Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
Nothing Ear
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) and the Nothing Ear are both capable stemmed earbud designs. The Apple use touch and slide controls compared to the Nothing's pinch controls. You get Spatial Audio and the H2 chip with the Apple buds but a shorter continuous battery life and fewer app features to customize the sound profile. Their noise isolation is more effective, too. Both the Apple and Nothing have generally flat mid-ranges that suit a wide variety of audio, though the Nothing app provides more control that is available for both Android and iOS, unlike the Apple. While both are well-built with IP ratings for the case and buds, the Nothing have a slightly higher rating for their case. If you have iOS devices, the Apple headphones provide a more seamless experience with better ANC but less tweakability and a shorter battery life. However, the Nothing make more sense for Android users because you can use all the features.
