Nothing Headphones 1
The company has launched the Nothing Headphones 1 for $299. The design of this headphone looks completely different and futuristic from the headphones of other companies as we have seen in Nothing’s smartphones and earbuds. In this headphone, the company has given a transparent look which looks attractive and makes it different from other headphones. Some people may like its vibe, while others may feel a little uncomfortable wearing it in public.
Design
The design is a mix of Apple’s AirPods Max and vintage 80s FM headphones. Nothing Headphones 1 looks good, no doubt about it. The body is made of a mix of plastic and aluminum, but the side borders have an aluminum finish, unlike the aluminum build of Apple’s $549 AirPods Max.
The best part of the Nothing Headphone 1 are its buttons and controls.
There’s a rubbery round rotating button for volume control – you can turn it up or down. Pressing it plays or pauses music, and holding it down switches between noise cancelling, transparency, and normal mode.
A second button (the paddle button) lets you change songs, skip back, or hang up.
There’s also a dedicated custom button on the right side. You can customize it using the Nothing X app — like turning on a voice assistant (like Google or Siri), changing the volume (EQ), muting the mic, or turning on a special sound mode.
Sound and Noise Canceling
The sound quality is pretty good. It’s not as powerful as the AirPods Max, but it’s more balanced and clear than the more expensive headphones from Bose and Sony. If you’re looking to buy these for daily use, then these are the best for you — the sound is clear and enjoyable. It offers the same good sound quality as Nothing’s earbuds, which are already a hit.
Noise cancelling is also great. It blocks out subway noise, traffic noise.
Final Thoughts – Should I Buy Them or Not?
The Nothing Headphone 1 is a new step in the world of headphones and the company has tried to do something different. Its design is unique, it has smart buttons and the sound is also good.
But its design will not be liked by everyone. If you like the unique style of the Nothing brand, and you want headphones with great noise cancelling and which you can customize according to your needs – then this is definitely worth trying once.
Just remember this – if you go out wearing it, people will definitely look at you. Now whether you like it or not is up to you to decide
