A new Nothing Ear 3a leak from tipster Rakesh Chakma on Twitter reveals that Nothing is preparing new audio products. Indonesia’s SDPPI authority certified the Nothing Ear 3a under model number B193 and certification number 122342/DJID/2026 on June 2, 2026. The database also listed the CMF Buds Neo with model number B190 and certification number 122343/DJID/2026. The CMF Buds Neo has also surfaced on India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database, hinting at a wider rollout alongside previous models like the CMF Buds and CMF Buds Pro 2.
Nothing Ear 3a leak Specification
This Nothing Ear 3a details minor technical upgrades over the older Nothing Ear (a). The upcoming Nothing Ear 3a specs show 46dB active noise cancellation, which is a slight bump over the 45dB hybrid ANC found on the predecessor. The older version relied on 11mm dynamic drivers and LDAC codec support for high-bitrate streaming, which established the baseline audio quality for this tier.
According to the Nothing Ear 3a leak, battery life receives the most noticeable improvement. The new model delivers 50 hours of playback with a 30-minute charge, compared to the 42.5 hours of total playback and 9.5 hours of continuous use on the previous generation. This upcoming version also adds a dedicated talk button for easier user interaction. The expected Nothing Ear 3a price in India sits at ₹7,999.
We are still waiting for an official Nothing Ear 3a release date, but the regulatory filings indicate that a launch is nearing. Separate rumors also mention an unannounced Nothing Phone 5a smartphone, though concrete details remain scarce. Ultimately, this Nothing Ear 3a leak confirms that Nothing is focusing on budget-friendly value to better balance its lineup against overlapping CMF products.
