According to the company, the slick new earbuds will only be offered for a limited time. In addition to the color change, Nothing claims that, unlike the original model, the ear (1) black is entirely carbon-neutral following an assessment by third-party certification company [SGS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-x80-pro-max). Sticking with its innovative business platform, the company will also accept payment for this product in the form of cryptocurrencies. In terms of specs, the earbuds remain nearly identical, delivering 11.6mm dynamic drivers with air chambers for advanced bass, mid, and treble performance. Moreover, this model also boasts a powerful, quick charge battery and Clear Voice Technology.
