Product Information
With their powerful, hi-res sound, luxurious comfort, knockout style and tactile control, the Nothing Headphone (a)’s are too good to pass by.
Headphones that want for nothing
Uniquely stylish, comfortable, easy to control and with outstanding battery life, the Nothing Headphone (a) are supremely well-rounded. And that’s before you get to the sound quality. Certified for Hi-Res Audio, they sound crisp, detailed and dynamic, effortlessly connecting you to the heart of the music. With adaptive noise cancelation, you get to focus on the music, isolated from the world outside.
Signature design
Finished with Nothing’s signature transparent casings, the Headphone (a)’s proudly display the sophisticated engineering that lies beneath. The ear cups’ high-gloss surface adds depth and dimensionality to the design, further enhancing the standout style. For the aesthetic that best suits you, the Nothing Headphone (a) are available in white, black, yellow and pink headphone colours.
Tactile control
For truly intuitive use, the Headphone (a) has a tactile control for each task, meaning you don’t have to remember which button does what. Use the Roller control to adjust the volume, play/pause with a click and toggle ANC modes with a long press. Meanwhile, the Paddle control skips between tracks or podcasts. The Button control is configurable in the Nothing X app, and is ideal for switching between favourite sources, without having to reach for your phone.
Certified for Hi-Res Audio
Supporting LDAC and certified for Hi-Res Audio, the Headphone (a) deliver sound that’s richly-balanced and packed with sparkling detail. For connection versatility, the headphones come supplied with USB-C and 3.5mm cables that support hi-res audio files up to 24-bit/96kHz, meaning that you can enjoy the highest quality audio, however you’re connected.
Powerful and immersive sound
Featuring 40mm titanium-coated drivers, with high excursion voice coils, the Headphone (a)’s deliver deep, punchy bass and ultra-low levels of distortion. For an even more enveloping listening experience, Spatial Audio transforms any stereo signal into immersive audio that expands the soundstage, putting you at the heart of the action.
Clear calls
Nothing’s 3-microphone Environmental Nosie Cancellation system picks up your voice with precision, isolating it from external noise. An AI-adaptive algorithm learns and predicts environmental changes, further enhancing call quality and ensuring you’re always coming through loud and clear to your caller.
Escape the background noise with active noise cancellation
Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) with three settings (low, mid and high) lets you choose how much of the outside world you need to block out. When you need to hear your surroundings, a quick tap activates Transparency Mode, without having to pause the music. There’s also a Hybrid ANC mode that uses AI-enhanced technology with dual feedforward and feedback microphones, that adapts the cancellation levels in real time. This means that as you move between noisy and quiet environments, the noise cancellation is set at the ideal level for the best sound quality and most efficient power use.
Outstanding battery life
With noise cancellation switched off, the Headphone (a)’s deliver an outstanding battery life of up to 135 hours. Switch it on and you get a still impressive 75 hours – enough for a month’s worth of commuting. If you’re running late, a quick five minute charge is all that’s needed for an additional eight hours listening time.
Durable comfort
Rated to the IP52 standard, the Headphone (a)’s provide everyday protection from dust and rain showers. Durability testing includes 50 trials covering everything from drop impact to temperature resistance, ensuring your headphones are designed to last. Although strong, the metal-hinged, flexible steel headband is padded for comfort and spreads the load evenly across your head. Memory foam earpads and optimised cup depth ensures a secure and comfortable fit for all – even if you have ear piercings.
Nothing X – advanced app control
Delivering a more personalised experience, the Nothing X app opens up a host of extra features. The advanced 8-band EQ lets you set the sound to perfection and even share the settings with the rest of the Nothing community. Dual connections let you switch between devices, while a dedicated low-latency mode reduces lag for more responsive video and gaming. The app also functions as a voice note recorder and can even access ChatGPT on your Nothing device.
