Nothing has done almost everything right with the Headphone (1): the price, design and operation have the wow factor. When it comes to the sound, you have to tweak the equaliser to elicit a "Wow!". Fortunately, this is possible.
A design that attracts attention and makes a statement. With balanced high-fidelity sound. Natural voices and rich details give your style a voice. For confident listening, every day. Headphone (1) ensures efficient sound transmission and deep, rich bass thanks to the customised 40 mm speaker and the highly linear earpiece design with PU membrane. The PU cushion material is more effective than conventional materials such as PET and ensures deeper, richer tones in the lower frequency range. With a width of 8.9 mm, it exceeds industry standards, minimises distortion and stabilises the driver so that precise vibrations are possible. The cone, rim and dome of the speaker are nickel-plated. This ensures clearer highs and at the same time rich, powerful bass - so you can experience more layers of sound. The added rigidity of the cone reduces distortion and brings out the subtle sound textures in every track. The evenly structured dome ensures a natural, clear sound. This means less distortion and clear sound even at high volumes. The sound of Headphone (1) has been tuned in collaboration with KEF - a long-established British audio brand with over 60 years of expertise. Using KEF's advanced measurement and analysis tools and in-depth expertise, a sound profile has been created that reproduces music as the artists intended. KEF stands for precise tuning and natural balance, providing a level of refinement that enhances every listening experience. The result is an immersive sound that is detailed, vibrant and authentic in every genre.

Nothing has done almost everything right with the Headphone (1): the price, design and operation have the wow factor. When it comes to the sound, you have to tweak the equaliser to elicit a "Wow!". Fortunately, this is possible.

The Nothing Headphone (1) is a bold move. The design, operation, sound and app form a well thought-out overall picture that sets it apart from the rest of the market. Of course, the weight should not be underestimated and can be a real deal-breaker for some users. But if you can cope with this, you get a well-rounded, independent product that can keep up with the big players in many areas - and doesn't...

The Nothing Headphone (1) is a great-looking pair of over-ear headphones with good controls and an impressive battery life. However, neither the sound nor the noise cancellation do not do justice to the relatively high price. The rating is therefore correspondingly low.
The headphones (1) deliver a powerful, albeit somewhat lacklustre sound and effective noise cancelling. They sit comfortably on the head and offer a long battery life. In addition to the stylish look, the features and excellent controls on the headphones are also very appealing. For an entry into the over-ear market, this is very good.
