Apple’s AirPods Pro are excellent headphones, ranking among the best in their range and with very interesting features such as active noise cancellation. However, its price is prohibitive for many and that is where other options come in such as Nothing ear (1), headphones that have triumphed in 2021 and that not only match Apple’s in many respects, but surpass them in some.
How do they compare to the AirPods Pro?
We begin by talking about the most obvious, which is the design. Both headphones share a form factor, although while the Apple ones offer a pure white design with black sensors, the Nothing ears are offered with the headphones in white or black and with the temples adapted to a futuristic aesthetic that even gives the feeling that they are transparent.
His fit to ear is identical, offering in both cases replacement pads to fit the best possible. Their cases They are also different, finding in the AirPods an already classic style and reminiscent of typical dental floss cases, while the others have a transparent case where they also recharge their battery when they are placed.
Already getting fully into its functionalities, the Nothing ear have USB-C in their case, which already gives them some better loading times, in addition to being a much more universal and common standard than the Lightning of the AirPods Pro. Precisely in the field of autonomy It is where the Nothing wins, which in uninterrupted playback stay in the 4-5 hours of the AirPods, but with the battery in the case they reach 30 hours ahead of the almost 20 of the AirPods Pro.
At the level of sound They are very even headphones that offer very balanced audio levels, shining through the bass with great clarity and without offering distortion or feeling of canned sound. As for microphone Regardless, we must recognize that none of them shine especially, finding us also a technical draw here. Its modalities of Noise Cancellation They are, from what we have been able to verify, the best on the market in this type of headphones. And yes, in this they are also tied.
Price unbalances the balance
It is true that the AirPods Pro have advantages such as their full synchronization with Apple equipment, although the Nothing ear (1) also offer full compatibility with all Apple equipment and with Windows and Android. Now, it is the final price that ends up unbalancing everything in favor of Nothing and especially for those who seek to save money.
If we go to Amazon, which offer better prices than in official stores and with the same guarantees, we see that the AirPods Pro have an interesting discount of 60 euros, although in the end the 219 euros in which they stay is very far from the Nothing. And it is that the latter are for less than 100 euros currently, so they definitely become the best alternative to Apple today.
