Nothing Ear 1 true wireless earbuds will be available for purchase in India again on August 31. The company has confirmed the sale date for the second batch of devices.
Launched back in July, these new earbuds went on sale for the first time only on August 17. Recently Carl Pei, Founder of the company tweeted saying that they managed to sell about 4,800 units of Nothing Ear 1 in less than 2 minutes on Flipkart.
Given that the product is priced much lower than the global pricing and the amount of hype created by the company before the launch, one could have guessed that these TWS will be sold out in a flash. The company hasn’t revealed how many units will be available for purchase on the next sale day which is August 17.
Thanks for the great response on ear (1) pre-orders. Next sale of ear (1) on 31 Aug, 12 PM on Flipkart. Same offers shall be available.#nothing #SoundOfChange #ear1August 24, 2021
