First-over-the-ear headphones set to debut in July by Nothing
Headphone 1: Nothing's Rebellious Leap into Over-Ear Audio
Get ready to shake up your audio game this summer! Nothing, the groundbreaking tech company, is about to drop its first-ever over-ear headphones, dubbed "Headphone 1." In a daring move, this accessory is set to launch alongside the upcoming flagship Phone 3 on July 1.
Carl Pei, the man behind Nothing, made the announcement at the SXSW in London, hinting at the upcoming release. This marks a significant shift for Nothing, which has focused exclusively on earbuds since its inception. But Pei's not deterred, stating, "We're breaking the rules and leveling up audio in 2025."
Although specifics about the headphones remain under wraps, last month, Nothing's design team shared a glimpse of their vision. The team revealed they aim for a style that screams individuality, eschewing the conventional, boring designs of most over-ear headphones. In addition, they're working on "feel-by-touch" controls, promising a seamless, intuitive user experience.
Pei further teased the collaboration with one of the UK's most iconic audio brands, KEF. The collaboration is expected to bring sound innovation and refined audio experiences to a broader audience. In a subtle hint toward the future, the KEF release also suggested that Nothing's audio products launching later this year will usher in an "exciting new chapter for the future of Nothing Audio."
