Carl Pei's tech company Nothing has just introduced the ear (stick) as the second in its line of audio accessories. The product's individual earbuds look a lot like those of the inaugural ear (1); however, the OEM asserts that they come with upgraded drivers, an improved Clear Voice algorithm for calls and a reduced weight. On that note, the ear (stick) gets its name from the radical shift in charging case, also rated to extend the buds' total battery life, compared to its predecessor.
