Walmart Cuts Samsung Galaxy Watch FE to $119, Slashing 40% Off $199.99

Q: Could the $59 Nothing Ear (a) be the surprise holiday buy for shoppers who want strong ANC and bass without overspending?

Yes. At $59, the Nothing Ear (a) looks like the surprise value buy in Walmart’s holiday sale for shoppers who want strong noise canceling and a bass-forward sound without spending much. The case for it is straightforward. The earbuds offer up to 45dB active noise cancellation, Hi-Res audio support, dynamic bass boost, IP54 water resistance, multipoint connectivity, transparency mode, and support through the Nothing X app. Reviews in the supplied material describe the sound as warm and clearly bass-emphasized, which should appeal to listeners who want punchy low end for commuting, workouts, or casual everyday use. PCMag’s “Excellent” rating for sound and value strengthens that value argument. The price matters most. At $59, they undercut many better-known ANC earbuds while still offering features often reserved for pricier models. For holiday shoppers buying gifts or looking for an affordable personal upgrade, that combination is hard to ignore. The trade-offs are worth noting. Battery life is solid rather than class-leading, at about 6 hours with ANC on and up to 10 hours with it off, with roughly three extra charges from the case. The tuning may also be too bass-heavy for listeners who prefer a more neutral or vocal-forward sound. Even with those caveats, the Ear (a) stands out as a strong budget pick. For shoppers prioritizing ANC, bass, and price over audiophile balance, it may be one of the smartest low-cost holiday buys in the sale.
