TYLER HAYES Share Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedInShare on RedditShare on Flipboard Share via Email Comments Tech & Science OnePlus Apple Music Wireless Apple's AirPods 3 might be the best general-purpose wireless earbuds currently available. They sound phenomenal for ones without silicon tips that don't create a seal. They're lightweight and effortless to wear for hours. The new Nothing Ear (stick) earbuds don't beat the $179 AirPods 3, but they do come close—for a lot less money. > As a quick refresher, Nothing is a technology and electronics company from the founder of OnePlus. So far it has released Ear (1) earbuds (with ANC), and it has dabbled with Phone (1), which isn't available in the U.S. yet. Its third product is the Ear (stick) earbuds, which don't have active noise canceling and don't have wireless charging but do retail for $99.
