  • The leaked showcase the earbuds resembling the shape of peanuts with a sleek, circular charging case.

Nothing fans in the U.S. could be in for another product release at some point.

There is a new pair of earbuds that could launch in the US. The buds may launch under a new brand called "Particles by XO", which is a strange move. The brand name has applied for a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office. The new brand will cover earphones and headphones.

There is a really interesting shape to the earbuds. The buds look like a peanut from the leaked images. Some people are commenting on how odd the buds may be to wear if they come to consumers. Most people were familiar with the bud shape of the Nothing Earstick and could wrap their head around it.

The case for the buds is the same as the case for the Earstick. The leaked look shows a simpler design for the earbuds.

Consumers could be in for a more premium ear bud product if these currently rumored features continue throughout its development and onto the market.

The codename for these leaked buds is B 154. The Nothing Ear has been rumored to have a code name.

Nothing U.S consumers can chew on is what this is. Carl Pei said that U.S. users can try out the Nothing Phone through a testing program. Pei and the company have yet to provide any more information.
