Nothing Brings Gesture-Triggered Call Recording to $99 Earbuds

Nothing launched the Ear (3a) at $99 on July 7, pairing gesture-triggered call recording with an Audio Snapshot feature that captures ambient audio via a double-pinch. Both recordings sync to the Nothing X app for transcription and editing. The move brings a previously premium feature into the mass-market price tier, potentially exposing casual users to consent-recording compliance issues in two-party consent jurisdictions.
