TL; DR

Nothing has confirmed that the Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 3:30 PM IST.
The earbuds will be available in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink.
A price of around €99 has leaked, suggesting India pricing near the Ear (a)’s ₹8,999.

Nothing has officially confirmed the Ear (3a), the relatively affordable version of the flagship Nothing Ear (3). It will launch alongside the Phone (4b) on July 7, 2026, at 11:00 BST (3:30 PM IST).

In a neat bit of cross-product marketing, the Ear (3a) teaser itself was shot entirely on that unreleased Phone (4b).

What Does The Official Teaser Reveal?

Nothing’s teaser is light on details, but it does confirm four color options at launch, including White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. The Pink is a new addition for the Ear lineup, while Yellow and Black carry over from previous Nothing audio products.

The DJ-themed clip, captioned “Only dating DJs this summer,” leans into the brand’s music-first positioning for the (a) or the affordable series. Nothing hasn’t shared any specifications ahead of the July 7 reveal.

Nothing Ear (3a): Rumored Specifications

A price of around €99 has been reported for European markets. This makes the Ear (3a) much more affordable than the Ear (3) on sale in the region for £179. Furthermore, this could put the earbuds on a par with its predecessor, the Ear (a).

The Ear (a) launched in India in 2024 for ₹8,999. If Nothing holds a similar price locally, the Ear (3a) would remain one of the more competitive options in the sub-₹10,000 TWS segment alongside the Nothing CMF Buds and OnePlus Buds 3.
