Nothing has recently introduced a new product that evokes nostalgia—the Ear 3.5mm earphones. These wired earphones are designed with a remarkably long 50-meter cable, which the company dubs “beautifully inconvenient.” With this product, Nothing seems to target those who long for the simpler days of wired audio.
On April 1st, Nothing revealed the Ear 3.5mm as part of its audio lineup. The earphones come equipped with a standard jack, compatible with smartphones and other devices. True to Nothing’s branding, they maintain a familiar transparent aesthetic and feature a large hoop that wraps around the ear, ensuring a secure fit.
The impressive cable length allows for freedom of movement, enabling users to multitask around the house while still enjoying their music. The tagline accompanying the launch—“Uninterrupted, untangled, unbelievable freedom”—could lead many to believe this product is serious. However, in a surprising twist, Nothing confirmed that the Ear 3.5mm is actually an April Fools’ joke.
The concept of such an excessively long cord seems far-fetched, especially for a modern audio accessory. For those genuinely interested in authentic earphones, Nothing has previously released the Ear Open buds, which are wireless and take a different approach to design by featuring an open ear loop rather than traditional in-ear tips. Despite their unconventional style, reviewers noted that these earbuds deliver impressive bass.
In other news, Nothing has rolled out the Nothing OS 3.1 update for its Phone 3a and 3a Pro models, adding new features to enhance user experience. As always, Nickolas enjoys exploring the latest in technology, balancing his time between writing, gaming, and reading.
