Nothing Ear (Web) Now Available on Chromium Browsers with Cross-Platform Support and New Audio Features
One year after releasing Ear (PC), Nothing Mod has officially announced Nothing Ear (web), an unofficial solution, for users of Nothing and CMF Audio devices in a bid to adjust settings on their devices. The web application possesses much more features compared to its peer and is accessible on more devices.
Accessible on More Platforms
Ear (PC) was available only for Windows when it came out. Thus, this created a bottleneck for the users who require these two products with MacOS and Linux as well. Currently, Ear (web) can be accessed on any browser that supports Chromium, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Arc, with compatibility for major operating systems like Windows, MacOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
Since it is a web application, users can access it from any computer without the need for administrator rights. Just enable Bluetooth and open a Chrome browser.
New Features
Nothing has just launched an Advanced Equalizer and Noise Reduction for Ear (stick). It came with an infamous bug that prevented it from switching between the presets or using the Advanced Equalizer at all. The problem has been now finally fixed, though not without retaining some of the present functionality: users would still need to set the Advanced Equalizer via the Nothing X app.
They also added Noise Reduction on Ear (stick) based on popular demand. There’s also Ultra Bass mode, first seen on recent CMF and Nothing products, now available for compatible devices.
New Supported Devices
The update adds support to several new devices including:
- Nothing Ear (2024)
- CMF Buds Pro
- CMF Buds Pro 2
- Nothing Ear (stick)
In the future, this list of products will include Nothing Ear (a), as well as other CMF devices like CMF Buds and Neckband Pro.
You can access Nothing Ear (web) from here on any browser.
I tested Nothing’s Essential Space on the Nothing Phone (3) and OnePlus Mind Space on the OnePlus 11. Both look similar on the surface, but the way they work feels very different. Let’s break it down.
Nothing Essential Space has a dedicated Essential Key button. Just double press, and the app opens instantly. From there, you can create summaries, reminders, or even voice notes. Everything is simple and fast.
OnePlus Mind Space works with a three-finger swipe gesture. It opens smoothly and also creates summaries and reminders, but you need to do more manual steps compared to Nothing.
The big win for Essential Space is that it syncs directly with Google Calendar. Add a reminder once, and it’s already there. You can even record voice notes or use the camera app to analyze photos and auto-generate descriptions.
Mind Space, on the other hand, shines with app-wise sorting. For example, it can organize summaries by WhatsApp, Chrome, or Twitter, which is quite useful. But adding reminders is manual, and sharing options are limited.
Nothing also adds cool exclusive features like Flip-to-Record, where you just flip the phone, hold the key, and it records with Glyph animations. Later, the AI auto-summarizes your entire meeting or talk into English text. Super handy!
Sharing is also easier on Nothing. You can export your notes as an image, PDF, or Markdown and send them anywhere. On OnePlus, you only get the delete option, which feels basic.
Overall, Nothing Essential Space feels more polished and feature-rich, while OnePlus Mind Space is still catching up. The app-wise sorting on OnePlus is neat, but Nothing’s extra features make it the better option for now.
Also did a video for this. You can give it a watch on YouTube:

One of the major changes in this update is in the Camera app. Users can now choose a default album for preview images in the settings, making photo organization more convenient. The update also improves overall camera stability, ensuring smoother performance when taking pictures and recording videos.
Apart from camera enhancements, the update also addresses some important issues. It fixes a problem that caused rapid battery drain when certain smartwatches were connected to the phone. Additionally, it resolves Bluetooth call issues in Telegram when paired with some watches and earbuds.
