Nothing Headphone (1) Real Images: Transparent Look Stays True
The Nothing Ear (1) was the company’s first-ever product. Now, with the Headphone (1), the brand is going back to its origin while entering the over-ear segment for the first time.
Just like its earlier products, Headphone (1) keeps the transparent aesthetic alive. The outer part of the earcups has see-through plastic with visible internal parts, giving the headset a unique and futuristic look. It’s not something you’ll confuse with other brands.





Here’s what the leaked renders and images show:
- Transparent oval earcups mounted on rectangular bases.
- The oval sections seem to feature microphone holes.
- Cushioned headband and earcups for better comfort.
- Physical buttons on both earcups — likely for power, volume, and playback.
- A circular button is spotted on the left cup, possibly for voice assistant or ANC toggle.
Nothing Headphone (1) Design Breakdown: Looks Like a Cassette Tape
The earcups have a two-part build:
- The bottom half appears to be metallic, likely for durability.
- The top section has a cassette-tape-like plastic structure, adding a retro feel.
Each cup houses three physical buttons—two on the side and one more on the outside. These are likely for playback control, power, or switching features like ANC (active noise cancellation).


Despite being wireless headphones, one of the leaked images shows the use of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which means users will also have the option to plug in for wired listening—great news for audiophiles.
No Folding Hinges & Cushioned Comfort In Nothing Headphone (1)
The headband appears to be non-foldable, based on close-up shots. However, it features cushioning that should make the fit more comfortable for longer listening sessions.

Both Black and White color variants are seen in the leaks, though the White version may be replaced with Grey in some regions like the U.S.
Nothing Headphone (1) Developed with British Audio Brand KEF
In a surprising and exciting detail, Nothing has confirmed that Headphone (1) was co-developed with UK-based audio brand KEF, known for its premium sound tuning. This suggests that the new headphones might deliver not just style, but also high-quality audio performance.
Nothing Headphone (1) Expected Global Pricing
The Nothing Headphone (1) is expected to be priced in the premium segment, aligning with its bold design and partnership with audio brand KEF. While the prices are not officially confirmed yet, early leaks give us a rough estimate.
Region | Expected Price |
---|---|
United States | $309 (Approx. ₹26,700) |
United Kingdom | £299 (Approx. ₹34,700) |
Europe | €299 (Approx. ₹29,700) |
These prices suggest that Nothing is aiming to compete with top-tier headphone brands while still offering something visually and functionally unique. Regional availability and final pricing may vary slightly at launch.
Nothing Phone (3) Also Set for July 1 Debut
The Nothing Phone (3) is also launching on July 1, alongside the Headphone (1). Some key details are already confirmed, while leaks have revealed more.
Here’s what to expect:
- Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
- Display: 6.77-inch AMOLED, Full HD+
- Cameras: Triple rear setup, 50MP main sensor
