Nothing Headphone 1: Expected design
According to a report by 9To5Google, images of the upcoming Nothing Headphone 1 have surfaced online, suggesting that the headphones will feature the brand's signature transparent aesthetic. The ear cups appear squarish with rounded corners—somewhat reminiscent of the Apple AirPods Max—while a circular transparent panel on top gives it the distinctive Nothing design.
The headband seems to include top cushioning for comfort and a hinged design that allows the cups to fold flat. According to the report, the right ear cup houses two physical control buttons, while the left one bears 'Sound by KEF' branding, confirming Nothing's previously announced partnership with British audio company KEF.
The alleged Nothing Headphone 1 design has sparked mixed reactions online—including from competing brands. On Reddit, the official account of the German audio brand Sennheiser commented on the design, stating:
'The only way we'd make a design like that is if we were bought out again and had the best salespeople. Even then..'
In response, Nothing CEO Carl Pei took to X to fire back with a tongue-in-cheek reply: 'Says the company whose headphones look like PC cooling fans. I know because I've used my HD 650 for 10 years.'

Elon Musk's emoji reaction on OpenAI removing Jony Ive's startup name amid trademark dispute
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reacted to the legal drama surrounding OpenAI. The world richest man reacted with a skeptical "🤨" emoji on social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to a post that mentioned the development. This comes after OpenAI removed all references to "io," the hardware startup co-founded by Jony Ive , from its website and social media. This move follows a trademark dispute with "iyO," an existing smart earbud company. The Sam Altman-led AI startup that announced a $6.5 billion deal to acquire Ive's startup said that the removal was due to a "court order" but disagreed with the complaint. Musk's emoji reaction came on X (formerly Twitter) to a post detailing the lawsuit, which alleged that OpenAI had previously heard iyO's pitch before proceeding to allegedly copy the concept with Jony Ive and then acquire his company, naming it "io." In the post, the user wrote: "Google X spin out IYO, which makes smart ear buds from 2018, alleges Sam Altman / OpenAI heard their pitch, passed, got Jony Ive to try it before copying it, buying his co for $6.5B and calling it IO." The "🤨" emoji shared by Musk is commonly used to express skepticism, disbelief, or suspicion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's A List Of Cheapest Steel Suppliers (See The List) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo All references of Jony Ive's startup removed from OpenAI's online properties After the removal, both the original blog post and a nine-minute video featuring Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are no longer accessible online.

OpenAI has not provided further updates on the trademark dispute or when the content may return, but confirmed to The Verge that the deal is still moving forward.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 4: Aamir Khan Film Beats Laal Singh Chaddha, Earns Rs 66 Cr
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par crosses Rs 66 crore in four days, surpassing Laal Singh Chaddha's India total. Aamir Khan's latest release Sitaare Zameen Par is shining bright at the box office. After its theatrical release last Friday, the film has managed to cross the Rs 66 crore mark in just four days, surpassing the India haul of Aamir's previous film Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.36 crore). The sports drama, which features Aamir as a basketball coach guiding a team of children with special needs, saw a strong weekend driven by positive word-of-mouth and heartfelt storytelling. On Sunday alone, it collected Rs 27.25 crore. However, as per Sacnilk, the film witnessed a drop on Monday, earning only Rs 8.27 crore. Despite the dip, the total India earnings now stand at Rs 66.42 crore. Directed by RS Prasanna and written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, Sitaare Zameen Par features a fresh ensemble cast including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Genelia D'Souza plays Aamir's wife in the film. Aamir's decision to skip an OTT release and focus on bringing audiences back to theatres appears to be working. The film's touching narrative and powerful music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, have further elevated its appeal. Internationally, the film has already collected Rs 95.75 crore within its opening weekend and is poised to cross Rs 100 crore worldwide. It marks a strong comeback for Aamir Khan after the lukewarm response to Laal Singh Chaddha. The industry too has rallied behind Sitaare Zameen Par. Veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar posted on X (formerly Twitter), 'So happy to learn about the record leap that Sitaare Zameen Par has taken at the box office on the second day. Who says good films have no takers in the audience. Congratulations to Aamir Khan and his team." Actors like Ritesh Deshmukh and Mahesh Babu also praised the film for its emotional impact. Co-produced by Aamir Khan, Aparna Purohit, and Ravi Bhagchandka, the film reiterates that powerful stories with heart continue to resonate deeply with Indian audiences.
