Nothing’s eye-catching Ear 3A earbuds are matching their best price to date

If you want a decent pair of noise-canceling earbuds without spending a fortune, Nothing’s Ear 3A are worth considering. The wireless earbuds offer a lot of features for the price, and they’re an even better value now that all four colors are on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $79 ($20 off), matching their all-time low price.

The Ear 3A deliver great performance for the price, with extensive EQ options that let you fine-tune the sound to your liking. My colleague John Higgins found the default sound a little too bass-heavy, but appreciated how easy it was to adjust — which is great, since that level of customization is unusual for earbuds at this price. While they won’t completely drown out chatter of your local coffee shop, the ANC does a good job of quieting low drones, including air conditioners and airplane cabin noise. We did encounter some bugs in testing, however, including abrupt changes in noise cancellation levels when using adaptive ANC, as well as occasional issues with voice calls in noisy environments.

Still, they’re relatively minor drawbacks given what you get for the price. The Ear 3A also come in some fun colors — including a striking pink shade — and each pair includes extra-small ear tips for a more comfortable fit. They even offer a shortcut to access ChatGPT and include 32MB of built-in storage, letting you record up to two hours of a phone call and transfer the recording through the companion app.
