The downside of the small size is that the internal batteries are also small, resulting in battery life of the buds being only 'up to' 4 hours with active noise cancellation turned on, or 5.7 hours without it. I found that the large size allowed for a snug fit and a tight seal.

Three sizes of soft, oval silicon tips are included to help you get a comfy fit. They're tiny things, weighing only 0.17 ounces (4.7 grams) each, making them extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods and small enough that I was able to wear them in bed. The main body of the earbud is white, however, which I feel is a shame, as it'd be cool to also be able to see inside to the actual audio drivers. And indeed that's what we get with the Ear 1 buds, with a clear plastic casing around the stem allowing you to see some of the internal components as well as subtle Nothing branding. It's the design that's been Nothing's focus here, with Pei making a particular push for transparent materials. 17, priced at $99 or £99 (about AU$190 converted). They'll be available globally from Nothing's website and other stores from Aug.

They're fully wireless earbuds, complete with active noise cancellation and a charging case that promises up to 34 hours of battery life in total. These headphones are the first actual product that Nothing has released. And a bit confused by the choice of company name. So when Pei set out to do his own thing we were intrigued.

His philosophy with OnePlus was to produce high-quality Android phones at prices that undercut its bigger rivals. OK, so what is Nothing? It's a new London-based tech firm led by Pei.
