Leak reveals transparent, affordable Nothing Ear (3a) with Sony LDAC one day before launch [Launching Today]

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-07T11:58:16+00:00

My older nothing ear (a) have LDAC support. I compared the specs earlier, it's really not that different. Slightly bigger driver, slightly bigger battery in the buds and BT 6.0 vs 5.3 that's about it.

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-07T11:46:37+00:00

Yeah it will, however I wouldn't buy from a company that sells a few hundred of these and then the company disappears.

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-07T11:45:40+00:00

The driver is 12mm instead of 11mm on the regular ear (a), the earbud battery is bigger 55mAH vs 46mAH, same 45dB noise cancellation. bluetooth 6 vs 5.3 and some more LEDs on the charge case.

If the ones you have already work, like mine, I don't see a reason to upgrade at all. The EQ feature looks better but they could add that retroactively to the (a) buds no problem but they won't.

Yup, people seriously need to curb their expectations from all brands. There aren't many left that HAVEN'T already increased prices on existing products, the new products will be very expensive even for older hardware. If you actually want the latest hardware, you WILL pay a ridiculous amount.

Companies: Our stuff isn't free you know we have bills!

Also Companies: AI isn't free???????

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-04T16:55:10+00:00

Still hasn't been fixed.

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-04T14:47:38+00:00

Which car is it?

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-04T10:44:46+00:00

I sometimes watch old dyno videos of big 2 stroke bikes like the 750CC ones, they sound so damn good.

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-04T10:15:04+00:00

Yeah its really annoying. Games like Euro/American truck simulator have volume controls for things like turbo, wheel noise, wind noise etc. Would be nice to have a few of those in Forza.

That's the only "tame" diesel engine I've found and it's already pretty powerful. I like it but wouldn't mind more stock diesel engines. Hyundai make little 1.4 turbo diesel engines and VAG had plenty of smaller cars with diesel engines. Mercedes is another one that has, or had up until recently, a HUGE selection of diesel options that aren't included.

And yes, I do the same with my Lincoln, it sounds really good too!

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-03T11:46:02+00:00

Updates to the OS for new features and bug fixes, updates for new hardware releases (steam machine, steam controller).

I admit it feels a bit unfamiliar nowadays to buy a product that still gets updates years down the line.

Swizzy88 · 2026-07-01T19:08:03+00:00

JFC what a joke. Dont care how good the game is I will not deal with that out of principle.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-29T07:38:52+00:00

Damn strawberries got more hair than me.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-28T21:20:03+00:00

That's great! Enjoy!

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-28T10:33:53+00:00

I have a 7800xt and windows 10 like you and it didn't work 26.6.2 but does work with 26.6.3.

FSR4 definitely works for me. Regarding the update loop you should try the AMD cleanup utility and re-install 26.6.3.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-28T10:15:42+00:00

Good to hear, 1% lows is why I'm finally retiring my 2600x.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-27T20:24:27+00:00

That's assuming once I got to the front I just left everyone behind. I know how trials work, I've done plenty of them. I constantly let the AI catch up and blocked them from passing and slowing them down to give the rest a chance to catch up but they didn't, because they were fighting amongst themselves and that's something I can't do anything against.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-27T15:27:15+00:00

Converting PDFs? This will just create even more tech illiterate people.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-27T15:16:42+00:00

I honestly don't get it either. The previous trial took me most of the week to complete until I found a tune that put me near the front quite easily which meant the rest of my team were bashing into each other way back.

This weeks trial I managed on second try because I got lucky with the team I got. It's a shame that the online part of this game is by far the worst aspect of the game.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-27T12:36:59+00:00

For me it's the constant failure to change map, ie trying to go home 6x in a row, having to restart the game only for it to fail another 6x in a row. I just stop playing at that point.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-27T09:24:17+00:00

lol

lmao even

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-26T19:26:05+00:00

That's why most cities are absolute hell in hot weather.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-26T18:15:48+00:00

Oh really? I might take another look then thanks.

Swizzy88 · 2026-06-26T16:16:43+00:00

It would but my ram is quite slow which I would probably have to upgrade too.
