- A Singaporean regulatory listing confirms Nothing’s work on a new pair of “Ear Open” earbuds.
- The wireless Bluetooth earbuds will likely utilize an open design to allow ambient sound in.
- Nothing’s working with the same distribution partner it’s used for past earbuds.
Nothing’s smartphones haven’t really exploded in the same way OnePlus models did during their early years, but before Carl Pei and company were even selling phones under this new brand, they got their start with earbuds: the Nothing Ear 1. That’s been joined by a stream of new models, and the Nothing Ear and Ear A we got earlier this year quickly emerged as some of our favorite, reasonably affordable options. Now we’re looking into what’s next from the company as we’re alerted to a regulatory listing that seems to reveal a new pair of Nothing earbuds.
We’re not talking about the FCC today, and instead turn to the other side of the globe where Singapore’s IMDA has updated its database to include a previously unknown Nothing earbud model, identified here as the “Ear Open” (via 91Mobiles). Assigned model B182, we don’t learn a ton about this hardware from its regulatory filing, other than it uses Bluetooth and will be supplied by iFactory Asia, which has also distributed Nothing’s previous earbuds.
