(Pocket-lint) – There was always leaks and information ahead of the launch of Nothing’s first smartphone, but something we hadn’t heard of until now was the potential for a new audio product to accompany the smartphone.
Now we have a picture of what appears to be called the Nothing ear (1) Stick, a new take on the earbuds that launched the Nothing brand in mid-2021.
If the Amazon leak is correct, we should see the launch of the Nothing ear (1) Stick version next week with the phone (1) as well.
– No silicone tips (like the regular AirPods)
– New, compact housing design
– Same price (99 €)
– Maybe difference in battery life or no ANC?#Nothing pic.twitter.com/CueH4dvX4E-Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) July 7, 2022
The earbuds are strikingly different, though, as they don’t feature silicone tips and have a very different case shape, which likely gave them their name.
According to whistleblower Ishan Agarlwal, the earbuds will be launched together with the new phone, but it doesn’t look like they will be launched together with the phone, but as a new product at the same price as the existing earbuds.
Given the lack of silicone tips, it’ll be interesting to see if they include features like active noise cancellation (ANC), or if they’re just meant as an option for those who prefer a less tight seal on their earbuds.
