Nothing's natty buds offer hi-res audio alongside a heaving feature set, but will they cut the sonic mustard?

Nothing Ear (a) in yellow.

One of the nattiest brands in all of consumer audio is back again. Nothing, the makers of the rather decent Nothing Phone(1) and aesthetically out there 'Ear' line of wireless earbuds has returned with its new Ear and Ear(a).

The new Ear wireless buds act as the company's flagship model, while the Ear(a) are a more budget option hovering around the price of the Award-winning Sony WF-C700N (tested at £100 / $120 / AU$200). The Ear(a) do offer a brand new yellow colourway – Nothing's first departure from purely black and white schemes – which is a real bonus for anyone wanting a bit more sunshine in their life.
