Technical Specifications

Equipped with a 12.4 mm dynamic driver coated in titanium‑treated PET and surrounded by PEEK‑PU, Buds Neo delivers deep bass while keeping vocals crisp. Six EQ presets (Pop, Rock, Electronic, Classical, Enhance Vocals) and a custom EQ option via the Nothing X app let users fine‑tune the audio.
