More from It’s clearly time: all the news about the transparent tech renaissance
Nothing CEO Carl Pei has done another of his product review videos on YouTube — this time for Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro.
The most interesting part starts at the 1:35 mark, when Pei mentions that the Nothing Ear 2 assembly line is “like a rainforest” and filled with humidifiers to prevent dust from finding its way into the transparent earbuds or the carrying case. (Humidity makes the dust settle, which is why some people apply screen protectors in a bathroom with the shower running.)
Even after going to such lengths, 20 to 30 percent of units are rejected and have to be remade.
“You deserve more than the Nintendo Switch’s drift-prone analog sticks. Gulikit’s Hall Effect replacement sticks are the answer. Why not add an awesome transparent shell while you’re at it?” my shoulder devil whispered to me.
Itty-bitty wires make the task way harder than it sounds — but I don’t regret listening!
The Dockcase Explorer Edition is the coolest-looking M.2 enclosure money can buy. A little half-baked, though. If you’re a transparent gadget connoisseur, this see-through USB-C hub is also on the way.
The second-generation earbuds might look almost identical to the Ear 1s but with a $50 higher asking price. Lucky for Nothing, their sound quality is in a different league.
I almost wish I’d waited before buying JSAUX’s excellent transparent heatsink backplate for my Steam Deck...because it now comes in better colors, too! Oh BTW: don’t do the RGB mod yet.
This is the most beautiful portable console I’ve ever seen.
It’s beyond time to Bring Transparent Gadgets Back. And not just accessories, please.
Nothing has ironed out the kinks of its debut pair of earbuds with the Ear Stick. But in the process it’s dropped some of the features that made the Ear 1s competitive.
An affordable, manageable way to give your Switch a unique look
