Hot take: Nothing Ear 2 are better than my $300 Sonys (maybe I'm crazy?)

I was scrolling through TikTok and saw 81 people raving about Nothing Ear 2. The algorithm got me. I spent like 4 hours on YouTube comparing Nothing Ear 2 to other earbuds. The consensus seemed to be that the transparent design is legit. I've put about 126 hours on them. Mostly during my commute in Portland. The case feels a little cheap. For $149.99 I'm not complaining though. Would I buy them again? 100%. If you're in Portland and looking for earbuds, just get these. Don't overthink it like I did.
