After a quiet period, Nothing is making a bold return with two major product announcements—most notably, its first-ever over-the-ear headphones, Nothing Headphone (1), launching globally, including in India, on July 1. This comes alongside rising anticipation for the Nothing Phone (3).
The Nothing Headphone (1) is creating buzz not just for being the company's debut in the over-ear segment, but also for its eye-catching, retro-modern design. Leaks reveal a build that combines transparent elements—a Nothing signature—with a rectangular base and a cassette-inspired oval island on each earcup. Two color variants are expected: white with silver inserts and black with dark grey inserts.
The headphone features:
-
USB Type-C port
-
3.5mm headphone jack
-
Multiple physical buttons on one earcup (possibly for power, volume, and playback)
-
“Sound by KEF” branding, indicating a collaboration with the premium audio brand KEF, known for high-fidelity audio gear.
This collaboration is significant—KEF is renowned in the audiophile community, and this pairing suggests that Nothing aims to bring premium sound quality alongside its distinctive design.
Though official specs remain under wraps, leaked pricing hints at a premium tier:
-
$309 in the US (~Rs 26,800)
-
£299 in the UK (~Rs 35,000)
Indian pricing will be revealed on July 1, but it's expected to be competitive within the premium audio segment.
In all, Nothing Headphone (1) could be a bold statement piece—fusing design, innovation, and high-end audio in a way that might set a new standard for the brand.
