New Delhi: Carl Pei’s consumer technology brand Nothing on Wednesday launched Nothing Year (1) Black Edition in India with a matte black finish. The Nothing Year (1) Black Edition is priced at Rs 6,999 in India, which is Rs 1,000 more than the White variant. The new Black color variant retains the semi-transparent case with a smoky finish and matte black colourway.
However, the basic white color option is also currently available in the country for Rs 6,999.
The Nothing Year (1) Black Edition will be available starting December 13 on Flipkart. Potential buyers will have the option of using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) to purchase the device through the official company website. However, this payment option will be available in select countries, and does not include India.
The charging case for the new Nothing Ear (1) has also been changed to feature the same matte black finish on the original white variant. The hinge and pairing button have also been painted black to match.
In terms of specifications, Nothing Ear (1) Black has a single 11.6mm dynamic driver. The earbuds also come with active noise cancellation (ANC) and two levels of intensity.
The earbuds have a battery life of four hours with the ANC feature turned off and up to 5.7 hours with the ANC feature turned off. The charging case promises up to 34 hours of playback. The pair is sweat and water splash resistant and the charging case can be juiced up via a USB Type-C cable. Connectivity options on the Nothing Ear 1 Buds include Bluetooth 5.2 with SBC and AAC codecs.
Meanwhile, in early November, Nothing announced that it had the support of celebrities such as filmmaker Karan Johar, fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, digital content producer Ranveer Alabadia and singer Jasleen Royal.
According to London-based Nothing, Mukherjee, Johar and Singh were part of its investment round announced last month.
