Personalized sound meets iconic design
Nothing reimagines headphones with bold, transparent design and precision engineering that make every detail feel intentional and expressive. More than just audio, their earbuds are a statement, bringing joy, clarity, and individuality back to everyday tech.
Mimi x Nothing
Nothing and Mimi joined forces in 2022 to bring personalized audio to Nothing’s uniquely designed earbuds. The partnership began with the launch of the Nothing Ear (2) in March 2022, followed by the Nothing Ear in April 2024 - both featuring Mimi Sound Personalization to deliver truly tailored listening experiences through cutting-edge, human-centered sound tech.

The Nothing X App enhances the user experience by offering seamless control, customizable features, and ongoing updates that keep Nothing earbuds performing at their best. With integrated Mimi Sound Personalization, the app delivers audio tailored to each user's unique hearing profile. After completing a quick, science-based hearing test in the app, users receive a personalized sound profile - unlocking richer sound, crisper details, and a truly individualized listening experience.

User and media reviews

“Nothing, feature one of the best – dare I say the only truly good – sound personalization mode in earbuds I’ve ever tested…What the Nothing Ear has taught me about my hearing has actually changed the way I value different music – and the earbuds I use.”

"The Personal Sound Profile test inside the app suggests I’ve lost some hearing in the extreme highs, thus boosting those frequencies accordingly. Straight away, this improved my listening experience. "

"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 model ... It’s really a game-changing way of enjoying your music better – and I don't say that lightly."

"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."

"What I particularly liked, is Personalized Sound Setting [...] That made the most impact to my experience [...] The Ear started sound like a product, that I actually wanted to use.”

“If you want a more bespoke listening experience, then take advantage of Nothing’s partnership with Mimi and use the Personalized Sound Profile Feature”

"Nothing has taken its personalized sound even further though via a suite of features in the excellent Nothing X app designed to tailor the sound to your personal level following a short hearing test. Following my short test, I found I preferred the Recommended option with the Intensity slider set to 100%."

"I preferred the earbuds’ sound with the personal sound profile enabled, which isn’t always the case with these kinds of features."
“The partnership with Nothing Headphones is a great opportunity to further promote and accelerate Mimi’s personalization technology. With the release of the new Ear (2), we are delighted to have another great product in the market that merges Mimi Sound Personalization with high quality earbuds, and that enables users to enjoy fully customizable sound wherever they are.”
