London-based tech brand Nothing is making noise once again with its most advanced audio gear yet: Headphone (1) Pro. Designed to bridge the gap between everyday casual listening and professional studio work, these flagship over-ear headphones pack serious hardware under Nothing’s signature transparent design language. This is the best set of headphones Nothing has produced, and it shows in the spec sheet.
Studio Sound with Upscale Nothing Design
At the heart of Headphone (1) Pro is an innovative triple-driver architecture. Rather than relying on a single driver, Nothing combines a 40mm bass dynamic driver, a precision dynamic driver, and a treble xMEMS driver to deliver crisp highs, textured vocals, and deep bass across an ultra-wide 20Hz–40kHz frequency spectrum.
To deliver true studio-grade sound, Nothing partnered with London’s world-renowned Metropolis Studios to engineer a dedicated physical Flat EQ Switch for neutral sound monitoring, a “Studio B” Dynamic Spatial Audio mode, and five custom British-music EQ profiles.
For tuning out background noise, Nothing introduced real-time Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation that filters up to 46 dB using a 10-mic array and redesigned ear cushions with an internal 8mm silicone baffle wall. Despite combining premium titanium, aluminum, and shatter-resistant 9H Panda glass, the headphones weigh in at a lightweight 327 grams with a wider padded headband and up to 68 hours of battery life with ANC off.
On the hardware and software features front, Headphone (1) Pro supports Hi-Res wireless listening as well as lossless wired playback via USB-C up to 24-bit/192kHz. Listeners can immerse themselves with five modes of Dynamic Spatial Audio featuring head tracking, while an IP52 dust and water resistance rating and fast charging keep the music playing wherever you go.
For those who love tweaking their sound stage, the Nothing X app unlocks granular customization, allowing users to drag tuning points across frequencies, control the Main and Precision drivers individually via Advanced EQ, or set up Personal Sound profiles.
K Pop Legend Partners At Launch
To launch the new flagship, Nothing announced V of BTS (Kim Taehyung) as its new Global Brand Ambassador. Shot in Seoul by photographer Dorothea Sing Zhang, the accompanying campaign spotlights creative experimentation and sonic versatility, joining Nothing’s cultural roster alongside Charli xcx and the Club Nothing initiative.
Commenting on the partnership, V expressed excitement for this bold chapter, while Nothing CEO Carl Pei praised V’s instinct for fearless experimentation as the exact inspiration behind Headphone (1) Pro’s flexible design.
Available in sleek Black and White finishes, Nothing Headphone (1) Pro is priced at $399. Official sales begin on September 29, 2026, and are available directly at nothing.tech, on Amazon, or nationwide at Best Buy stores across North America. Presently, it looks like only the nothing store and Amazon have the links up for purchase, but we’ll update the post as other links go live.
