ENC stands for Environmental Noise Cancellation. It is specially tuned to remove unwanted background noise while using the microphone for calls. For your microphone, ENC ensures others won't hear your background noise when speaking.

There are EQ settings: BALANCED, BASS, TREBLE, and VOICE. You can also set custom effects based on your preferences. Get the Nothing X app to try more options.

Ear (3) uses Bluetooth 5.4.

The earbuds will automatically power off after 60 minutes of inactivity when not connected and not worn (the duration may vary between different products). To restore functionality, place the earbuds back into the charging case. If the earbuds are fully charged and left unused, they will enter a timeout shutdown mode after 2 minutes.

Yes, Ear (3) has a customisable EQ.

Yes, Ear (3) supports low latency mode. When used with a Nothing Phone, the latency can be less than 120ms under Game Mode.

The earbuds will charge until the charging case falls below 5% battery. However, when the charging case is nearly out of battery, the indicator LED will not display, and the charging case button will be unresponsive. In such cases, please recharge the charging case promptly.

Smart ANC generates optimised noise-cancelling, monitoring the earphones' wearing status, external noise leakage, and surrounding environmental noise changes in real time. It runs automatically, adapting dynamically based on usage conditions.

To ensure Smart ANC works, check that:
1. ANC is enabled (ANC ON) after wearing the earphones, either via the app or touch controls.
2. The surrounding noise level are above 65dB for noticeable noise-cancelling improvement.

If the above conditions are not met, the Smart ANC noise cancellation mode will not be activated.

If you experience variations in noise-cancelling performance, re-insert the earphones or adjust their fit angle under the above conditions.

Static Spatial Audio creates a three-dimensional sound effect, making the audio appear to come from a fixed position in front of the device. When you turn your head, the perceived direction of the sound remains unchanged. Compared to traditional stereo sound, it provides a more immersive and realistic listening experience with a stronger sense of presence.

They are dustproof microphone mesh covers, designed to protect the microphones from dust and debris.

Ear (3) features Bass Enhancement, an algorithm that detects low-frequency signals in music in real time and enhances the bass perception dynamically. It strengthens the bass while maintaining overall sound quality, delivering deeper and more impactful low frequencies. Users can customise the intensity of Bass Enhancement according to their listening preferences through the Nothing X app for a personalized high-definition bass experience.

More settings are available in the Nothing X app.

The ear tip fit test assesses your hearing and generates a personalised dynamic audio compensation plan. This ensures you hear the clearest possible sound details tailored to your ear canal.

Yes, Ear (3) supports in-ear detection.

Super Mic is a built-in microphone inside the charging case. Users can easily switch between the earphones’ microphone and the charging case microphone (Super Mic) using the TALK button . Because the charging case microphone is closer to the mouth, it ensures industry-leading voice clarify.

In Walkie-Talkie mode during calls, the earphones and Super Mic will automatically mute when the user does not press the call button on the charging case. Pressing the call button immediately unmutes Super Mic, and the call is conducted solely through Super Mic. Once the call ends, the device returns to default.
Walkie-Talkie mode can be enabled in the Nothing X app settings. When enabled, the device will automatically switch to Walkie-Talkie mode upon answering incoming calls.

A Personal Sound Profile allows you to tailor your listening experience to how you hear. With a brief hearing test, you can fine-tune the sound with an 8-band equaliser, allowing precise adjustment of each frequency range, from bass to treble.

Adaptive Mode monitors the noisiness of your environment and adjusts the noise cancellation accordingly.

Ear (3) can be paired with up to 6 devices.

The earbuds sit in a plastic casing, the ear tips are silicone, and the earbuds also feature aluminum alloy and stainless steel components. The plastic shell is made from high-quality materials that offer durable UV resistance and excellent impact resistance.

Yes, you can use a single earbud, but both buds will have to have been paired initially before you can switch to just one.
