Nothing Unveils Headphone (1) with 80-Hour Battery and Premium Features

Nothing is expanding its audio lineup with the launch of its first over-ear headphones – the Nothing Headphone (1). Known for its unique transparent designs, Nothing brings the same signature style to these new headphones, aimed at competing with premium models from Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser.

High-Quality Sound with KEF Tuning

The Headphone (1) features 40mm dynamic drivers, developed in partnership with British audio brand KEF. KEF has helped tune the drivers, sound chambers, and software for a high-quality listening experience. Users can customize their sound with an eight-band equalizer using the Nothing X app. The headphones also support AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs for better sound quality.

Strong Noise Cancellation and Smart Features

The Headphone (1) uses a hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) system with six microphones, offering up to 42dB of noise reduction. They connect via Bluetooth 5.3, support dual device pairing, and offer Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for easy setup. There’s also in-ear detection to automatically play or pause music when you wear or remove the headphones.

Comfortable and Convenient Design

The Nothing Headphone (1) is designed to be both comfortable and easy to use, weighing just 329 grams and offering IP52-rated protection against dust and water. It features several built-in controls on the earcups, including a roller dial for adjusting volume, a paddle to skip tracks, and a customizable button that can be set to switch between ANC modes, activate the voice assistant, or answer calls.

Impressive Battery Life

The headphones come with a 1,040mAh battery, providing up to 80 hours of playback without ANC. They can be charged using a USB-C port, and there’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired use.

Price and Availability

The Nothing Headphone (1) will be available in black and white colors. It is priced at $299 in the US, €299 in Europe, £299 in the UK, and Rs 21,999 in India. Open sales will begin on July 15 through the official website, nothing.tech, and selected retail partners.
