Debut headphones with over-ear design set for unveiling next month
Here Comes a New Pair of Headphones from Nothing
Get ready, audiophiles! Young British brand Nothing is about to make a splash in the headphone market. On July 1st, they'll be releasing their first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (1).
The announcement was made during the SXSW London showcase, whereNothing CEO Carl Pei spilled the beans. These headphones will join the Nothing Phone (3), which will also be unveiled on the same day.
Nothing is known for its competitively priced smartphones, like the popular Nothing Phone (1), and various wireless earbuds, such as the Nothing Ear (2) and the Nothing Ear (a). So, we can safely assume these headphones will be a wallet-friendly addition to their product line.
But are we looking at another set of wireless headphones with transparent designs, as seen in their earbuds? Only time will tell.
The Nothing Headphone (1) will likely be designed to work within the Nothing ecosystem. This means they might lock out certain features if paired with devices outside of the brand's lineup, similar to some of the "Ear" series of wireless earbuds. However, pricing, features, and design specifics are all under wraps until the official launch.
Despite some criticisms about the sound quality of the Nothing Ear (2), the brand stands out for offering innovative transparent designs at competitive prices. So, it's safe to say we're intrigued!
Keep your eyes peeled for the main launch in July. We'll be there, ready to bring you all the details and, if we're lucky, a hands-on sneak peek!
