Swapping between the Ear 1 and Ear 2 in a noisy coffee shop, I couldn't hear a drastic difference in ANC quality. Noise-cancellation is about as good here as in most other earbuds in this price range, which means it effectively mutes consistent, low-frequency sounds and muffles higher-pitched and irregular noise fairly well. When I took the test, it showed that I struggle a little with high-frequency sounds my resulting personalized sound profile did, indeed, boost treble. The app offers a sort of hearing test, and according to Nothing, based on the results, fine-tunes the earbuds' sound profile in a way that compensates for your individual hearing deficiencies.

The Nothing X app has personalized audio settings, both for EQ tuning and Active Noise-Cancellation (ANC). Not a lot of phones support the high-quality LHDC codec right now, but the Nothing Phone 1 does (along with many newer OnePlus phones).

In addition, there's support for the usual AAC and SBC codecs, plus LDHC 5.0. The Ear 2 dial back the bass a touch and deliver clearer mids and brighter highs, making for a better listening experience even in bass-forward tracks. The company's Ear 1 buds produced powerful bass, but mids and treble often lacked detail, which could make for muffled sound. The Nothing Ear 2 generally sound very good for midrange earbuds.
