Nothing doesn't like any of the headphones on the market so it's making its own
Oliver Cragg / Android Authority
TL;DR Nothing is developing its first pair of over-ear headphones.
The designers working on the product make comparisons to Sony's WH-1000XM6 and Apple's AirPods Max.
These headphones will launch sometime this summer.
Nothing has a decent amount of experience in making audio products, with releases like the Ear, the Ear Open, and the Ear A. However, these are all earbuds; the London-based company has never made a pair of over-ear headphones. Now, Nothing wants to use its experience to break into the headphone category.
Over on Nothing's YouTube channel, the company has published a new video revealing that it is working on over-ear headphones. While discussing Sony's recently launched WH-1000XM6, the designers talk about the design and how they 'don't like a single' over-ear headphone currently on the market. They also mention how expensive premium headphones, like Apple's AirPods Max ($550), are and how easy it is to mix up the control buttons while the device is on your head.
The team is looking to design over-ear headphones that say 'something about you when you're wearing' them. They also want to improve button interaction, so you know exactly what buttons you're touching when the product is on your head. And it seems that Nothing is attempting to make the sound quality comparable to premium headphones while keeping the cost down. The employees add that the headphones are 'some of the best sounding on the market, certainly in their price range, if not punching above their weight.'
As for when these headphones will be available, the team says they'll come out this summer. The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to launch in Q3 2025, meaning that there's a chance these headphones could launch alongside the company's next phone.

Prediction: This Unstoppable Stock Will Be the World's First $5 Trillion Company. (Hint: It's Not Apple.)
Nvidia's growth will propel it to the $5 trillion market cap spot first. Nvidia's growth would be reaccelerating if it weren't for U.S. export restrictions. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › While Apple historically wins the race to various valuation milestones, I think a different company will beat it to the punch to the $5 trillion level, and no, it isn't Microsoft either. I believe that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) will win this race, and thanks to its unwavering growth, it will leave both of these two in the dust in the march toward $5 trillion. Just how quickly will Nvidia reach that valuation milestone? It may be quicker than you think. Nvidia's impressive rise can be tied to one trend: artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia's primary products are graphics processing units (GPUs), which are high-powered computing devices that can process many calculations in parallel. GPUs can also be connected in clusters to amplify this effect, which is why you hear about AI supercomputing clusters being built with more than 100,000 GPUs. Nvidia is at the top of the GPU world, and most estimates point toward it having roughly a 90% market share. Few companies achieve that level of dominance, and no other company has ever been as dominant in a trend that is as important and quickly growing as AI. Nvidia's is truly an unprecedented story. That's why some investors (like me, in the past) underestimated Nvidia's potential. We've barely scratched the surface of what's possible with AI, and AI has yet to be fully integrated into workflows or personal life. This will require an unbelievable amount of computing power, which benefits Nvidia. A report by Dell'Oro Group says that 's data center capital expenditures in 2024 reached $455 billion, and Nvidia believes that number will it $1 trillion by 2028. If that's the case, then Nvidia's growth is far from over, something that its fiscal first-quarter results showcased. One thing that slightly affected Nvidia in the quarter was the loss of its China business. On April 9, the Trump administration established new rules that prevented Nvidia from selling H20 chips designed to meet the United States' previous export restrictions to China. This chip accounted for $4.6 billion of sales in Q1, which ended April 27, and Nvidia missed out on $2.5 billion in additional sales. Furthermore, the company expects about $8 billion in sales to be lost during the second quarter. This is unfortunate for Nvidia and hampers its growth case, but it provides some interesting numbers. For comparison's sake, let's add the lost $2.5 billion in sales to Q1's total and the $8 billion in Q2's projection. If we do that, these are the following growth rates that Nvidia would be posting (if it meets its guidance): Quarter Actual or Projected Revenue YOY Growth Rate Adjusted Revenue Adjusted YOY Growth Rate Q1 FY 2026 $44.1 billion 69% $46.6 billion 79% Q2 FY 2026 $45 billion 71% $53 billion 102% Data source: Nvidia. Note: YOY = Year over year. For reference, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, Nvidia's growth rate was 78%. This clearly indicates a trend: Growth is accelerating despite Nvidia's massive size if the H20 sales are added back in for a proper comparison. Another point to note is that Nvidia's management tends to beat its internal revenue guidance, so these figures may be a bit conservative. Regardless, if the U.S. government didn't create some headwinds for Nvidia, its stock would be soaring due to accelerating revenue, but that gets buried behind the China story. Regardless, I think this is a bullish sign for investors, and this growth will likely persist for some time. Wall Street currently projects Nvidia will grow its revenue by just 26% next year, but I think that is an underprojection. Even if it does match Wall Street's expectations, it will generate around $250 billion in revenue. At Nvidia's current price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, that would value the company at over $5 trillion, so if it meets expectations (which I think it will blow away), it could reach that $5 trillion level as soon as next year. That growth makes Nvidia a screaming buy right now, as I think there's another growth story kicking off that investors aren't ready for.

Apple's App Store generated nearly $1.3 trillion in sales in 2024
Apple's (AAPL) App Store facilitated almost $1.3 trillion in sales and billings in 2024, the company announced Thursday. The findings, part of a report commissioned by Apple and performed by Analysis Group's Jessica Burley and Boston University professor Andrey Fradkin, show that App Store sales across both physical and digital goods have exploded over the last 5 years, climbing from $514 billion in 2019 to $1.29 trillion last year. Some 78% of sales, $1.01 trillion worth, came via the sale of physical goods and services, which includes categories like general retail, travel, food delivery, and ride hailing. Another 10% came from digital goods and services like in-app purchases for games. The final 12% came from in-app advertising revenue. The US accounted for the majority of sales and billings related to both in-app purchase and in-app advertising, coming in at $53 billion, and $75 billion, respectively. China accounted for the largest market for physical goods and services by far, hitting $484 billion compared to the US's $277 billion. The study notes that Apple collected less than 10% of the $1.3 trillion via commissions. Apple collects a 30% commission on the sale of digital goods and services purchased through the App Store. Developers that made up to $1 million in the previous year pay a reduced 15% commission as part of Apple's Small Business Program. For subscriptions, the company collects an initial 30% commission, which then drops to 15% for each subsequent year. Governments around the world are scrutinizing Apple's App Store practices. South Korea requires Apple and rival Google to offer alternative in-app payment methods in the country, while the European Union and Japan require the companies to give users the ability to access third-party app stores. In the US, Apple is facing off against 'Fortnite' developer Epic Games as part of the duo's ongoing antitrust suit. At the heart of the matter is whether Epic should be able to circumvent Apple's in-app payment system, thereby avoiding Apple's App Store commissions. Epic initially accused Apple of violating antitrust laws by requiring developers to use the company's in-app payment systems. Ultimately, US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found that Apple didn't hold a monopoly over the market for 'digital mobile gaming transactions,' but did violate California's antitrust laws via anti-steering provisions in its App Store rules. As part of the ruling, Apple was supposed to allow developers to offer payment options outside of the App Store. Apple did, however, also collect a 27% commission on those payments. Last month, Gonzalez Rogers hit back at Apple saying CEO Tim Cook 'chose poorly,' in the move and ordered the company to remove the 27% commission. The healthy increase in App Store sales over the last 5 years could help ease some of investors' concerns around Apple's Services business. Apple currently collects roughly $20 billion a year in fees from Google as part of an agreement that requires Apple to make Google the default search engine for its Safari web browser. But that deal could be on the chopping block as part of Google's antitrust battle with the Justice Department. Email Daniel Howley at dhowley@ Follow him on X/Twitter at @DanielHowley.
