Our Verdict
Nothing Ear
Nothing Ear (a)
Overall, the Nothing Ear are better than the Nothing Ear (a) but only incrementally. These have more in common than they have differences, but the Ear have a greater IP rating, custom sound based on your hearing, a longer battery life, LHDC codec support, and a slightly better mic. On the other hand, the Ear (a) boast similar ANC performance and sound, which is appealing if you don't use the mic or need a long battery.
