Last Updated: Nothing is launching new wireless headphones along with the Phone 3 flagship model in the market next month and here's everything we know about it. Nothing Phone 3 launch will happen in July and now the company has confirmed its plans to launch the first wireless headphone at the same event. Yes, Nothing Headphone 1 is launching next month and will be unveiled alongside the Phone 3 flagship model. Both these products will be part of a grand event in London on July 1, and we expect these devices to be made available in the Indian market around the same time. Recently, there were leaked details about the Phone 3 and Headphone 1 prices and now the official word from the company confirms those rumours about launching at the same event. Nothing Headphone 1 Launch In July: New Rival For Sony And Bose? Nothing Headphone 1 sounds like a weird name but goes in tandem with all the other products. Don't forget the Ear 1 TWS earbuds that introduced the brand in the market a few years back. And like the other products, we expect Nothing to adopt the popular transparent design with premium materials. The company even put out a teaser for the product that talks about the segment being premium but boring. And Nothing plans to liven up the market with its premium offering. Well, reports do suggest all these upgrades and the focus of the product could put the Headphone 1 in the market priced at $299 (Rs 25,000 approx) where you have the Sony WH-1000X series, Bose and more brands. It also talks about the headphones launching in white and black colours that are classic Nothing brand shades. First Published: June 06, 2025, 12:06 IST

Nothing confirms 'Headphone 1' debut with Phone 3 launch on July 1: Details
British consumer technology brand Nothing has announced that it will launch its first over-ear headphones, dubbed Headphone 1, on July 1—the same day as its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone 3. The announcement was made by Nothing CEO Carl Pei during an appearance at the SXSW London event on June 5, where he confirmed that the global launch will take place in London. Nothing Headphone 1: What to expect The Headphone 1 is expected to be the first audio product to emerge from Nothing's recent partnership with British audio specialist KEF. When announcing the collaboration last month, Nothing said the goal is to "explore new frontiers in sound innovation" and bring refined audio experiences to a wider audience. The company also released a behind-the-scenes video on its YouTube channel, showing the design team discussing key elements of the upcoming headphones. In the video, the team expressed dissatisfaction with current headphone designs, describing them as uninspired or inaccessible due to high pricing—singling out products like Apple's AirPods Max. Nothing says it aims to deliver a headphone that is aesthetically distinct and more affordable than high-end models like the AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000XM6, while still matching their audio quality. While pricing has not been officially confirmed, a report from 9To5Google suggests that the Nothing Headphone 1 will be priced at $299 in the United States. In comparison, Apple's AirPods Max retail for $600 (Rs 59,900) in India. Nothing Phone 3: What to expect The Headphone 1 will launch alongside Nothing Phone 3, the company's next flagship smartphone. During Google's Android Show: I/O Edition last month, Carl Pei offered a blurred preview of the device and referred to it as Nothing's first 'true flagship.' He hinted at a more premium build using materials like metal and glass. Pei also signalled a major price jump for the Phone 3, estimating a price of £800 (approximately Rs 90,000)—nearly double that of the Phone (2), which launched at Rs 44,999 in 2023. Recently, Nothing teased a dot-matrix-style animation in a short video, suggesting that the Phone 3 could feature a rear dot-matrix display. This follows an earlier post declaring, 'We killed the Glyph Interface,' hinting that the new smartphone may ditch the company's signature LED lighting system for a new kind of interactive rear panel.

Nothing Headphone 1 confirmed to launch on July 1 alongside Nothing Phone 3
Nothing headphones Concept (Credit: X/@CarlPei) Nothing Headphone 1 launching on July 1 Nothing has partnered with UK-based audio firm KEF Nothing Phone 3 also launching on same day London upstart Nothing has confirmed its first over-ear headphones will launch officially on July 1, the same day it is launching the Nothing Phone 3. They are simply called the Nothing Headphone 1 keeping with Nothing's tradition of using category and version number to denote its products. While the overall design is a mystery, they will be expected to carry some element of transparency, giving away some of the technology inside. Nothing started its journey with audio in 2021 with the Nothing Ear 1 wireless earphones, so Nothing headphones aren't all that surprising news, though one wonders why it took so long to get there. As is often the case, Nothing cites the lack of compelling options as the big reason why it is getting into the headphones market. In a video released recently on YouTube, company executives said how they didn't like any existing product in the market while simultaneously slamming brands making premium headphones for not innovating enough. Nothing in fact went on to mock Sony's new WH-1000XM6 headphones while claiming its headphones would seemingly be better than Apple's AirPods Max. Technical details of these upcoming headphones aren't out yet though it is all but certain that Nothing will be using some tech and tuning from its newly onboarded partner, UK-based audio firm KEF. With the partnership, Nothing intends to expand into new audio categories 'with several acoustically co-developed products already in the works and launching later this year.' There is a very high possibility that the Nothing Headphone 1 will be the first product to make use of this co-branding/engineering. Reports suggest, Nothing will price them aggressively, with grape-vine hinting at a potential price tag of USD $299 which roughly translates to Rs 25,600 which is essentially XM6 territory. Apart from the Nothing Headphone 1, Nothing is also set to launch the Nothing Phone 3 on July 1. The Phone 3 will be Nothing's first true flagship phone with several big upgrades in tow including – but not limited to – the switch from glyph lighting to a dot matrix design. The Nothing Phone 3 is confirmed to launch in India on July 1 and will be sold via e-commerce platform Flipkart. The Nothing Headphone 1 will launch on the same day, giving prospective buyers one more category to look at from the house of Nothing. Watch this space for more updates.

Nothing Phone 3 isn't the only launch coming on July 1; CEO Carl Pei confirms entry into new category
Nothing, over the last few months, has released several new products, including the Nothing Phone 3a series, as well as the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Now, on July 1, the company is all set to reveal the Nothing Phone 3, the company's true flagship. But it is not just the Nothing Phone 3 that is going to launch on July 1. Nothing's CEO, Carl Pei, at SXSW London on June 5, revealed that Nothing is going to be entering a new product line, and this is going to be headphones, called the Nothing Headphone 1. Nothing's CEO, Carl Pei, confirmed that Nothing Headphone 1 will indeed launch on July 1, the same date as the Nothing Phone 3 launch. This is notably going to be Nothing's first product in the over-ear audio category. 'Nothing Headphone (1) is coming very soon. Our first over-ear headphones are launching on July 1. A whole new product category for us as we continue to level up audio in 2025,' Carl Pei posted on X. However, it is certainly not going to be the brand's first audio product, as it has launched several truly wireless earbuds like the Nothing Ear Stick and Nothing Ear line, and more, including the CMF line, like the CMF Buds 2 Pro, and more. So far, the company has put out several teasers about the Nothing Phone. From the teasers, we do know that the phone will retain mostly the same design as its previous Nothing models, with industrial elements like exposed screws, etc. However, the company did reveal an interesting detail when it said that the company has killed the Glyph Interface. The company's CEO, Carl Pei, also replied to the same post on X, saying, 'RIP.' This is certainly an interesting move, but it is certainly not confirmed at the moment because Nothing seems to be teasing something. It could be possible that the company replaces the LED Glyph lighting interface with something else entirely, or perhaps it could be just wordplay, and we may get to see even more LEDs than before. Again, all should be confirmed on 1 July, when Nothing is going to launch the Nothing Phone 3 as well as the Headphone 1.

Nothing Headphone 1 to Launch Alongside Nothing Phone 3
July is going to be a big month for British tech company Nothing, which is not only launching its "first true flagship," the Nothing Phone 3, but will also unveil a new audio product, the Nothing Headphone 1. Headphone 1 is due to launch on July 1, said Nothing Founder and CEO Carl Pei speaking on stage at SXSW London on Thursday. "It's our first over-the-head headphones," he said. "A lot of our users have been asking for it." Audio is hardly a new category for Nothing. In fact the company's first foray into the hardware world was with the Nothing Ear 1, earbuds that captured out attention with their striking transparent design. The company's focus on design is "a necessity," said Pei as the company was late to market and needed a way to differentiate itself. "We call it technical warmth," he said, describing Nothing's design language. "At first glance, these parts look really mechanical, [but] once you dig a little bit deeper, there's a lot of fun elements." Pei also gave a hint into what we can expect for the company in the next five years. "The smartphone is the most important product today, but that doesn't mean it's going to be the most important product forever," he said. He's interested in seeing what new form factors tech companies are bringing to market, but would ideally like Nothing to be the company that finds the killer next tech product.
