You Can Get These Nothing Over-Ear Headphones for 27% Off Right Now.
The Nothing Headphones (1) are now on sale for $219, down from their $299 list price, giving you $80 off your first pair of Nothing over-ear headphones . In keeping with the company’s signature design, they feature transparent elements and bold geometric details that set them apart from the typical matte-black models. But the appeal isn’t just in the looks. These IP52-rated headphones use 40mm drivers, hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), and USB-C and 3.5mm ports. They also support high-resolution audio via LDAC, and the Nothing companion app provides basic and advanced EQ controls for customizing your sound. Battery life is also impressive: up to 35 hours with ANC on and up to 80 hours with ANC off.
But the hardware alone isn’t enough to fully immerse you in the world of wireless headphones —it’s the control scheme that makes them unique. Instead of touchpads or bulky buttons, you get a convenient volume wheel (they call it a “roller”), a multi-function joystick button for navigating tracks, and a customizable button for switching EQ profiles or noise-canceling modes. The tactile sensations take a little getting used to, but once you do, they become intuitive and truly useful. You also get support for spatial audio and multipoint Bluetooth, which work well on Android and iOS.
However, comfort can vary. The ear pads aren’t the softest for long sessions, and although they have a soft lining, the shape may not be suitable for everyone. As for performance, the active noise cancellation system handles low-frequency noise well (such as aircraft engines and AC hum), but struggles with harsher, unexpected sounds, such as clattering dishes or nearby conversations. The sound profile is quite rich, especially with a little EQ adjustment in the app, but achieving the best results will require some effort, according to a PCMag review .
