April Fools’ 2025: “Beautifully inconvenient.”

That’s how Nothing describes its April Fools’ launch this year, the Ear 3.5mm. They’re earbuds that look a lot like last year’s Nothing Ear Open, but come with a handy 50m (164 ft) cable so you can enjoy wired audio quality without giving up the range of Bluetooth.

Nothing hasn’t announced a price, so it seems a safe bet this is the sort of April Fools’ joke you can’t actually buy.
