Shoppers at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy can now purchase the Nothing Ear 3A wireless earbuds for $79. This price point represents a $20 reduction from the standard retail cost and matches the lowest price the product has ever reached. The discount applies to all four available color variants of the earbuds.
The Ear 3A model includes active noise cancellation designed to reduce low-frequency sounds, such as the hum of air conditioning units or airplane cabin noise. While the system does not eliminate high-pitched chatter, it effectively dampens background drone. The device offers extensive equalizer controls that allow users to adjust the sound profile. John Higgins, a colleague at The Verge, noted that the default setting leans heavily toward bass, though he found the adjustment process straightforward. This level of customization is uncommon for audio devices in this price range.
Additional features include 32MB of built-in storage, which allows users to record up to two hours of phone calls. These recordings can be transferred via a companion application. The earbuds also provide a dedicated shortcut for accessing ChatGPT. Each pair ships with extra-small ear tips to improve fit comfort. The design includes a distinctive pink shade among the color options.
Testing by The Verge identified minor software issues. Users experienced abrupt changes in noise cancellation levels while using the adaptive mode. Voice calls in noisy environments occasionally suffered from audio quality problems. Despite these technical glitches, the hardware performance aligns with the reduced cost. The $79 price tag positions the Ear 3A as a competitive option for consumers seeking noise-canceling capabilities without a premium price tag.
