Nothing and its sub-brand CMF are doing some really interesting things with headphones right now, like CMF’s Headphone Pro. And the crown of most existing headphones belongs to the Nothing Headphone (1), whose design means you definitely won’t confuse them with another set of over-ear headphones.
Right now, these headphones are available at decent discounts: they’re down from $299 to $254 on Amazon US, and discounted even further on Amazon UK: there, the Nothing Headphones (1) are down from £299 to just £224. In both cases, this is a record price.
These are very smart headphones, with very effective noise cancellation, great comfort and solid build quality. They compete directly with the best noise-cancelling headphones, and with these discounts, they undercut many of the big names.
Plus, they make you look like one of Dr. Who’s Cybermen. The same can’t be said for a set from Sony.

Why there is nothing like the Nothing headset (1)
The Nothing Headphone (1) is unlike any other headset: there’s a distinct echo of the Sony Walkman OG in their design. But as we said in our Nothing Headphone review (1), while they may look retro, there’s nothing old-fashioned about their features. They also include changeable ANC, useful audio customization, USB-C lossless audio, and spatial audio.
This is not about favoring style over substance, nor about favoring design over comfort. We found the helmet (1) extremely comfortable and very well made.
In terms of specs, you’re looking at 40mm dynamic drivers, 20Hz to 40kHz frequency response, Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC, and IP52 water and dust resistance.
Call us Nostradamus, but as we said in our review: “If (well, When) they are getting a price drop, these could be great headphones.” If you’ll pardon the grammar: it’s when, it’s now.
