Nothing Headphone 1 Price & Colors Leaked—And It’s Looking Good
Okay, so Nothing’s at it again. Just when we thought they’d played all their cards, here comes the Nothing Headphone 1, leaking all over the internet like an overexcited fan. Launching on July 1 alongside the Nothing Phone 3, these over-ears are already causing a stir. And honestly? The price and colors might just make this the most interesting headphone drop of the year.
What We Know So Far (And Some Wild Guesses)
Look, Nothing’s got this whole transparent design thing down—it’s like their signature move. But headphones? That’s new territory. Here’s the lowdown:
- Noise Cancellation: ANC is basically table stakes now. If these don’t have it, they’re dead on arrival.
- See-Through Bits: Because apparently we all want our gadgets to look like they’re from a sci-fi movie.
- Sound: If they’re anything like the Ear (1), we’re in for a treat. But over-ears are a whole different ball game.
Here’s the thing though—specs are one thing, but how they actually feel
Price Tag Shock (The Good Kind)
Now this is where it gets juicy. Check out these numbers:
- India: Probably around ₹30k if we’re lucky
- UK: £299 (because Brexit means everything costs more there now)
US: $309 (which is, what, like ₹25k?)
Compared to Sony’s WH-1000XM5 or those ridiculous AirPods Max? It’s practically a steal. Assuming they don’t sound like tin cans, obviously.
Colors That’ll Make You Look Twice
Nothing’s always been about looking different, and this time it’s no exception:
- The Safe Bets: Black and white for people who match their headphones to their LinkedIn profile
- The Showstoppers: Those transparent parts that make you feel like you’re wearing the future
- Wild Cards: Rumor has it there might be some crazy limited edition colors coming later
Let’s be real—half the reason people buy Nothing products is to flex on Instagram. And these? They’ll flex hard.
Mark Your Calendars
July 1 is the big day. Nothing usually does these funky launch events—expect flashing lights, dramatic music, and probably Carl Pei looking smug in a black turtleneck. Word on the street is there might be a phone + headphones bundle too, which could be sweet if you’re all-in on the Nothing ecosystem.
How They Stack Up
| Nothing HP1 | Sony XM5 | AirPods Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Less kidney | One kidney | Both kidneys |
| ANC | Probably good | Gold standard | Apple magic |
| Battery | All day | All day+ | Half day |
Who’s this for? People who want great sound without looking like every other basic tech bro on the metro. You know who you are.
Should You Buy Them?
Here’s my take—if you’re already deep into the Nothing universe, you’re probably gonna buy these no matter what I say. For everyone else? Maybe wait for the reviews, especially on the noise cancellation. But let’s be honest, with that price and those looks, they’re gonna sell like crazy regardless.
Quick Answers to Questions You Might Have
When can I get these?
July 1, unless there’s some last-minute drama.
Will they come in pink?
Not at launch, but knowing Nothing, they’ll drop some wild color later just to mess with us.
Are they worth it?
If they sound half as good as they look? Absolutely. But your ears might disagree—better to try before you buy if you can.
