THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.
FEATURES SIDE BY SIDE6 topics

Yes and No describe the listed feature. Missing evidence stays unverified.

SELECTED TOPIC
01 / 06

Open-back design

Open-back earcups are not sealed. Start here if your listening space is quiet; this construction is not a sound-quality rating.

Nothing Ear (3a)Not verified
Sennheiser HD 660S2Yes

Open-back. Manufacturer specification

Choose your must-haves

Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

What it brings and what to check

Nothing Ear (3a)

What it brings

  • Nothing rates up to 10 hours per charge and 42 hours with the case using AAC with ANC off, or 6 and 25 hours with ANC on.
  • Pinching the buds can record calls or save up to a minute of what you are hearing (Audio Snapshot), which is then managed in the Nothing X app; call recording depends on region.

What to check

  • The case charges only over USB-C according to the specification, with no wireless charging listed.
  • LDAC cuts the rated figures to 4.5 hours per charge and 20 hours with the case with ANC on, and dust and water resistance is IP54.
