Nothing has officially teased its upcoming flagship earbuds, the Ear (3), just days before their full debut on September 18. The preview gives us a closer look at the design, which introduces a fresh mix of premium materials and some intriguing new features.

For the first time in its lineup, Nothing is incorporating metal into the build of its true wireless earbuds. Both the charging case and the earbuds themselves feature recycled anodized aluminum alongside the brand’s signature transparent aesthetic. The addition not only improves durability but also gives the Ear (3) a more premium look and feel. That said, the use of metal on the underside of the case raises questions about whether wireless charging will still be supported.

The earbuds themselves have been slightly reshaped for better comfort and feature a slimmer 0.35mm metal antenna, which should improve connectivity. The gaps in the design have also been reduced, giving the Ear (3) a more refined finish compared to previous models.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of this teaser is the “Talk” button built into the charging case. Nothing hasn’t explained what it does yet, but speculation points to quick access for voice assistants—or possibly deeper AI integration, given the company’s recent experiments in that area. Another teased feature is a so-called “Super Mic,” likely aimed at delivering clearer call quality and smoother voice assistant interactions. Unfortunately, Nothing is holding back details on audio quality and battery life until the launch.

With the official launch set for September 18, Nothing is clearly positioning the Ear (3) as a premium option alongside its more affordable Ear (a). Between the new metal design and the mysterious Talk button, these earbuds are shaping up to be one of the brand’s most ambitious products yet.
