Where Does Nothing X Store Ear Settings?
Nothing X keeps Ear earbud settings, EQ presets, and firmware state per pair. Earbuds hold the active config for any paired phone.
Last updated
Nothing X tunes Ear buds from the phone. EQ presets with custom curves, noise-cancellation modes, gesture assignments, and firmware state live in the app per paired buds. The earbuds keep the active config onboard.
That makes the app the editor with hardware as backup number two. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Personalized ANC tests hearing per ear; rerun it after tip-size changes. Dual-device pairing swaps on its own. Low-lag mode suits gaming sessions. Find-my-buds rings lost pieces.
