After multiple leaks weeks before its release, the newest addition to Nothing's TWS earbuds has finally arrived in Malaysia at just RM469. The Nothing Ear (stick) comes in an eye-catching and, as the name suggests, cylindrical design with twisted access to the buds.

Designed for comfort, these earbuds are lightweight (at just 4.4g per earbud) and ergonomically designed to fit every ear. Paired with the unique case that gives them a cosmetic feel, they last all day with a battery life of 29 hours secured in your pockets. The charging case can provide additional 2 hours of battery life with a 10-minute charge and 12 hours of talk time with the case and 3 hours with the buds.
What impresses us the most is the custom 12.6mm drivers which are some of the most sensitive in the market. They allow a powerful and authentic sound with minimal distortion even at different frequencies. Nothing also claims that the earbuds produce rich depths, clear highs and bold details, while the 'Bass Lock' software detects bass loss and automatically tunes the equaliser to the optimal level for punchy depth.
The Ear (stick) also offers Clear Voice Technology that takes your speaking and listening sessions to the next level. Each earbud is equipped with three high-definition mics that work with updated algorithms to filter out louder background noises, amplifying your voice for "wind-proof" and "crowd-proof calls", as described by Nothing.
Press controls are positioned on each earbud for ultra-precise motions and function even when your fingers are wet. Users may easily play, stop, skip music, enable voice assistant, and adjust the volume by pressing the earphone stem.
This time, Nothing redesigned the Ear (stick) so that the antenna sits further away from the face to minimise signal blockage and better connectivity. When paired with Nothing's Phone (1), the earbuds automatically switch to a low lag mode for a better gaming experience. With Fast Pair, it can also connect easily to any Android device.
Speaking of Phone (1), all of your earbuds settings and features are directly integrated into Device Details for an immersive experience. You can customize gesture controls and EQ settings like low, mid, and high-frequency levels via Quick Settings. For all other Android and iOS devices, all features are available in the new Nothing X app.
The new Nothing Ear (stick) will be available for limited sales at Crossover in Malaysia from 28 October 2022 at RM469. Retail availability begins on 4 November 2022 through flagship e-commerce stores on Lazada and Shopee and electronic retailers such as SenHeng, Thunder Match, Urban Republic and DirectD.
