Nothing’s open-style headphones leak just before launch

Nothing is expected to reveal its Ear (Open) headphones tomorrow, but a set of leaked images from WinFuture seems to have spoiled the surprise. The new earbuds appear to have a curved band that hooks around the back of your ear for a potentially more comfortable fit.

The speaker, which rests just outside your ear, could come with a 14.2mm driver, according to WinFuture. Just like Nothing’s other earbuds, it looks like the Ear (Open) will sport a transparent design on the stem with the company’s branding.

Additionally, WinFuture reports that the new earbuds offer up to eight hours of battery life without the case (or 30 hours with it). The buds are rumored to come with touch controls, the ability to connect to multiple devices at once, and a feature that allows for clearer audio during phone calls.

The Nothing Ear (Open) may also have the same ChatGPT integration as Nothing’s other earbuds, which works as long as you have a Nothing Phone, WinFuture reports. Some other features could include an IP54 rating for splash and dust resistance, along with a Bass Enhance setting that Nothing first introduced with the launch of its updated Nothing Ear and the more affordable Nothing Ear (a) in April.

We still don’t know how much the Nothing Ear (Open) will cost, or if they’ll be available in colors other than white. Nothing will likely have more to share on Tuesday, as it has an announcement scheduled for 8:30AM ET.
