I didn't managed to test any units but I did buy one. I'm not an audiophille but they sounded great to me, good thumpy base, great mids and treble. I've tested a few earphones like the Sony WF-1000XM4 and Senheisser MTWS 2 and I personally prefer the Ear 2. Fit is not too great IMO and its noise cancellation is pretty normal.

For the price, I would say its very good value.

Yes its good enough for jogging although the fit can be better. But fit is very subjective.. Just like sound. I would honestly pay the same price as XM4 or MTWS 2 (didn't test the latest one) if we're only talking about sound quality.

In terms of noice cancellation it is still quite far off from the 2 above, even worse off of air pods pro 1.

right now i am using Redmi 4 pro, not an audiophile as well, listening to fb youtube talk-show type of video most of the time........jogging time will listen to techno trance music......

when saw the white version, waiting and hoping the black edition will release, just like the Ear (1)

I have nothing ear 2 and Apple AirPods gen 3. I prefer the ear 2, music quality a lot better. No regrets for the price I got it at. Almost 1/2 the price of AirPods lol.

For answering phone calls, which earbud will allow the receiver on the other end to hear your voice more clearly?

I bought a pair of Ear(2) black edition from vimobile via shopee, after coins and discounts was $137.

this replaced my airpods pro 2 (i sold it off cos it was Lightning and wanted to get USB C once out so Ear2 was a placeholder) but I don't think I will be buying the USB C APP anymore.

Ear(2) has almost everything I need for casual music listening:
- decent ANC (can still hear bus engines and very loud people on the bus/train but good enough for the price)
- USB C + wireless charging (very important; was why I got it over Sony Linkbuds S)
- Black looks sleek and cool
- sound quality is very good
- app looks futuristic, i set the EQ to more bass and can really feel the thump and rumbles

But some things are not too good but I can overlook them:
- shitty battery life (the buds last maybe 3-4 hours on a single listen). popping them back into the case for 5-10 minutes can last me for the bus home
- the default ear tips are horrible and no seal. bought an audio-technica one from Japan and much better now but will continue experimenting.
- don't like that the top cover is glossy plastic but at least it's high quality one, haven't seen a scratch yet (vs moondrop spaceship where the glossy plastic already full of scratches)

hmm I'm considering getting this now, but damn the battery life is quite a stopper

yeah the 4 hours per charge is really a bit disappointing. but some of the popular buds are around there too like Buds 2 Pro and one of JBL's (Live Pro 2 I think).

so 4 hours is on the low end, but not below average. I'd prefer 6 hours or more but that's just how it is.

thinking of getting Bose next but they are missing so many features that my Nothing has, so it's quite disappointing

How's the usage so far?

I find Buds 2 Pro mic really poor, in terms of background noises.

so far so good. only wish for 2 things:

- long battery life per charge
- stronger ANC (it already is quite good but you know versus Bose and Apple it trails behind haha)
