Today's prices
Apple AirPods 4 (price being collected) and Nothing Ear (3) (price being collected) are today only a few hundred crowns apart in total; shipping and the shop decide.
Both totals come from rated shops; an unrated shop's offer would be shown but never recommended.
Differences
AirPods pair with an iPhone in one tap and switch between Apple devices; with Android they are ordinary Bluetooth earbuds.
Nothing Ear 3 have an app for both systems, an adjustable equaliser and better passive isolation thanks to silicone tips.
Advice
iPhone: AirPods. Android or both worlds: Nothing. Either way check the price chart; autumn drops are short.
Straps and cases are not earbuds; we drop them so the lowest price is never the price of a case.
Fordeal earns a commission when you buy through a link; it never changes the order of offers. Every price carries its capture time on the product page.
