Nothing's New Earbuds: A Pinch Away from ChatGPT Control

London-based tech company Nothing just unveiled a refresh to their earbud line, the "Ear" and "Ear (a)". While the names might be a bit confusing (Ear is an update to the Ear (2), and Ear (a) is a spiritual successor to the Ear Stick), the real news lies in their integration with ChatGPT.

Forget the usual voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. With these earbuds and a connected Nothing phone, you can access the powerful AI of ChatGPT with a simple squeeze of the earbud stem. Ask questions, get answers, all through OpenAI's popular platform, directly in your ears.

But the AI integration isn't all. Nothing is also bringing ChatGPT deeper into their Nothing OS smartphone experience. Imagine screenshot sharing and stylish widgets, all powered by ChatGPT. This exciting feature, however, is exclusive to owners of the new earbuds.

Pre-orders are open now! Both earbuds boast improved sound thanks to a new driver system. The Ear also benefits from a 25% battery life increase over its predecessor, and a "smart" active noise cancellation system that adapts to your environment. The Ear (a) also features noise cancellation improvements, but its real eye-catcher is the vibrant yellow colorway, a bold departure from Nothing's usual black and white aesthetic.

At $149 for the Ear and $99 for the Ear (a), these AI-powered earbuds are competitively priced. Get ready to squeeze your way to a smarter audio experience – shipping starts April 22nd!
