Headphone (1) will be launched in India at the same time as global — Akis Evangelidis (@AkisEvangelidis) June 20, 2025 For the uninitiated, the Nothing Headphone 1 will debut at the company's upcoming 'Come to Play' event, which will also mark the launch of its next flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone 3. Nothing 'Come to Play' event: Details Date: July 1 Time: 10:30 pm (IST) Venue: London, UK Product announcements: Nothing Phone 3, Headphone 1 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.' Says the company whose headphones look like PC cooling fans I know because I've used my HD 650 for 10 years ???? — Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 21, 2025

Nothing Phone 3 to be made in India, company revels ahead of July 1 launch
British consumer technology brand Nothing has announced that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone 3, will be manufactured locally in India. In a press note, the company confirmed that production will take place at its manufacturing facility in Chennai. Nothing also revealed plans to strengthen its post-sales support network across India. The Phone 3 will be launched at the company's 'Come to Play' event on July 1. Alongside the smartphone, Nothing is also set to unveil its first pair of over-ear headphones, dubbed the Nothing Headphone 1. Nothing 'Come to Play' event: Details Date: July 1 Time: 10:30 pm (IST) Venue: London, UK Product announcements: Nothing Phone 3, Headphone 1 Nothing Phone 3: What to expect At last month's Android Show: I/O Edition, Nothing CEO Carl Pei offered a brief glimpse of the Phone 3, describing it as the company's first 'true flagship.' He suggested that the device will feature a more premium design, likely incorporating materials such as metal and glass. Since then, leaked images of the Phone 3 have surfaced online, revealing a triple-camera set-up on the back that resembles the arrangement seen on the Phone 3a Pro. The images also suggest that the brand will retain its trademark transparent rear panel. However, the signature Glyph lighting system appears to be absent—aligning with Nothing's earlier statement that it has 'killed the Glyph Interface.' Instead, Nothing is expected to introduce a dot-matrix display on the back of the phone, similar to what ASUS offers on its ROG phones. This display could potentially support custom animations and basic interactions. In terms of specifications, the Phone 3 is likely to feature a 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. It may be powered by either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. The camera set-up is expected to include a 50MP main sensor in a triple-camera configuration, along with a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. Powering the device will likely be a 5,000mAh battery, with support for 50W wired and 20W wireless charging.
