Hands-On With the $99 Nothing Ear Stick

Nothing came out with a new set of earbuds called the Ear Stick. We picked up some of the new earbuds and thought we'd check them out to see how good they are.

The earbuds from Nothing have a unique design. The clear housing makes it possible for you to see the hardware inside the stem.

There is no Silicone tip on the Nothing Ear Stick earbuds, which is similar to the design of the third- generation AirPods. It has an ear bud that sits in the outer part of the ear like the ones used in the Apple products. The earbuds are almost the same size as the AirPods 3.

The fit of the Ear Stick is similar to the AirPods and we found them comfortable to wear. There are squeeze-based gestures for pausing/playing, swap tracks, and changing volume with the accompanying app.

The Ear Stick earbuds have a similar sound profile to the third- generation of the AirPods. The bass is more noticeable on the earbuds than it is on the AirPods.

There are some features that are similar to Apple's, such as ear detection for playing music and the option to find a sound when earbuds are lost.

The case for the Ear Stick earbuds was the same as the case for the AirPods. There is a case that looks like lipstick that has earbuds in it. 22 hours of play time can be added by twisting the case to get to the earbuds.

It is possible to pair the Nothing Ear Stick earbuds to an Apple device, but they do not have the same features as the AirPods, which is always a disadvantage when using third-party earbuds with an Apple device.
