You can usually always find a pair of cheap earbuds at some retailer or another, but finding ones that don’t sacrifice audio quality or overall design can be tougher. Right now, Amazon has cut the price of the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds by 46% as part of its Big Spring Sale, bringing the buds down to just $59 from their normal price of $109.
While these wireless earbuds are known for their low price tag, they still boast pretty solid audio quality, a comfortable fit with a stalked, Airpod-like design, and a charging case that’ll yield enough battery life that you’ll rarely have to go out of your way to charge them. In particular, we absolutely loved the Yellow configuration when we reviewed these, though the discount is also available for the earbuds in both Black and White.
✅Recommended if: you’re in need of decent-sounding wireless earbuds for around $60, and you also want access to things like hi-res audio, a charging case, ANC, and more; you like having earbuds that feature fast charging speeds; you need earbuds with a low latency mode for high-paced activities such as gaming.
❌Skip this deal if: you’re looking for earbuds with industry-leading audio quality and you have the budget to spend extra on some of the best wireless earbuds out there, especially when it comes to having top-tier ANC and battery life; you prefer earbuds that don’t come with a set of silicone ear tips; you’d rather go with wireless over-ear headphones than earbuds.
The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds offer a more affordable take on the big sibling Ear earbuds. Still, they come with a pretty good audio profile overall, active noise cancellation, and a long-lasting battery that would make most surprised that these go for as low as they do.
When utilizing the charging case in between listens, these earbuds can offer up to 42.5 hours of playtime. On a single charge, the Ear (a) earbuds offer up to 10 hours of playback when not using ANC, while charging replenishes around two hours of battery life with just a 10-minute charge.
