Nothing Labor Day sale highlights

With Labor Day sales now live at Amazon and Best Buy, we are catching a collection of fresh discounts across the Nothing lineup, from buds and over-ears to its latest smartphone releases. This morning we spotted the new Nothing Ear (3a) noise cancelling buds hitting the Amazon all-time low at $79, but there are loads more starting down at $34.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro pricing

Alongside all of the offers you'll find showcased below, Amazon is now offering the most affordable Nothing Phone (4a) Pro unlocked down at $449 shipped. This is a solid $50 price drop and on par with the lowest we have tracked outside of a one-day offer back at the top of the month.

The 144Hz AMOLED display here joins a 50MP Sony main sensor, 50MP periscope telephoto lens with up to 140x ultra zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, you'll also find 50W fast charging and that sweet "all-new Glyph Matrix, featuring 137 individually controllable mini-LEDs that act as a secondary display for notifications, timers, and battery status."

The best earbuds at their best price yet

Nothing's Ear (3a) wireless earbuds are already an incredible deal at $99, but they're currently an even-better offer at $79.

In what is the first notable discount on Nothing Ear (3a), the earbuds are down to $79.99 both on Nothing's website and Amazon. It's a 20% discount at a time where Nothing Ear (3) and the last-gen Nothing Ear (a) are both around 10% off.

As we called out in our recent review, Nothing Ear (3a) punch way above their price, offering excellent sound quality and virtually no missing functionality compared to earbuds at twice the cost.

Personally, I think they're just "the best earbuds," no caveat needed:

I spent a while trying to figure out the best way to position these earbuds. It's easy to say they're the best option for $99. It's easy to say they compete with more expensive options at a fraction of the price. But, honestly, I think there's a simpler way to describe them. Nothing Ear (3a) are quite possibly the best earbuds. No qualifiers, no caveats. Just the best earbuds you can buy right now. 9to5Google Review

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
