Nothing's next product isn't another smartphone – and it's coming sooner than you think
See-through gadget specialist Nothing announced that it's about to release a brand new product that isn't a smartphone – over-ear headphones. While the brand already offers multiple wireless earbud options, this would be the brands first attempt at larger cans. The headphones, dubbed Headphone (1) are landing sooner than you'd expect. 1 July, to be precise. That's the same day the much-anticipated Phone (3) is meant to arrive. The launch will happen in London, of course, where the fledgling brand is based. The event will also be live-streamed from 6pm BST/1pm ET, so you can watch along from home. Announced on stage by Carl Pei at SXSW London, Nothing's Headphones (1) were officially confirmed. But that's about all we got. No features, no specs, no pictures of the cans – just a name and a date. As for pricing, we'd expect somewhere in the mid-range mark, since Nothing has departed from going super-budget. If I had to guess, I'd say they'll be around the $199-$249 mark, since the Ear (2) buds launched for $149. We scored the Nothing Ear (2) four stars out of five in our review. We noted that they 'deliver the sound quality and noise cancelling we expect for the cash – after some tweaking – while improving on the original in all the right places.' And the more recent, budget-friendly Ear (a) buds scored a full five stars for their 'colourful, cut-price take on Nothing's usual formula that goes one better in a few key areas.' Given this track record, I expect good things from the upcoming over-ears. Fortunately, there's not long to wait. And we'll bring you the latest news about Nothing's headphones when they launch on 1 July.

Nothing's first pair of real headphones are coming soon — here's what we know so far
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). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 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 and Headphone 1 colour options and pricing tipped online
Nothing is preparing to enter the flagship smartphone and premium audio markets with the upcoming release of the Nothing Phone (3) and its first over-ear headphones, the Headphone (1). New leaks have revealed key details about the colours and pricing of both products, signalling the company's move toward higher-end offerings. The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to launch in July 2025. The company aims to position this model above its previous mid-range offerings. According to a leak by @MysteryLupin on X, the Phone 3 will come in black and white options. Pricing will start at $799 (roughly Rs. 68,259) for the version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. A higher-end model with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage will cost $899 (roughly Rs. 76,802). Also read: Nothing Phone 3 tipped to launch on July 25: Here's what to expect from the upcoming device These figures closely match earlier hints from Nothing's CEO Carl Pei, who mentioned a price near 800 euros. The availability of US dollar pricing suggests the phone will officially launch in the United States. One notable change might be the removal of the Glyph interface, a rear LED notification system, in favour of a customisable dot-matrix display, though this detail is yet to be confirmed.

Alongside the Phone 3, Nothing plans to release its first over-ear headphones, named Headphone 1, around September 30, 2025. These headphones will also be offered in black and white and priced at $299 (roughly Rs. 25,543). The company intends to compete with popular premium models such as Sony's WH-1000XM6 but at a lower price point. While full specifications remain undisclosed, Nothing's history with audio devices, like the Ear 2, points to the inclusion of features like active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency modes.

Camera improvements and AI-driven software enhancements aim to boost photography and video capabilities. Nothing's recent post on X stated, 'We killed the Glyph Interface,' fueling speculation about design changes in the new model. The device should run Nothing OS 3.0, based on Android 15, with promises of a cleaner interface and improved battery management. The screen is said to be a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the battery capacity could reach 5,000mAh.
