Nothing today announced Headphone (a), a playful and powerful addition to its over-ear audio lineup. Available in Pink, Yellow, White, and Black, Headphone (a) pairs Nothing’s signature design with a bold new aesthetic and a remarkable five days of continuous listening on a single charge. Built for fashion and music lovers alike, Headphone (a) delivers a distinctive, tactile experience, proving that high-resolution audio is the perfect extension of personal style.
Evolved Design Meets New Aesthetic
Headphone (a) evolves Nothing’s signature design while introducing a new, expressive colour palette. Featuring new pink and yellow colourways, the design feels both playful and accessible. The lightweight 310g body and breathable memory foam cushions ensure all-day comfort for every user. Headphone (a) has an IP52 rating, giving certified everyday protection against dust and dirt, as well as water-resistant protection of internal components, meaning sweaty workouts and bad weather are no issue.
Best-In-Class Endurance
Headphone (a) redefines what is possible for battery life, delivering up to 5 days (135 hours) of listening time with ANC off on a single charge, outlasting the market leader by half. It is built for the marathon of daily life. That’s seven trips from London to New York and back, with some power left. When time is short, a quick five-minute rapid charge provides a full five hours of playback, ensuring your soundtrack never has to stop.
Bespoke Nothing Controls
Headphone (a) is built for a natural and intuitive experience with the same tactile features introduced on Headphone (1). Integrated directly into the ear cups, the Roller, Paddle, and Button provide a precise and effortless way to adjust volume, navigate media, and switch ANC modes without the friction often associated with touch interfaces.
Now with Channel Hop, you can skip through your favourite apps and functions instantly without ever reaching for your phone, simply by pressing the Button. The new Camera Shutter mode transforms the Button into a remote trigger, allowing you to capture hands-free photos or start videos on your paired smartphone with a single press.
High-Resolution Sound Meets Adaptive Intelligence
Headphone (a) is engineered for clarity, powered by certified Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless and LDAC codec, preserving the finest details of every track with high-resolution precision. The 40mm titanium-coated driver provides a strong and durable structure, delivering powerful, distortion-free sound exactly as the artist intended.
To ensure an uninterrupted listening experience, Headphone (a) features Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation with three presets (low, mid, high) that reduce noise around you. In Transparency Mode, users can allow ambient sound in, staying connected to their surroundings. The hybrid ANC mode is enabled by dual feedforward and feedback microphones, working with AI technology to adapt noise cancellation in real time based on surroundings and fit.
This intelligence extends to every call using a sophisticated three-mic AI algorithm, trained on over 28 million noise scenarios, isolating your voice for clear communication even in busy environments.
Personalised EQ On The Nothing X App
The listening experience is customisable. Through the Nothing X app, users can access a professional eight-band Advanced EQ to fine-tune their sound profile with precision. Custom profiles can also be created and shared with the Nothing Community.
For added depth, a real-time Bass Enhancement algorithm analyses low frequencies to deliver a powerful, punchy response without compromising clarity across mid and high tones.
Pricing And Availability
Headphone (a) will be available in Black, White, and Pink at RM699.
