London-based tech brand Nothing is all set to make a bold entry into the premium audio segment with the launch of its first over-ear headphones, officially named the Nothing Headphone 1. The new product will be unveiled on July 1, 2025, the same day the company is also launching its much-anticipated Nothing Phone 3—making it a big day for tech enthusiasts and Nothing fans.
Nothing Headphone 1: Brand’s First Over-Ear Headphones
After starting its journey in 2021 with the popular Nothing Ear (1) true wireless earbuds, the company is finally stepping into the over-ear headphone space. The Nothing Headphone 1 sticks to the brand’s minimalist naming convention and is expected to carry the brand’s signature transparent design elements—offering a peek into the internal tech, which has become a Nothing trademark.
In a recently released YouTube teaser, Nothing’s top brass explained the motivation behind entering the headphone market. According to the brand, existing premium headphones lack innovation and excitement, prompting them to create something new and meaningful. They even mocked competitors like Sony’s WH-1000XM6 and hinted their product might outperform even Apple’s AirPods Max.
What to Expect from Nothing Headphone 1
While official specifications are still under wraps, the Nothing Headphone 1 is expected to offer high-end audio performance and premium build quality. The company has partnered with UK-based audio firm KEF, known for its world-class acoustic engineering. This collaboration is likely to play a key role in shaping the audio tuning and hardware of the Headphone 1.
Expected Price
Industry insiders suggest the Nothing Headphone 1 will carry a price tag around USD $299 (approx. ₹25,600). This puts it in direct competition with premium offerings like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Apple AirPods Max, signaling that Nothing is ready to go head-to-head with the big players.
Nothing Phone 3 Also Launching on July 1
Alongside the headphones, Nothing will also unveil its most powerful smartphone to date — the Nothing Phone 3. The upcoming phone is expected to feature flagship-level specs, a new dot matrix glyph design, and other major hardware upgrades. It will be the first true flagship from Nothing and is set to be available in India via Flipkart.
