Nothing Set to Launch Black Variant of the ear (1) TWS, According to Report

Nothing as a brand started its journey due to the departure of Carl Pei from OnePlus, with Pei being the co-founder of the popular enthusiast smartphone brand. A couple of months down the line, the company announced its first product, the Nothing ear (1).

The key selling point of this truly-wireless earbud is not the support for ANC or the rather superior sound considering the price, but instead, it focuses on the design, sporting a transparent design that brings with it a fresh new perspective in the rather stale earbuds market.

Now, it seems that 91mobiles has learnt that the Nothing ear (1) will get a new Black hue, via industry insider Ishan Agarwal. As of now, the truly-wireless earbuds are on offer in a single white hue. The Black variant will most likely feature a similar transparent design, with the ear tips being black instead of white.

This comes after popular YouTuber Casey Neistat took to Twitter to ask the company to make the ear (1) earbuds in black, after he himself colored the earbuds using a marker, to showcase how good the earbuds would look in the black hue.
