If sound quality for music is paramount to you, and you require active noise canceling for noisy environments like air travel, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) may be worth the higher price. However, if you prioritize gaming and media consumption, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless is a compelling choice due to its dedicated low latency gaming mode and superior microphone quality, all while being more budget-friendly. Both are similar in comfort, and with their stemmed design, you'll find either convenient for calls and exercise, but only the "Nothing" Ear (2) supports wireless charging, which could be a deciding factor if you prefer the convenience it offers.

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."

The Verge
Chris Welch | August 2019
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
