Our take on the Nothing Ear 3 (B173) Wireless Earbuds

The Nothing Ear 3 (B173) is a true wireless earbud with 12 mm custom dynamic drivers, adaptive ANC rated to cut noise by up to 45 dB, and LDAC support for high-resolution audio. It pairs over Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint for two devices at once, and Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair speed up setup. Battery life runs up to 10 hours per charge and up to 38 hours with the case, which puts it among the longer-lasting ANC earbuds. It suits listeners who want strong noise cancelling, hi-res codecs and long runtime, and it competes with flagship ANC earbuds on features rather than on a stripped-down design.

About the Nothing Ear 3 (B173) Wireless Earbuds

The Nothing Ear (3) are true wireless in-ear earbuds with an ergonomic fit. They use custom 12 mm dynamic drivers for balanced sound with deep bass, clear mids and crisp highs. They support LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs.

Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation reduces ambient noise by up to 45 dB. Transparency Mode lets you stay aware of your surroundings without removing the earbuds. Touch controls manage music and calls, and built-in microphones with voice processing handle hands-free calls.

The earbuds play for up to 10 hours on a single charge, and up to 38 hours with the charging case (ANC off). Ten minutes of fast charging gives 10 hours of playback, and the case also charges wirelessly. Bluetooth 5.4 and multipoint pairing connect to two devices at once. The Nothing X app offers personalization and sound tuning, including Static Spatial Audio.

Questions and answers

How does the Nothing Ear 3 compare with the Ear (2)?
The Ear 3 moves to Bluetooth 5.4, keeps LDAC and multipoint, and adds a 12 mm driver with adaptive ANC rated to 45 dB. Battery life is longer, up to 10 hours per charge and 38 hours with the case.
Does it support hi-res audio?
Yes. It supports LDAC alongside AAC and SBC, so Android phones and other LDAC sources can stream higher-bitrate audio. iPhone users are limited to AAC.
How good is the noise cancelling?
Nothing rates the adaptive ANC at up to 45 dB, which is flagship-class on paper. It adjusts to surrounding noise, and Transparency Mode lets you hear around you without taking the earbuds out.
Can it connect to two devices at once?
Yes. Multipoint pairing over Bluetooth 5.4 keeps it connected to two devices, such as a laptop and a phone, and switches between them.
What is in the box?
You get the earbuds, the charging case and a charging cable. Check the listing for the ear tip sizes included.
How long does the battery last with ANC on?
The 10-hour figure is for playback without ANC. With adaptive ANC running, expect noticeably less per charge, though the case adds several more full charges.
