We have obtained a sample of the wireless earphone "EAR (1)" of NOTHING, an emerging digital product brand that gradually produced information from July, so we will deliver a review.

NOTHING is an emerging technology company launched by CARL PEI, a co -founder of "OnePlus", a major Chinese smartphone giant OPPO.EAR (1) is the first product that asks the concept of that concept.As you may have already seen in photos, etc., the design that uses a lot of transparent parts will be handled by Teenage Engineering, the founding partner.Speaking of Teenage Engineering, it is also known in the development of OP-1, the most fun synth in the world.

By the way, it is EAR (1), but the price will start on August 17 at $ 99 / 12,650 yen.This time we will send you a quick review.

■ It wasn't just cool

The package is simple, but a characteristic dot font is used over the entire surface, and it is unified in all parts, such as the instructions inside and the product name of the main unit.In addition, the same font is used to the dedicated app for settings, and it is a job of Teenage Engineering.

First of all, it is unique from the case design.In general, these stick -type earphones are commonly dressed in the stick part, but in the case of EAR (1), the earphones are stored diagonally.

There is a point of contact on the back of the stick part, and the charging and pairing are realized by attaching it to the contact point of the case.The lid part of the case is dented in a rounded part so that the stick does not move.

Let's look at the earphone body.The enclosure is a two -tone of white and black, but the stick is made of transparent acrylic material, and you can see the inside of the inside.The surface is a touch sensor, and you can see two sensors under the red and white pots and the stick.

The sensor of the potch part is played/stopped with a double tap, skipped to the next song with a triple tap, and switched to noise canceling mode.The stick part is increased when traced up, and the volume is reduced when you trace it down.

There are three noise canceling microphones.There are three places, next to the red and white potch, the rear of the enclosure, and the ear chip.The microphone at the tip of the stick is for calling.

The ear chip comes with 3 sizes.This also uses an elliptical chip and is $ 99, but there is no feeling of doing everything you can.M is installed in the standard.

The mounting status will be checked by the ear type, but 11.Although the enclosure part is compact for the use of a 6mm dynamic driver, the wearing feeling is very light.The other day, the JBL "Live Pro + TWS", which pursued good fit, appeared, but I personally think that it is the same comfort.

■ High level in both no -cans and sound quality

Let's listen to the sound immediately.This unit is compatible with Fast Pairing, so you can pair yourself with Android without doing anything.

Noise canceling is three modes of ON / OFF and outer sound import.These three can be switched by pressing the main unit.There are two types of noise canceling, Light and Maximum, which can be switched only on the app.

Light is soft, and you can use it in a relatively quiet place to worry about the sound of the air conditioner.Maximum is canceled with all your might.The noise like bass and wind sound is reduced, but people's voices can be leaked.However, if you increase the volume of music, it will be masked, so you will not be bothered.

The equalizer has a standard status blanced, and there are three other presets.There is no function to customize it yourself.

In most cases, Balanced is enough sound quality.The codecs are only SBC and AAC, but recently everyone has become better at making sounds.There is no strange habit, it is an obedient sound quality, but it is a slightly wet, calm sound.In combination with the appearance, it would be nice if it was a little more gorgeous, but in that case it would be a good idea to switch to the preset "MORE TREBLE".It will be a bright sound like a peeled skin.

In "MORE BASS", the middle and high frequencies remain the same, but only the bass is a staggering expression.I think it feels good to use it when you want to concentrate a little."Voice" is a mode used to listen to calls and podcasts, not suitable for music appreciation.It can be said that the earphone that changes the expression considerably depending on the EQ settings.

■ Problem raised earphones

This machine is equipped with full -fledged noise canceling and is recommended with confidence in terms of sound quality, but it is surprising that it sells for $ 99 despite the transparent body that is very expensive for the base design and assembly.I can't hide.It is not a pre -sale of Crafan, but a regular price.With this feature and design, it is my author to be able to go even if it costs about $ 200.

Conversely, where is the wireless earphone in the range of $ 100 to $ 100 now cost?That is the story.Why is it possible for other companies to be NOTHING?I think there are many reasons for brands that are concerned with sound quality.However, with the appearance of EAR (1), it turned out that it could be done so far, including the design and texture as a dollar.

I think there is an earphone that can compete with less than $ 99, but it is likely to be strictly questioned why the full wireless earphones are not very sharp.
