Nothing Ear (3a) Launches July 7: Budget Earbuds in Four Colors at €99
Nothing officially confirmed the Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 alongside the Nothing Phone (4b). The budget earbuds come in White, Black, Yellow, and a new Pink option at approximately €99. The Ear (3a) drops the Super Mic feature but adds wireless charging to the case.
Featured Product
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
Blade-style premium earbuds with Galaxy AI features — real-time translation, adaptive ANC, and 360 Audio with head tracking.
Starting At
$125
Nothing has officially confirmed the Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST alongside the Nothing Phone (4b). Pre-registration is open on Nothing's website. The budget earbuds arrive in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and a new Pink.
What You Get (and What You Lose)
At an expected €99 (~$109), the Ear (3a) sits below the premium Ear (3). The trade-off: the "Super Mic" noise-cancellation feature from the Ear (3) is dropped to hit the lower price. However, the charging case reportedly gains wireless charging — a feature missing from some competitors at this price.
The Competition
At under $110, the Ear (3a) competes directly with the Apple AirPods 4 at $99 (currently on sale), the Pixel Buds Pro 2 at $159, and Samsung Galaxy Buds FE. Nothing's transparent design and ChatGPT integration remain key differentiators. Compare all options in our earbuds guide.
