There are so many true wireless earbuds in the market right now that companies need to find all kinds of ways to market their devices, such as with price. When we reviewed the Nothing Ear (1), we found them to be an excellent pair of earbuds with good sound quality and active noise cancellation.
We also liked the fact that they only cost $99, making them a relatively affordable pair of earbuds, but now it looks like the earbuds are about to lose their value proposition. This is according to a tweet by Nothing CEO Carl Pei who announced in a Twitter post that the price of the earbuds would be increasing.
On October 26, we'll be raising the prices for Ear (1) to $149 due to an increase in costs. pic.twitter.com/jJDlaXzzJ6

The new price would now see the earbuds cost $149 instead of $99 like it used to. The good news is that the changes will be coming into effect on the 26th of October, which means that you still have a few more days to get your hands on the earbuds at their original price before it becomes more expensive.
According to Pei, the increase in price is due to an increase in costs, but seeing as this is almost a 50% increase in price, we’re not sure how well customers will react to it. Either way, like we said, the changes only take effect next week so if you have been meaning to get it, now’s the best time to do so.
