- A new leak shows Nothing Ear 3(a)
- We see the earphones in four colors, with the case
- The official unveiling is scheduled for tomorrow
If you can’t wait until tomorrow for the official unveiling of the Nothing Ear 3(a), the budget wireless earphones have now appeared in an extensive leak revealing the design, colors and features – so this is pretty much a full spoiler.
The early reveal comes courtesy of WinFuture and is based on information from retailers who couldn’t wait to get their ads live. We can see the earphones in all four of the already announced colors: black, white, yellow and pink.
There are a few interesting things here, but when it comes to the aesthetics, there are no dramatic surprises: the appearance of these earphones is very similar to previous ones Nothing Ear models, with the semi-transparent stems and the transparent cover of the charging case.
What we’re learning is that the Nothing Ear 3(a) is set to come with a 12-millimeter driver, as well as support for LDAC and Hi-Res Audio Wireless – so while the price is affordable, it looks like sound quality won’t be compromised too much.

The leak gives us a glimpse of what appears to be a special feature we haven’t seen from Nothing products before: the ability to press the bar on the earphones to record voice notes, which is something to look out for.
WinFuture also refers back to previous leaks that mentioned a retail price of €99, so it looks like the upcoming wireless earbuds will stick to the $99 / £99 / AU$169 starting price of the excellent Nothing Ear (a).
In our Nothing Ear 3 review, we praised these earphones for offering “eager, customizable sound” – although we weren’t quite sure how much value for money they offered, which is something this new pair could move the dial on.
One of the quirks of the Nothing Ear 3 is the ‘Super Mic’ included in the charging case, which you can use for calls and voice messages in place of the microphones on the earbuds – but it’s not yet clear whether the Nothing Ear 3(a) will offer the same feature.
