Nothing has officially expanded its audio portfolio with the announcement of the Headphone (a), a vibrant and high-performance addition to their over-ear lineup.
Combining the brand’s iconic transparent design language with a fresh, expressive aesthetic, these headphones are available in four distinct colors: Pink, Yellow, White, and Black.
Weighing in at a lightweight 310g, the device is engineered for all-day comfort using breathable memory foam cushions and features an IP52 rating for certified protection against dust and water splashes.
The standout feature of the Headphone (a) is its industry-leading endurance, delivering a remarkable five days—or 135 hours—of continuous listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) turned off.
This battery performance significantly outlasts many current market leaders, making it an ideal companion for long-haul travel. For users in a rush, a quick five-minute rapid charge provides five hours of playback.
Control is handled through tactile physical inputs, including a Roller, Paddle, and Button integrated into the ear cups, which avoid the common frustrations of touch interfaces.
New features like Channel Hop allow for instant app switching, while the Camera Shutter mode enables the Button to act as a remote trigger for a paired smartphone.
Audio quality is driven by 40mm titanium-coated drivers and Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless certification using the LDAC codec.
The device utilizes Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, which employs a 3-mic AI algorithm to adjust cancellation levels in real-time based on the environment and fit. Users can further customize their experience via the Nothing X app, which offers an 8-band Advanced EQ and a real-time Bass Enhancement algorithm.
