Nothing gives details of new headphones after another leak

The tech scene needed a plumber again. Steve H. McFly (@OnLeaks) leaked the images of the new Nothing Ear (2). They show the revised design of the Ear (2) - which, as many have already surmised, is very similar to that of the previous version.

Nothing, for its part, responded skilfully with a tweet in which the company announced further details about the new in-ears itself.

Leaks about the headphones were already circulating on the internet last month.

All that is now known about the Nothing Ear (2)

With Nothing's tweet, everything is now known about the British company's third pair of headphones, which are irritatingly called (2) - there was an open intermediate pair of headphones, hence the name. The summary of the specs.

• Design: transparent again
• Headphone type: closed
• Active noise cancelling: can be personalised in the app
• Weight: 4.5 grams (0.2 grams lighter than the predecessor)
• Driver: 11.6 millimetres
• Bluetooth codec: LHDC 5.0 (192 kHz at 24-bit), multipoint
• Certification: IP54 (splash water and dust protected)
• Battery: 6 hours without ANC
• Charging case connection: USB-C, wireless

The Bluetooth codec is particularly exciting. LHDC (Low Latency High-Definition) is a new, high-resolution audio codec with which a data rate of almost 1 Mbit/s can be transmitted. This means a very close approximation to hi-fi audio - despite Bluetooth transmission.

The official launch date of the Nothing Ear (2) is also already known. It will be 22 March.
