Reply to comment by zdfld in Nothing hikes price of Ear 1 earbuds by 50 percent - The $99 earbuds will soon cost $149 by speckz

You can compare that to the earfun air/free Pro 2 which have the same features and are $56 on their site right now with free global shipping. Plus earfun is known for having really good ANC so it's not like they suck.

That's a sale price, if we're talking about sale prices the AKG N400NC for $50 was still the best deal in Bluetooth audio.

At the Earfun's regular price they're around $89-99. I haven't listened to either so I can't talk to differences in audio, ANC, or build quality. I do know a lot of reviews for nothing praised the build quality at $99.

They're on sale very often though. It's a sale tactic where they put it at a higher msrp so they can claim to have very deep discounts and entice you to buy them on a "limited time" offer.

So yea sure on paper the price difference is $50 but in practical reality from a consumers perspective the earfuns will end up being around less than half of the new nothing price.
