Nothing Ear 3 Launched in India with New Design, AI
Nothing is all set to introduce its new wireless earphones, Nothing Ear 3, today, 18 September 2025, in India and across global markets. This time, the company has brought significant changes in design, features, and audio quality. The launch event will be live-streamed today at 5:30 PM on Nothing’s official YouTube channel, where complete details about the Ear 3’s specifications and pricing will be revealed.
This launch holds special importance for Nothing as the company has reintroduced “clear numbering” in its product branding. By directly naming the new product “Ear 3,” the company aims to further strengthen its presence in the premium wireless audio category.
Iconic Transparent Design
Nothing has always been recognised for its iconic transparent design. The Ear 3 continues this signature style but in a much more premium form.
- This time, the earbuds come with a metallic silver aluminium frame, giving them a modern, high-end finish.
- The bottom of the charging case is made from recycled aluminium, while the top lid remains the signature clear plastic, a hallmark of Nothing’s design language.
- A black variant has been confirmed, with the possibility of a white version also being introduced. However, brighter colours like yellow or orange are less likely to be included in the premium category.
- The design has been made slimmer and more minimal for improved fit and long-lasting comfort.
New AI-Powered Super Mic and Talk Button
The biggest shift in Nothing Ear 3 comes from its AI-integrated features. The company has focused on enhancing calling experience and smart controls with innovative technology.
- The charging case now includes a Super Mic, which is expected to significantly improve call clarity and reduce background noise more effectively.
- A “Talk” button on top of the case will enable smart activities. Early reports suggest this button could work for AI assistant activation, voice transcription, or switching channels.
- To further enhance audio quality, Nothing has collaborated with the British audio brand KEF. However, the official “Sound by KEF” branding has not yet been spotted on the Ear 3, leaving questions about the depth of this partnership.
Audio and Technical Specifications
Nothing Ear 3 is not just about design and smart features — the company has also paid close attention to audio hardware and battery performance.
- Equipped with a Dual Driver System, it delivers hi-fi audio with natural sound reproduction.
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been upgraded to block out external noise more efficiently.
- A more natural version of Transparency Mode ensures clearer awareness of surrounding sounds.
- Battery life has been improved, offering up to 36 hours of backup with the earbuds and charging case combined.
Price and Availability
In India, Nothing Ear 3 is expected to be priced between ₹7,999 and ₹9,999. For reference, the Nothing Ear 2 was launched at ₹8,999, so the new model is expected to remain in a similar price bracket.
The company has prepared e-commerce partnerships for sales. Ear 3 will be available in India via Flipkart, Amazon, and Nothing’s offline stores. Significantly, Nothing has also announced plans to open its first offline experience stores in India, allowing customers to try and purchase products more easily.
Company’s Recent Launches and Strategy
Nothing has already made several major launches in 2025. Just weeks ago, it unveiled its flagship smartphone Nothing Phone 3 and premium Headphone 1 (in collaboration with KEF).
By joining this lineup, Ear 3 further strengthens the company’s premium audio portfolio and its position in the global audio market.
Competition: Who Will It Face?
Nothing Ear 3 will directly compete with some of the biggest names in the premium audio space:
- Apple AirPods Pro 3
- Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
- OnePlus Buds Pro 3
While these devices already have strong user bases and advanced features, Nothing stands out with its unique design, transparent aesthetics, and distinctive user experience, which could give it a competitive edge.
Why Is This Launch Important?
The demand for premium wireless earphones is rising rapidly in the Indian market. In this context, the launch of Nothing Ear 3 is crucial not just for the company but for the entire segment.
- Design: Slimmer, more premium, with an aluminium touch.
- AI Features: Super Mic and Talk button, establishing it as a smart gadget.
- Premium Audio: Technology from KEF, dual drivers, and upgraded ANC.
- Battery: Up to 36 hours of backup, ideal for long use.
Today’s Event: What to Expect?
The Nothing Ear 3 launch event will be held today (18 September 2025) at 5:30 PM, live on Nothing’s official YouTube channel. During the event, the company will announce the complete specifications, pricing, and global availability.
Nothing Ear 3 is more than just another pair of earphones — it represents the company’s next step in its premium tech journey. With the combination of design, audio quality, and smart features, the product is set to make waves in India and across global markets.
While giants like Apple and Samsung already dominate this space, Nothing is ready to intensify competition with its unique style and enhanced value proposition.
