How to Find Your Lost Nothing Ear (a) in Minutes

The Nothing Ear (a) is the budget model in Nothing's lineup, notable for its bright yellow color option that makes it one of the most visually identifiable earbud cases on the market — yet Nothing still provides no tracking whatsoever in their app. With 9.5 hours of earbud battery and a massive 42.5 hours total with the case, they have one of the longest BLE broadcast windows of any earbuds when lost, giving EarBuddy an exceptionally long search window. Their BLE 5.3 signal is detectable at 30 feet, and the Ear (a) are especially popular among younger users who tend to lose earbuds at higher rates in schools, cafés, and on public transit.

Why Your Phone Can't Find Your Ear (a)

Like all Nothing products, the Ear (a) has no built-in find feature. Nothing's app doesn't track earbuds in any way.
