Nothing Ear (3) Debuts With Case ‘Super Mic’, Preorders Open at €179

Early reviews highlight clearer call quality from the case microphone, with audio refinement, ANC consistency and phone‑locked AI features tempering expectations.

Overview

  • Nothing began taking preorders for the Ear (3) at €179, with shipping slated to start on October 8, according to the company’s announcement.
  • The case adds a dedicated Talk button and dual microphones dubbed Super Mic, which testers report noticeably improve voice clarity during calls.
  • Heise reports the Talk mode creates an extra Bluetooth link to the case that temporarily disables multipoint connectivity until the feature is turned off.
  • Computer Bild measured roughly 11 hours of playback per charge with ANC at its highest setting and found very quick top‑ups from the case.
  • Reviews note stronger bass but still‑muffled mids, occasionally sharp highs and non–class‑leading noise cancelling, and they add that ChatGPT voice controls work fully only with Nothing phones.
