After revealing several TWS earbuds, Nothing is set to release its first over-ear headphones on July 1. Named the Nothing Headphone (1), details about the technical specs of these headphones have been leaked.
Design and Appearance
The design of the Nothing Headphone (1) isn’t a mystery anymore, thanks to leaked renders, images from certification bodies, and real-world pictures. True to Nothing’s style, the headphones stand out from traditional designs. However, the internal components of the Headphone (1) are not particularly groundbreaking.
Audio Features
According to Android Headlines, the Nothing Headphone (1) will feature 40mm dynamic drivers equipped with nickel-coated diaphragms. The audio tuning is done by KEF, a British audio firm that Nothing announced a partnership with a few months ago. Additionally, the headphones will offer adaptive bass enhancement, spatial audio, and an 8-band custom EQ.
Moreover, the new headphones will come with active noise cancellation (ANC) that can adapt up to 42db. They will also include a transparency mode, useful for when you need to be aware of your environment.
Microphone and Connectivity
Interestingly, there is no information available regarding the number of microphones on the headphones. They also appear to lack a noise-canceling processor similar to the Sony WH-1000XM6, which is priced at $449.99 on Amazon. Despite this, the Nothing Headphone (1) will support spatial audio, wear detection, as well as AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs.
The Headphone (1) will utilize Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connectivity with Android and Windows devices, thanks to support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. Additionally, they will allow simultaneous connection to two devices. The leaked specifications also reference a “low lag mode” which should be beneficial for gaming. Users will also have the ability to create a personalized sound profile and locate the headphones through Google Find My Device.
Battery Life
With a 1,040mAh battery capacity, the Nothing Headphone (1) can deliver up to 80 hours of listening time on a single charge with ANC disabled, using AAC. While this is impressive, it’s still 20 hours less than the battery life of the Marshal Monitor III ANC headphones.
When ANC is activated, the battery life of Nothing’s headphones reduces to 35 hours. However, if using LDAC, the battery life with ANC off is 54 hours, and 30 hours with ANC on. A quick 5-minute charge will provide up to 5 hours of playback (with ANC off) when the battery runs low.
Compatibility and Dimensions
The Nothing Headphone (1) will be compatible with the Nothing X app, and users with a Nothing phone can adjust settings and EQ bands through the controls in the phone’s Settings app. The dimensions of the Headphone (1) are 173.85 x 78 x 189.25 mm, and it weighs 329 grams. There will also be a case measuring 230 x 220 x 52 mm with a weight of 264 grams.
The Nothing Headphone (1) is anticipated to launch in three colors and will be available in Europe, Asia, and North America.
