These are a pair of [open-ear structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-audio-technology) that have a clear body with classic white and red dots to indicate which earbud is for the left or right ear. Overall, the aesthetic is retro but still pushes a modern take and the charging case has a clear lid as well. The Nothing Ear (open) Earbuds have an [ear hook design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shokz-opendots-one) that ensures to securely stay in place. The design means that the structure is slightly larger and the case is also larger than the typical pair of earbuds. However, it has a flat structure that still fits into the pocket seamlessly.
