So yeah, whenever I think about earphones,
Airpods or headphones in general,
I remember my childhood days
when we used to watch backyard science or science related shows
when our parents used to force us to watch such shows,
at that time, there was a show called Backyard Science.
Since I saw the show and since my mom has been a doctor in the past,
she always taught me to minimize the use of earphones.
She never bought me earphones in my whole life.
So my ears has been quite sensitive to earphones, Airpods and earbuds.
So that's why through a story,
I want to share my opinion about Nothing Ear (1)
and why I preferred to get these rather than Airpods Pro
which I have tried already.
Very interesting!
Before testing... Everyone reviews earphones
but no one tells you how good or bad they are.
According to some studies,
In-ear-earphones..
which stay very close to your eardrums
because they go inside your ear.
If you use them for more than 60 minutes in loud volume,
loud volume as in, more than 50% of the total volume,
you may have hearing loss.
If you listen at 60% volume today, tomorrow you may need 70%.
And slowly and gradually it may affect your hearing.
So that's why, be very careful.
My ears has been quite sensitive.
I can tell you, when I listen to music or my meetings in office,
I keep volume on the lowest.
Not just on the MacBook, not just on my phone,
it's on the lowest everywhere.
So that's the reason I prefer to use noise cancellation earphones.
I always use my over-ear-headphones.
First of all, these sit far away from our eardrums
so that's why your ears don't get tired.
My ears don't get that sweaty or tired
after listening or editing or a conversation.
So these are always preferred.
But because of the fact that these aren't portable,
I cannot take them everywhere.
For example, sometimes there is so much office hardware
so, that's sometimes hard to fit in my bag-pack.
So that's why, I always carry..
I used to carry my Pixel buds, which has been my favourite.
It doesn't have a noise cancellation,
but because Google gave it to me and I like them.
So I used to use them, but now..
since I got the Nothing ear 1, my opinion has kind of changed.
So number one, Design!
So I always wanted small sized earphones
which can be fitted in my jean's pocket.
Even though, it is a bit bigger if you compare it with the Pixel Bud
or as compared to Airpods Pro.
But still, they can easily fit in my jeans
so I fell really good!
Correction: Only in some of my Jeans' small pocket.
And even though, you cannot open it with easily a single hand
like Pixel Buds..
but I really like the UI like when you open it,
the light turns on.
And if I lose one of the earbuds,
I can just go to the menu and then 'find my ear buds'
and play.
Come on!
Yeah, the sound is quite high.
The fit is actually better than any earphones I've used.
And on the top of that, the thing which I liked the most
is that it has multiple support present in it.
For example, currently I'm connected to my Google Pixel 5a
so if you see, it is connected to the Bluetooth.
So if I want to connect it, to my iPhone immediately
then I can directly go to the Bluetooth settings
and I can easily select Nothing Ear 1
and it easily gets connected.
So that's a big big benefit!
Because what happens before, on my Sony headphones
it doesn't have multiple support because these are xm3 not xm4s.
So what happens was that if I'm connected to my MacBook,
then firstly I've to disconnect my MacBook from the Bluetooth settings
then I'll be able to connect it to my iPhone or Pixel.
So, it was a longer step
but I can do it easily with the help of Nothing Ear 1.
So my room-mate Apurv, uses earbuds regularly
so let's know his opinion...
So like can you try!
Before that, what's the background, what do you use?
I am using these currently, Samsung...
Live..
Uh Buds Live..
Buds Live?
It gets free with the Samsung phone right?
-This one, yeah free. -Yeah..
-Maybe it was free or paid! -Yeah.
-Uh no, it was free because of the pre-order! -Okay okay.
-Okay -But I've also purchased this one!
Is it of Anchor?
No no, it's of Samsung man!
-Oh is it Samsung? -Yeah
-This is the new one, Buds 2! -Okay awesome.
So now you try,
...Nothing Ear 1
-Nothing? -Yeah!
Wow nice!
-How is it opened man? -Okay..
So the sign of connected has appeared!
-So can you do the noise cancellation while playing the song? -Yeah.
So do that now!
Woah!!
It's too much like.. I mean at least
in comparison with these two, it's really nice overall.
At least it is better than Samsung!
And the fun fact is that,
at the cost of just 6000 rupees...
I was really shocked knowing that, it's much cheaper in India than US.
I had to pay 100 dollars here that is 7500 rupees
and in India it's 6000 rupees.
And I also had to struggle more, to order in US
it was always out of stock!
In India, its still available in Flipkart.
And in this price point,
getting Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is incredible.
Because when I go the office through bike,
it is a big advantage!
Before, if I had to keep the volume at 20%
without Noise Cancellation on my Pixel Buds.
Now, I can keep my volume at 10%
and I clearly hear in that level as compared to before on my Pixel Buds.
Many a times, phone calls comes in, of the Manager or someone's else on the way
so it's very useful.
So now, talking about the sound quality,
I'm gonna play some music from my Pixel.
So, let's try it out...
Honestly, I believe that it's base level is really incredible
it also has an option of Base boost,
so there are so many modes that you get!
So it's incredible!
I'm actually not so much into music,
for me, even decent quality is also okay.
But I get to know, if it's a bad quality
or if it's a good quality or very good quality I don't the difference there.
So don't judge me that way!
But I can say, it is decent quality in terms of conversation.
So this is the audio, that you're listening from Nothing Ear 1.
According to me, it is kind of decent quality
and my friends were also clearing hearing to,
when I was talking to them!
So now let's talk about the cons of getting Nothing Ear 1..
So there's no benefit comparing with Airpods vs Nothing Ear 1.
But in general I can say that,
the biggest con inside here is that,
it somehow creates a vacuum inside when you're putting in, inside your ear.
I didn't feel like there's less space inside,
I think, vacuum is less created in Airpods Pro as compared to this one.
It feels more like..
covering my ear as compared to Airpods Pro
because the air used to get out there, and I used to sweat less.
Here, I get tired of listening..
faster as compared to Airpods Pro.
I mean, overall at the end of the day if I wear it for 1-2 hours..
even though I don't wear for more than an hour!
After an hour, I get less tired of listening to music
on Airpods Pro as compared to Nothing Ear 1.
Then the other con I fell, is in terms of design
so when I'm trying to pause the music...
So if I tap on this,
it.. though I have to be careful, I don't press it that hard.
If I tap on too hard, for example..
If you wanna imagine, just close your ears
and if you tape here,
the more harder you tape on, you'll get a sound like "THAP" there.
So you've to be careful, when you tape on
because what happens in Airpods is that here in the down side
like not on the ear drum but the buttons are on the down side
but here, the buttons are on the top.
So, you've to be little bit careful!
But overall, increasing the volume design
like taping from bottom to up is really cool.
And you know, it is very user friendly.
And one more problem which I felt is that
I get louder volume on iPhone as compared to my Pixel.
So for example, now I'll try to listen in 10% volume
then I feel really very loud
as compared 10% volume on my Pixel.
So it's con is that I can't use it on my iPhone with these..
because I need to listen to in the lowest volume and
the lowest volume on iPhone is actually louder than on Pixel.
But I don't feel any problem on my laptop or Pixel
so it's just the problem in iPhone that it is loud for me.
I have a habit of listening to much less audio or volume that that.
So that's it man, overall they are perfect for me!
Since Airpods Pro are quite expensive so that's why I'm gonna pick it.
Because I don't feel like, Airpods Pro are that worth..
the money after getting these.
So that's why, I'll be preferring it to carry it
in my backpack everyday from now.
So that's it for today, Thank you so much for watching!
And I'll see you guys in the next one.
Goodbye!
