Introducing Nothing Headphone (a)
London-based consumer technology brand Nothing has unveiled its latest product, the
Headphone (a), enhancing its lineup of over-ear headphones. This innovative product combines playfulness with powerful features, showcasing a bold color palette of pink, yellow, white, and black. With a unique design typical of Nothing, this headphone offers up to
five days of continuous playback on a single charge, making it perfect for both fashion enthusiasts and music lovers.
Striking Style and Evolved Design
The Headphone (a) introduces an expressive new color selection, further evolving Nothing's signature design. The addition of pink and yellow to the lineup imbues it with a sense of fun and accessibility. Weighing just
310 grams, its lightweight construction, paired with breathable memory foam cushions, ensures comfort for all-day wear. Compliance with
IP52 standards protects the headphones from dust and dirt, making them reliable for workouts or inclement weather.
Class-Leading Endurance
The Headphone (a) boasts exceptional battery performance. In
ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) off mode, it delivers up to
135 hours of playback, perfect for long trips. Imagine flying from London to New York and back seven times without needing a charge! Plus, a quick
five-minute charging gives users an additional five hours, ideal for those in a hurry.
Effortless Control
This model incorporates tactile navigation similar to the well-received Headphone (1), allowing for fingertip control. Users can intuitively manage all functions without the hassle often associated with touch interfaces. From adjusting volume to navigating media and switching ANC modes, everything is at your fingertips with precision. The channel hop feature lets you switch between favorite apps or functions instantly, while the newly integrated
camera shutter mode transforms the button into a remote for hands-free photography with paired smartphones.
Premium Sound Quality
The Headphone (a) prioritizes audio clarity with support for wireless high-resolution audio and
LDAC codec, accurately reproducing every note of your favorite songs. Featuring lightweight and stiff
40mm titanium-coated drivers, it guarantees powerful, distortion-free sound that honors the artist’s intention.
The headphones come equipped with
adaptive ANC that offers three preset levels of noise cancellation—low, medium, and high. Need to be aware of your surroundings? Switch to ambient mode to easily incorporate external sounds. Utilizing AI, the noise cancellation adjusts in real-time based on environmental sounds and the headphone's usage, thanks to advanced algorithms trained on over
28 million noise scenarios, enhancing vocal clarity even in crowded situations.
Customize Your Sound Experience with Nothing X
With the
Nothing X app, users can create personalized sound profiles using a professional-grade
eight-band equalizer. Not only can you make simple adjustments, but you can also create custom profiles to share within the Nothing community.
Pricing and Availability
The Headphone (a) will be available in four colors: black, white, pink, and yellow for
¥27,800 (including tax). Pre-orders start on
March 5, 2026, on Nothing’s official website and selected partner sites, with general sales commencing on
