SAVE 38%: As of Sept. 24, the Nothing Ear (Open) headphones are on sale for $99 at Amazon, down from $159. That's a discount of 38%, or a savings of $60.


I have a confession to make: I hate most earbuds. I just can't stand that plugged-up feeling, and I like being able to hear if a bike is about to run me over on the street. The problem is that most open-ear headphones look like they were designed exclusively for people who are about to run a marathon (no offense to marathon runners). But Nothing’s new Nothing Ear (Open) headphones are different, and they’re on sale.

As of Sept. 24, you can get the Nothing Ear (Open) headphones for $99 at Amazon, down from $159. That's a discount of 38%, or a savings of $60. It's also the lowest price we've seen on these headphones since their release.

True to the brand's reputation, the design is the first thing you'll notice. These have a unique, clean look that stands out from the typically bulky and sporty competition. The open-ear design hooks comfortably over your ear so you can listen to music but still hear the world around you.

They're not just aesthetic, either. Nothing included its Clear Voice Technology with two mics for call clarity and a fast-charging feature for when you inevitably forget to plug them in. It's the first pair of open-ear buds I've seen that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear in public, and the fact that they're already on sale is just a bonus.
