SoundGuys says voices sound slightly muffled and the background noise reduction is among the best it has heard, with wind handled better than most earbuds. RTINGS rates the microphone decent and says the voice is intelligible but not true-to-life.22Reviewsoundguys.com/nothing-ear-review-114404Read 23 October 2026Written review and demos in ideal, office, street, wind and reverberant conditions.26Measurementrtings.com/headphones/reviews/nothing/ear-truly-wirelessRead 23 October 2026Public verdict text.
