If you passed on Nothing's unique over-ear headphones when they dipped in price last month, you have another chance, and this time, the deal is even better. The distinctive Nothing Headphone (a) and Nothing (1) headphone have both dropped to their lowest price yet on Amazon for Prime Day. The Nothing Headphone (a) is down 24% to $151.05 (originally $199), and the Nothing (1) headphone is down 29%, dropping to $213.75 (originally $299).
While most headlines focus on the brand’s transparent retro-futuristic design, there's more going on here than aesthetics with these headphones. The Headphone (a), the brand’s more affordable model, has ANC up to 40 dB, a 40mm titanium-coated diaphragm, support for high-resolution LDAC audio, spatial audio with head-tracking, and the increasingly rare option to listen via Bluetooth, USB-C, or a traditional 3.5mm cable. The more premium Headphone (1) has 40mm dynamic drivers and adaptive ANC.
Comfort gets mixed reviews; some reviewers found the earcups on the Nothing (a) a bit shallow for larger ears compared to the more luxuriously padded Headphone (1). Reviewers have also praised the physical controls, which use tactile buttons rather than finicky touch panels, as well as a volume roller and a paddle switch for track controls. The headphones support multipoint connectivity, adaptive ANC, transparency mode, and an IP52 rating to protect against dust and light rain.
Battery life is another standout; the headphones last up to 135 hours with ANC disabled and 80 hours with ANC on, which is impressive compared to many premium competitors. Surprisingly, despite being widely hailed as the more premium model, the pricier Nothing (1) has significantly reduced battery life, with up to 80 hours with ANC off, and 35 hours with ANC on. On the Nothing (a), a quick five-minute charge provides up to eight hours of listening time, while a full charge takes two hours. The Headphone (1) delivers up to five hours of playback from a five-minute top-up.
The Nothing (1) also adds an advanced 8-band EQ and six mics for calls, compared to the Nothing (a)’s adjustable EQ via the Nothing X app and five mics. Ultimately, the Nothing (1) headphones deliver a more refined listening experience and a more premium, comfortable build, while the Nothing (a) headphones give you exceptional battery life at a much lower price. At the current record-low discount, they’re both appealing options for anyone who wants premium features and an eye-catching design at a lower price.
