$149 instead of $99: Nothing will raise the price of the TWS Ear headphones (1)
Nothing founder Carl Pei has announced that the company is raising the price of its TWS Ear (1) headphones.
Here's What We Know
Pei made the announcement on Twitter. According to the CEO, the manufacturer has taken such a step because of higher prices on components and production of the headphones.
When we started developing it, we only had three engineers. A year later, we have 185. During this time, the Ear (1) has received 15 firmware and tuning updates, and is a completely different product to when we launched it.

By the way, it's been over a year since the Ear (1) was announced. Since then Nothing has managed to sell almost 600,000 units worldwide. The headphones have also received 15 updates with improvements. As Pei states, this is no longer the product that it was at the start of sales.
I'm looking forward to seeing the richer product portfolio with the Ear (stick) side by side with the Ear (1).

In addition, Carl Pei added that Ear (1) helped Nothing launch the project to create their first smartphone, the Phone (1). It debuted this summer. The company is also now preparing for the release of Ear (stick) headphones. They will be shown on October 26.
