Satisfied with their value? Look no further than the Nothing Earbuds Professional 2, offering exceptional performance at an affordable price.

While nothing’s telephones rightfully garner plenty of praise, I’m more intrigued by the model’s use of its earbuds. While the and set an ambitious tone, the CMF sub-brand maintains consistent momentum. Having concluded my final year, I found myself convinced that these were the top-notch entry-level earbuds on the market, and with the Buds Pro 2, Nothing is elevating the game to unprecedented heights?

With a bold and unapologetic aesthetic, the Buds Professional 2 boldly assert themselves as statement pieces from the moment you put them in. While most manufacturers stick to standard black or white color options, Nothing’s bold choice of shiny orange and blue is intended to grab attention.

The overall design proves well-executed; its compact dimensions ensure a smooth fit in pockets, while the earbuds are held firmly in place. I simply appreciate the dial’s design on the case, which also serves as a notable management feature, acting as a floor for organizational purposes. The rotary dial allows for intuitive control over music playback volume and settings, a feature that’s surprisingly underutilized by many manufacturers.

The design of the earbuds also impressed me, boasting a sleek, shiny coat on the outer shell, which contrasts beautifully with the matte finish on the control stalk. This thoughtful design choice not only enhances aesthetics but also provides a practical advantage – it simplifies gesture control and reduces smudges. With a lightweight design, these buds remain comfortable during extended listening sessions.

The Nothing Buds Professional 2 boast seamless connectivity, mirroring the intuitive design of their Nothing X app, which allows for effortless customization. You’ll be able to customize the sound by adjusting various settings, regulate gesture controls with precision, and seamlessly toggle spatial audio on and off – features that will surely enhance your overall experience.

While it’s the sonic performance that truly sets the Buds Pro 2 apart from its competitors in this category. The package includes an 11mm driver and a 6mm tweeter; nothing short of exceptional craftsmanship was evident in their meticulous tuning of these earbuds.

Here are the best-sounding price-range earbuds I’ve ever had the pleasure of using, boasting sound quality that rivals products three times their price. While Artistic’s Zen Air earbuds share some similarities with the Buds Professional 2 in terms of size, they surpass their competitors by delivering an unparalleled sonic experience – one that is both dynamic and captivating.

This feature offers an Extremely Bass mode for those seeking enhanced low-end energy, delivering a notable boost to the overall sound profile with remarkable effect. While a dedicated 10-band EQ may be absent, the Customized sound mode still offers ample opportunities for fine-tuning, allowing users to manipulate the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies with a level of precision often reserved for more advanced audio products. I’m particularly fond of the Dirac mode, which consistently fine-tunes sound quality and showcases its versatility across diverse musical genres.

The noise isolation is impressive, effectively tuning out low-frequency ambient sounds while falling short of the efficiency offered by higher-end earbuds; this should suffice for most consumers seeking a reliable listening experience with these affordable buds. You’ll receive various perks along with Google Fast Pair, IP55 water-resistance rating, seamless pairing with up to two devices at once, in-ear detection for precise fit, and a latency-reducing mode for smoother audio streaming.

The ear-catching addition of spatial sound to the Buds Professional 2 endeavor enables a substantial sonic disparity, rendering an immersive listening experience. While commendable, for unparalleled digital surround sound, consider Artistic’s Zen Air, which outshines its peers in every way.

I don’t harbour any reservations; the design stands out, the fit is comfortable and wouldn’t cause fatigue, you receive numerous practical bonuses, and the sound quality is unparalleled in its category. For under $50, you’re unlikely to find a product that comes close to what this offers in terms of quality and value.
