As a part of Nothing confirming that the Nothing Phone 3 will work in the US with official support on AT&T and T-Mobile networks and that there won’t be a ridiculous beta program situation, they also confirmed that they are launching over-the-hear headphones called Nothing Headphone (1). Those headphones have been kept a mystery for the most part, but now that mystery is gone thanks to what appears to be a silly influencer event where someone shared video of all the happenings. There are photos and press images too.
Nothing Headphone (1) images: Images and video of the Headphone (1) show off a boxy design with some translucent parts because this is a Nothing product. It has “Nothing headphone (1)” branding, as well as “SOUND BY KEF” text, a partnership that was previously announced. We have black and white/silver colors options, just like we’ve had with previous Nothing buds releases. There are physical buttons on the right cup for controls too, as well as a spot for an audio cable to connect.
That’s basically all we know for now. We won’t know the sound quality, comfort, or other features until Nothing fully reveals them on July 1.
The images above came from Instagram user nothing_fan_blog (here).
Telegram channel Equal Leaks shared the press images below and also shared the video of the private event. You can see that here.
How much are you willing to pay for Nothing’s over-hear headphones?
More importantly, "How do they sound?"
I can't unsee cassette tapes. I'm a big fan of Nothing and have most of their audio products. I'll have to wait for reviews/price before making a final decision on these.
I love how unique they are, Nothing has a great brand. I just bought the Ear buds and they're pretty amazing, incredible battery life. I'd hope these are $199 or less.
I was looking forward to their take on headphones. They've generally had good products that undercut the competition a bit and I think most of their designs have looked pretty cool. These, however, look terrible in my opinion! Total swing and miss. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and come out with a second generation that looks more like normal headphones.
To each their own.. I think they look great! Finally someone willing to make something different looking, and with their signature design elements.
I'm intrigued!
Nothing is exactly what I'm willing to pay for those tasteless abominations…
