The well-thought-out in-ear offers good ANC, a clear mobile app and simple operation for 100 euros. The sound is also surprising for this price range.

      Ultimately, the price is the deciding factor for buying the Nothing Ear (1) because they come with premium features like ANC and wireless charging in this price segment. The good but not great sound and battery life can still compete with other mid-range headphones. At most, the bugs and the unusual design could speak against a purchase.

      This in-ear delivered a respectable performance in all areas in the test. For this price, the Nothing Ear (1) is a real no-brainer.
