Nothing Year 1 Black Edition Launches, You Can Buy Them With Bitcoin

Nothing, founded by former OnePlus executive Carl Pei, has launched a new black version of its first TWS earbuds, the Nothing Year 1. Till now, the company used to offer only a white color variant of the earbuds. The latest Black variant still has a transparent case with a smoky finish and matte black colourway. Though the white and black color variants come with similar specifications, the latest model is priced at Rs 6,999 – Rs 1,000 more than the base model. However, the white color option is also currently selling for Rs 6,999 in India. The company says it is operating like the Geneva-headquartered SGS and Year 1 is now carbon neutral.

In terms of specifications, the Nothing Ear (1) earbuds come with 11.6 dynamic drivers which are comparatively bigger than the competitions. The earbuds support Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Bluetooth v5.2 for connectivity with Android and Apple smartphones. With the Nothing Ear 1 app on Google Play and the Apple App Store, users can make changes to gestures and check battery levels. There are also two ANC modes – ‘Light Mode’ will filter out noise at medium levels, while ‘Max Mode’ will filter out external sounds up to 40dB. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Buds’ Ambient Mode, we get a Transparency Mode for greater awareness of the surroundings. The Nothing Ear (1) app also has a ‘Find My Earbud’, which allows users to locate the Buds when they are lost. Once activated, the earbuds emit a pulsating tone to alert you of proximity.
