Nothing's over-ear headphones are all about the buttons

Nothing's over-ear headphones are all about the buttons

The Verge01-07-2025
Nothing has launched its first pair of over-ear headphones, imaginatively named the Headphone 1. At $299, these are priced to compete with flagship fare, distinguished primarily by their distinctive Nothing design language — right down to the buttons.
While the boxy outline calls to mind Apple's AirPods Max, the semi-transparent detailing on the outside of each earcup is all Nothing. So are the buttons, all differently shaped, with some you press, some you flick, and some you toggle. They're meant to be more intuitive to use by touch alone, so you don't have to take the headphones off to remind yourself which button turns on pairing.
With active noise cancelling, spatial audio, and support for lossless playback, these tick off most of the usual high-end headphone features. There's 35 hours of battery life with noise cancelation on, an IP52 rating for water-resistance, and the audio itself was developed in partnership with HiFi brand KEF, with custom 40mm drivers.
My colleague Andru Marino has already reviewed the Headphone 1, so check out his review to find out how they stack up. Preorders launch on Friday, 4th July, with a full release on the 15th.

iSpecimen's $6M Valuation Doesn't Reflect the Business-Let Alone the $200M Treasury (NASDAQ: ISPC)

WOBURN, MA / / August 20, 2025 / A share price of $1.11. A $6.1 million market cap. Just 5.54 million shares outstanding. And a newly announced $200 million digital treasury. On paper, the disconnect between price and intrinsic value, let alone inherent potential, is hard to miss. But the real takeaway isn't just the contrast. It's what that contrast says about iSpecimen Inc. (NASDAQ:ISPC): a company with a functioning platform, measurable revenue, and real-world utility that remains miscategorized and underpriced by the market.(ISPC Share count and price data on 8/20/2025) The digital treasury announcement deserved headlines. It's rare for any microcap, especially in life sciences, to unveil a capital strategy of that scale. But the attention came with a surprising market reaction. Following the news, ISPC shares moved lower. That drop wasn't tied to any breakdown in the business. It was likely due to timing. The news hit after-hours, when retail investors had little access and institutions hadn't yet responded. What the market saw was the number. What it didn't see was the system behind it. Solving the Bottleneck in Life Sciences iSpecimen is not a clinical-stage biotech, nor is it speculative software. It operates a fully functional digital marketplace for human biospecimens-vital inputs for both preclinical and clinical research. The platform allows researchers to efficiently source high-quality, well-characterized specimens with full traceability and regulatory compliance. Blood, plasma, tissue, and genomically sequenced material are the raw materials of discovery, yet sourcing them has long been a fragmented, manual, and inefficient process. iSpecimen fixes that. Its proprietary, cloud-based platform lets researchers search, filter, and request exactly what they need based on disease state, demographic, clinical history, or processing requirements. On the other end, hospitals and labs can monetize excess inventory. iSpecimen handles compliance, logistics, and invoicing. The result is a streamlined transaction that unlocks value for both sides. This isn't a roadmap or beta test. The platform is live, and it's producing revenue. In 2024, the company posted $9.29 million in revenue. That number didn't come from grants or one-time licensing. It came from platform activity, repeated use, and institutional adoption. The Treasury is Not a Gimmick - It's a Strategic Asset The $200 million digital treasury that sparked attention isn't accounted for as cash on the balance sheet. But that doesn't mean it lacks financial weight. It is a capital preservation and liquidity strategy built to support long-term operations. Built on Solana, it features insured custody, cold storage, and a risk-managed structure that removes reliance on traditional capital markets. This isn't a distraction. It's financial insulation. It allows iSpecimen to grow without falling into the trap of repeated, dilutive financing. That kind of flexibility, especially for a microcap, is rare. But while the market focused on that headline, it missed the infrastructure behind it. iSpecimen's core business is still the real story. Expanding Reach Across Critical Therapeutic Areas Behind the scenes, the company is scaling its footprint across several high-value segments of medicine. In cancer research, it's now working with U.S.-based oncology centers and a genomic sequencing partner to deliver hard-to-source biospecimens for precision studies. In women's health, iSpecimen has access to over 600,000 patients through multi-state partnerships, unlocking samples across reproductive, hormone, and breast health. And in early 2025, the company proactively secured sourcing for human metapneumovirus (hMPV), anticipating potential waves of global research interest. Each of these initiatives adds operational depth to a platform that was already delivering. None of it would matter if the core system didn't work. But it does, and the results are increasingly visible. When the Market Doesn't Know Where to Look The mispricing here may stem from the fact that iSpecimen doesn't fit cleanly into a familiar category. It's not chasing regulatory approval, so it doesn't trade on FDA calendars. It's not a SaaS company, though its platform behaves like one. Instead, it sits between logistics, life sciences, and digital infrastructure - and that ambiguity often delays recognition. But that's also where value hides. iSpecimen runs an asset-light, transaction-based model. It doesn't need to build labs or develop its own trial pipeline. It monetizes what already exists by organizing and standardizing the connections between researchers and providers. That model is scalable across disease areas, institutions, and even global geographies. This Isn't a Bet. It's a Repricing in Progress The treasury may have been the headline, but it isn't the whole story. It's simply a structural advantage layered onto a business that is already performing. The marketplace, the revenue, the partnerships, and the platform all existed before the $200 million plan was announced. Thus, ISPC isn't a company hoping for validation. It's a company that already has it - just not from the market yet. At $1.11, the share price reflects none of that. But that doesn't mean the value isn't there. It just means the recognition hasn't arrived yet. When it does, the most temporary number in this entire story might be the one investors are staring at right now. *Reprinted with permission from Hawk Point Media Group, LLC.
