Nothing’s Headphone 1 hit the scene back in July, and they’re already being discounted. Right now, you can pick up the brand’s first pair of over-the-ear headphones for an all-time low price of $269 ($30 off) at Amazon and Nothing’s online storefront.
What makes the Headphone 1 unique is their retro-transparent design that Nothing introduced with the Phone 1. Similar to other high-end headphones, they support features like active noise cancellation, spatial audio with head tracking, and comfortable ear pads. In our review, The Verge’s Andru Marino said they were comfortable during extended use, surpassing even the premium Sony WH-1000XM6. Speaking of extended use, the headphones deliver great battery life, lasting days with continuous listening during our testing.
Beyond comfort, one of the standout features of the Headphone 1 is the button design. You can control the volume, play and pause audio, and switch between listening modes (noise canceling, transparency, or off) with a roller located on the right ear cup. A paddle button allows you to skip tracks, fast forward or rewind, or hang up or decline calls when held down. There’s also a customizable button on the outside of the right ear cup that can be set to launch a voice assistant like Google Gemini, mute the microphone, or enable spatial audio.
The market of really good noise-canceling headphones is more competitive than ever right now, but the Headphone 1 manage to carve out a niche thanks to its set of high-end features and unique design. If that’s something you’re looking for — and you want to save some money — the Headphone 1 are a solid option.
