Nothing has entered the over-ear headphone space with Headphone (1), a pair designed to catch the eye and satisfy the ears. With their signature transparent aesthetic, physical controls, and sound engineered alongside KEF, these headphones aim to stand apart from the crowd.

The moment you hold them, the difference is clear. Aluminum, precision-cut parts, and memory foam create a comfortable yet sturdy feel. The ear cushions adapt to your head shape, and the adjustable arms ensure a secure fit. The design invites you to look closer, with exposed elements that reflect Nothing’s approach to tech.

Instead of touch controls, Headphone (1) uses physical buttons and dials. A roller adjusts volume, a paddle skips tracks, and a dedicated button manages noise cancellation. It’s straightforward, meant to work without second-guessing.

Sound is where KEF’s expertise comes in. The 40mm drivers deliver balanced audio, from deep bass to clear highs, and spatial audio with head tracking makes music feel more immersive. Noise cancellation adapts to your surroundings, and a five-minute charge adds hours of playback.

A unique feature is the customizable Button. Through Nothing’s app, it can switch between audio apps, activate voice commands, or open Essential Space, a simple tool for quick notes or reminders.
