Nothing Ear (1) new black edition was announced. The lightweight true wireless earbuds has kept its distinctive transparent case, whilst featuring a new smoky finish and a matte black colourway of the silicone earbuds and internal casing. With up to 34 hours playtime with the case, a powerful 11.6mm driver and leading specs including Active Noise Cancellation, the RM499 Nothing ear (1) black limited edition has the same full feature set as the highly-rated original ear (1).

Additionally, the London-based consumer tech brand has confirmed that ear (1) is now carbon neutral. Nothing worked with internationally recognised third parties, like Geneva-headquartered SGS, to independently assess and neutralise the carbon footprint of the first product in its ecosystem. The 1.78kg carbon footprint of ear (1) will be revealed on a new packaging label, which the company hopes will empower users to make better informed purchases.
“Nothing is here to make a positive difference. Our newly carbon neutral ear (1) is the first step in our journey to sustainability,”
“With ear (1) we’ve proven that new ideas, from design to distribution, can resonate with users and bring back the sense of excitement that’s been lacking in our industry. We hope this black edition raises a few more eyebrows in the months to come and that more tech brands add carbon transparency labelling to their products.” Carl Pei, CEO and Co-founder of Nothing
Besides, Nothing has partnered with Crossover Malaysia to release the new ear (1) Black Edition. Crossover – A premium sneaker and lifestyle store that believes in individualism and strives to breathe in new culture.
Before the official sales, pre-sale of the ear (1) black edition will only be available exclusively at the Crossover Online, Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley Store from 8 December 2021. Stock will be limited and available on a first come first serve basis.

Nothing ear (1) specifications:
Pure sound: The ear (1) black is precisely tuned to deliver rich, immersive sound. Teenage Engineering dialled in the software and hardware for advanced bass, mid, and treble performance, with a 11.6mm driver and spacious air chamber.
Sweat and water splash resistant: Each earbud features a composite mesh design for improved sweat and water resistance with an IPX4 rating.
State-of-the-art noise cancellation: There’s not one but three Active Noise Cancellation settings to bring your sound into sharp focus. Use Light mode for moderate noise cancellation and Maximum mode for noisier environments, like on an airplane or at the office. When you’re ready to let the world back in, activate Transparency mode.

The algorithms use what they have learned to cancel out surrounding noise for remarkable voice accuracy and clarity.
