording and capture short audio snapshots, a control not seen on Nothing’s earlier models.
- Retail reports place the Ear 3a at about €99, positioning it as a budget successor to the Ear (a) and raising questions about regional pricing, availability and which premium features will be kept.
- Nothing has scheduled a joint product event for Tuesday where the company is expected to confirm full specifications, official pricing and whether the earbuds include active noise cancellation.
