Nothing's first pair of real headphones are coming soon — here's what we know so far
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nothing is back at it with a new hardware reveal in the Nothing Headphone (1), slated for official debut alongside its Phone (3) on July 1. Nothing CEO Carl Pei voiced his optimism about the forthcoming set of gadgets, citing the launch at the tail end of his speech at SXSW London on Thursday. It's likely to be the brand's first set of over-ear headphones, which have so far designed some of the best wireless earbuds. There's very little we know about the new Nothing Headphone (1), though Pei did confirm the naming. It fits with alternative Nothing-branded devices, such as the Nothing Ear (3) and Nothing (open). One thing you can expect is a ChatGPT integration as seen across Nothing's audio and smartphone lineup. We tried ChatGPT with the Nothing Ear to solid results, and it's cropped up on almost every release so far, so it would only make sense for it to debut on the Nothing Headphone (1), as well. You can also expect a competitive price. Nothing might be known for premium products, but it usually stamps them with a significant value proposition. Most Headphone (1) pricing rumors suggest around $400, which undercuts the new Sony WH1000-XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones by about $50. Another particular highlight for Nothing's brand is its design ethos. It loves its transparent technology and LED glyph lighting, made popular on its Nothing Ear (1) and Nothing Phone (1). Mockups abound on what the Nothing Headphone (1) could inevitably look like. While mostly relegated to its smartphone side, it would be interesting to see Nothing's glyph design pop up on the Headphone (1), especially in reference to certain modes or features like ANC, incoming calls, or ChatGPT. The glyph integration could not only put Sony and Apple in their place, but mark it as one of the best headphones in terms of chic alone. Nothing recently announced an ongoing audio partnership with KEF, a high-end speaker and headphone maker, but reports suggest this most likely pertains to the Phone (3)'s internal speakers. We'll have to wait and see. More information about Nothing's first-ever pair of headphones is set to be unveiled on July 1 alongside the Phone (3) itself.

Nothing Phone 3: everything we know so far
The Nothing Phone 3 is the next flagship phone from the up-start tech firm doing things a little differently when it comes to product design, with a focus on making products that standout in a world where devices are seemingly more similar than ever. Nothing CEO, Carl Pei, has said the Phone 3 is the company's 'first true flagship smartphone', promising users 'premium materials, major performance upgrades, and software that really levels things up.' Recommended Videos It'll sit above the mid-range Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro in Nothing's smartphone line-up, as the ultimate showcase of the company's vision. So Nothing is making bold claims about the handset, and as we edge closer to its July launch here's everything we know so far about the Nothing Phone 3. Nothing Phone 3 latest news June 6 : Nothing posts a teaser image showing a small section of the design of the phone : Nothing posts a teaser image showing a small section of the design of the phone June 3: Nothing confirms the Phone 3 launch event will be on July 1 at 6pm BST (10am PDT, 1pm EDT) Nothing Phone 3 release date and price The Nothing Phone 3 launch date has been confirmed for July 1, 2025. The launch is set to kick off at 6pm BST (10am PDT, 1pm EDT). It means we're mere weeks away from seeing what Nothing has in store for us with its first 'proper' flagship phone. It looks like it won't be alone on launch day either, with Nothing also teasing that its over-ear Headphone 1 set of cans might arrive alongside the phone. Come to Play. Phone (3). 1 July, 18:00 BST. — Nothing (@nothing) June 3, 2025 We've also been given a hint as to the Nothing Phone 3 price, with Pei revealing the upcoming handset will cost around £800, which would place it in the same ballpark as the base model iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S25. According to leaker Roland Quandt, the Nothing Phone 3 could cost $799 in the US (apparently with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage), with a larger storage variant priced at $899 (16GB/512GB). It's a significant increase over the Nothing Phone 2, which arrived at $599 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the 12GB/256GB configuration cost $799. As for when you'll actually be able to get your hands on the phone, we're still waiting to find out the Nothing Phone 3 release date. We expect all will be revealed on July 1. Nothing Phone 3 design Design is a major cornerstone of Nothing's ethos, with its previous devices featuring its unique 'Glyph' interface and novel lights on the rear of the phones – however for the Phone 3 this could be dropped if its cryptic 'we killed the glyph interface' post on X is to be believed. Unsurprisingly, Nothing is teasing 'ultra-precise engineering' for the Phone 3, and has already shown us a couple of images of the handset's design elements – albeit from a very close-up perspective. Pei is promising the use of premium materials for the Phone 3, going some way to justifying the increase in cost of the handset over its predecessor. The two teaser images show that we're likely to see the Phone 3 arrive in a white color, but rumors suggest black will also be an option. Nothing Phone 3 power and software While we've not seen any concreate leaks on which chipset the Nothing Phone 3 will have, there's a chance it could pack Qualcomm's top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC considering the talk of 'premium materials' and it being the firm's 'first true flagship'. Whatever Nothing opts for, rumors suggest the chip will be accompanied by either 12GB or 16GB of RAM, with the choice of 128GB or 256GB of storage. Nothing claims the Phone 3 will come with 'software that really levels things up' with another heavy Android OS overlay as Nothing applies its design language to what's displayed on screen, as well as the physical device in your hand. That means you'll get Nothing OS 3.0, with AI built-in. Nothing claims this allows the system to learn from you, and work with you – like a team mate apparently. Pei says you'll get 'the best of Android in a package which feels completely different.'
