It's impossible not to love how the Nothing Ear Sticks look, but do they have the sound to back the looks up?
Nothing Ear Stick review: the coolest ‘buds you’ll ever see MSRP $99.00 Score Details “The Nothing Ear Stick earbuds and case look incredible, with a design that's unlike any other, but the just-acceptable sound quality and simple feature list mean they don't live up to expectations.” Pros Cons I guarantee you’ll smile when you twist the Nothing Ear Stick earbuds case open. It’s just so satisfying, so cool-looking, and so fun that it’s impossible not to.
The size of the Ear Stick earbud is the only real downside to the design, and it will go on to impact sound quality, which we’ll come back to soon. Otherwise, the whole package looks modern and stylish, and certainly won’t be mistaken for any other brand’s earbuds. This is worth noting in itself, as Nothing absolutely hasn’t tried to copy the AirPods, and continues to build its own distinctive brand identity through clever designs that really do make you smile when you try them out.
Nothing Ear Stick music sound quality The Ear Sticks don’t have silicone eartips and therefore do not isolate you from the outside world. The barely there design means you can hear everything around you when music isn’t playing, and still have some idea of what’s going on around you when it is. The Ear Sticks are ideal if you’re concerned about safety when out and about, just like Apple’s AirPods.
Now we come back to the problem of the Ear Stick earbuds not sticking in my ears very well. Sitting down and listening isn’t an issue, but the sound is negatively affected when they wobble themselves lose as I move around. This may not affect you in the same way, but it’s not something I’ve noticed as much with any other pair of semi-open earbuds.
Don’t go looking for virtual assistant support, as none are available. This is an odd omission as it’s seemingly standard across all earbuds regardless of price. However, it’s not unexpected as the feature was also missing from the Ear 1 earbuds, but did arrive in a software update later on. Sensors detect when the earbuds are in your ears, and they pause effectively when you take them out.
