If you prioritize gaming and watching TV, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 with AptX Adaptive and low latency would be better, but the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) is more suitable for calls and meetings due to its higher mic quality. The Aurvana Ace 2 supports AptX Lossless for high-fidelity audio, which is a major plus for audiophiles, however, for those who exercise or spend time outdoors, the "Nothing" Ear (2) is sweatproof and dustproof. For frequent travelers, the "Nothing" Ear (2) offers better noise isolation and portability, along with a longer battery life. The choice depends on whether you need features like AptX for gaming and high-fidelity sound, or better mic quality, sweat and dust resistance for an active lifestyle. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

Jasper Lastoria | March 2023
"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
