Nothing Wireless Earbuds
Score: 81/100Rankings
The EarFun Wave Pro offers budget-friendly over-ear ANC headphones with exceptional battery life, LDAC support and fast charging, making it a compelling choice for long trips and daily use. Its tinny sound profile and ear-cup warmth limit appeal for audiophiles seeking high-fidelity audio. Best suited for commuters, office workers and budget-conscious listeners who prioritize endurance and features over pure sound quality.
The Nothing Ear are true-wireless earbuds offering high-resolution audio with LDAC/LHDC support and a featherlight 4.8 g design. They trade off modest maximum volume and ANC performance that falls short of its 45 dB claim. Ideal for users seeking lightweight comfort, dual-device switching, and customizable sound.

Professional reviewers praise the Wave Pro for its comfort, exceptional battery life, versatile ANC modes, and the rare inclusion of LDAC at this price tier, while noting that the sound can be tinny and that thermal buildup and limited driver data are drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently highlight the headphones' comfort, long battery endurance, foldable travel-friendly design, and fast charging as major positives, while recurring complaints focus on a tinny sound profile, ear warmth during prolonged wear, and ANC that doesn't fully rival higher-priced competitors.
“They get plenty loud for most situations, and I think most people will be fine with the volume on this, but if you need like extremely loud earbuds, these might not have enough power for you.”
Professional reviewers commend the Nothing Ear for delivering standout sound quality, a lively and spacious soundstage, and a featherlight fit at a mid-range price. The low-latency gaming mode and robust app customization are also praised. However, they note that the active noise cancellation falls short of its 45 dB claim and that the maximum volume may be insufficient for power-hungry listeners.
Everyday users repeatedly highlight the earbuds' eye-catching transparent design, lightweight comfort, strong sound quality, and generous battery life. Common praise centers on the customizable app and reliable call performance, while recurring complaints focus on modest maximum volume, ANC that doesn't meet marketing numbers, and limited ear-tip size differentiation.
