Nothing Wireless Earbuds
Score: 83/100
Soundcore P31i with ANC
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Soundcore P31i offers ultra-light comfort, adaptive ANC and a 50-hour total battery life, making it ideal for commuters and travelers. Its bass-heavy tuning and limited transparency mode data may deter audiophiles seeking a balanced sound. Best suited for users who prioritize ANC and long endurance over detailed spec transparency.
The Nothing Ear earbuds combine 11 mm ceramic drivers, hybrid ANC up to 45 dB, and LDAC/LHDC support with wireless charging and a lightweight design. While the ANC doesn't reach its claimed attenuation and volume is modest, they excel in sound quality and feature set. Perfect for users who prioritize audio fidelity and customization over maximum ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Nothing Ear earbuds for their standout sound quality, high-resolution codec support, and a well-implemented app that adds deep customization. While battery life and wireless charging are praised, the ANC is noted as underperforming relative to its marketing claims, and the maximum volume is considered modest for very loud environments.
Everyday users appreciate the lightweight comfort, effective passive isolation, and the convenience of customizable pinch controls, but they frequently mention that the ANC does not match premium rivals and that the earbuds could be louder in noisy settings. The transparent case's fingerprint-prone finish also draws regular complaints.
Professional reviewers commend the P31i for their feather-light comfort, powerful bass from the 11 mm titanium-coated drivers, and a highly effective adaptive ANC that outperforms the prior P30i. They also note the lack of deep technical data and third-party benchmarks, which limits a full performance assessment.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the earbuds' ultra-light weight, punchy bass, and long battery life, while expressing mild concerns about fit stability and the scarcity of detailed user-generated feedback.
