Nothing Headphone (1) Debuts With Premium Sound, Hybrid ANC, and Up to 80-Hour Battery Life

Nothing Expands Audio Lineup With First Over-Ear Headphones

Nothing, renowned for its distinctive transparent design and breakthrough wireless earbuds, has officially entered the over-ear headphone market with the all-new Nothing Headphone (1). Boasting a futuristic transparent aesthetic on the ear cups, these headphones are designed to rival top-tier noise-cancelling models from industry leaders such as Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser.

Cutting-Edge Audio Technology and KEF Collaboration

Developed in collaboration with the iconic British audio brand KEF, the Nothing Headphone (1) promises a studio-grade listening experience. Inside each pair are powerful 40mm dynamic drivers, expertly tuned alongside the drivers, chambers, and proprietary software for a signature sound that’s both rich and balanced. Users can personalize their audio profile with the eight-band equalizer available in the Nothing X app. The headphones support high-quality AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and superior wireless sound.

Advanced Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation

Equipped with a total of six built-in microphones, the Headphone (1) is engineered for immersive listening, featuring 42dB hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) to effectively block out unwanted background noise. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures fast and stable connectivity, while dual device pairing, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair streamline the pairing process. In-ear detection automatically pauses or resumes music when you take the headphones off or put them on, delivering a seamless user experience.

Premium Build, Controls, and Battery Life

Weighing just 329 grams, the headphones are both comfortable and durable, offering IP52-rated resistance against dust and water. Physical controls on the ear cups include a rotary dial for precise volume adjustment, a paddle for skipping tracks, and a customizable button to toggle between ANC modes, activate your voice assistant, or answer calls.

Exceptional Battery and Versatile Connectivity

Battery life is a standout feature, with Headphone (1) delivering up to a remarkable 80 hours of playback (without ANC activated) on a single charge, courtesy of its robust 1,040mAh battery. Charging is handled via USB-C for convenience, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is available for users who prefer wired listening.
