The new Nothing buds might look identical to the old ones, but there have been changes made inside. Most notably, they offer higher-quality Bluetooth streaming with 96kHz LHDC 5.0 - although that's not as widely supported as LDAC or aptX, so it's worth checking your phone first. iPhone owners are stuck with basic AAC.

These are energetic buds with a frequency curve designed to please the majority, but there's also added clarity, detail and space. Bass is impactful without being boomy; and while the high end can become sharp at higher volumes, you can tweak all that in the app.
