For $269, down from $299, these Nothing Headphones come in at its lowest tracked price yet, according to price trackers . That discount puts them below heavyweights like Bose and Sony , both of which cost well over $400, while still promising strong sound, active noise cancellation , and an undeniably original design. The caveat is that these headphones aren’t a plug-and-play experience—you’ll need to spend some time in the Nothing X app to really unlock their potential, notes this PCMag review . For anyone who doesn’t mind tinkering, though, they offer something different from the usual crowd.

Design is where Nothing makes its biggest statement. The Headphone (1) continues the company’s transparent look, but adds rectangular outer frames to oval earcups. It’s bold, though not everyone might love the shape. Comfort is fine, but not exceptional. The over-ear headphones are on the heavier side, and the clamp force can reportedly feel a bit tight if you’re wearing them for long stretches. What they do nail are the controls. Instead of relying on unreliable swipes, you get a tactile scroll wheel for volume, a paddle for skipping tracks, and a button that can trigger your assistant or cycle through noise modes. Each control feels distinct, which makes them easier to use on the go. Connectivity is strong, too, with Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and support for AAC, SBC, and high-res LDAC . There’s also wired listening through USB-C (with lossless support) or the included 3.5mm cable.

Performance is mixed, but mostly in a good way. Out of the box, the 40mm drivers give you decent range, though things really open up once you adjust the EQ . That app is a standout, letting you tweak everything from basic presets to full multi-band adjustments, so you can shape the sound exactly how you like it. That said, while noise cancellation works well against steady hums like plane engines or air conditioners, sudden noises and close voices sneak through more than they would on pricier options. Also, they only carry an IP52 rating, meaning they’re fine for dust and small splashes, but they’re not built for downpours . As for battery life, you’ll get plenty of listening time, with about 35 hours on ANC, 30 if you’re using LDAC, and up to 80 if you go without.
