Since the launch of the Nothing Ear TWS earbuds in April 2024, the audio community has been abuzz, with many experts sharing their thoughts on these innovative earbuds and the Mimi Sound Personalization feature.
“The Nothing Ear distinguish themselves from the Ear (a) in a few minor ways and one major one; the latter is the excellent sound personalization mode. Basically put, you can conduct a short hearing test and afterwards, the buds will compensate for the nuances in your own hearing to balance music for you. It’s really a game-changing way of enjoying your music better – and I don’t say that lightly.“

“I’d done the sound profile in the past and was maybe slightly underwhelmed with the results, but I did it again and noticed a fairly big difference between the Ear pre-hearing test and post. It’s hard to say exactly what’s behind that noticeable shift. Maybe my hearing has changed, maybe a new algorithm has made the sound profile test better, or maybe the new drivers on the Ear just do a much better job at actually tailoring frequencies to my hearing.”

“The Nothing X app has a few unique offerings that accommodate both audio enthusiasts and those with little knowledge of sound…. This is also where you’ll find the personal sound profile feature, which conducts a hearing test to determine how well you can hear high frequencies and adjust the sound accordingly. Nothing partnered with Mimi Hearing for this feature, a company that produces a hearing test app certified for medical devices. I preferred the earbuds’ sound with the personal sound profile enabled, which isn’t always the case with these kinds of features.”

“Where the Ear really sets itself apart is with software. In the Nothing X app, you can get much more control over the EQ, and there is even software built into the app to help personalize the sound profile to your hearing. This mode basically plays sounds at lower and lower volumes, and once it figures out what frequencies you struggle to hear, it boosts them. It’s subtle but a nice touch.”
