Our Verdict

Beats Studio Buds True Wireless

Nothing Ear (1) Truly Wireless

The Nothing Ear (1) Truly Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Nothing have better ANC and a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer. The Nothing also have more extra charges in their carrying case and their companion app offers EQ presets. However, the Beats can deliver sound more consistently.
