Nothing Ear (3) Launches With Case 'Super Mic' at $179

The case doubles as a handheld microphone via a Talk button, with support that excludes default camera apps on iOS and Android.

Overview

  • Preorders open today at Nothing’s site and Amazon, with broader retail availability reported for September 25 by some outlets.
  • Super Mic places two mics in the charging case for calls, voice notes, and select apps, with noise reduction claimed up to 95dB and support confirmed for services like Zoom, Teams, Meet, WhatsApp, WeChat, and Blackmagic Camera.
  • Each earbud adds three directional mics and a bone‑conduction voice pick‑up unit, while the case and buds gain metal reinforcements for durability and antenna performance.
  • Ear (3) features 12mm drivers, LDAC hi‑res support, and ANC rated up to 45dB, with early listening noting a bass‑heavier tuning than previous models.
  • Battery is advertised up to 10 hours of listening (38 hours with case) and about 5.5 hours with ANC, and the Talk button can trigger Essential Space voice notes on Nothing phones.
