Nothing unveils Headphone A, an affordable over-ear option priced at about $199, designed as a budget-friendly alternative to Headphone 1 while still packing many premium features.

Headphone A retains the design cues and control layout of Headphone 1 but targets a lower price point, roughly $200 versus Headphone 1’s $300 tag.

Connectivity includes Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint pairing for two devices, and an IP52 water-resistance rating.

Adaptive active noise cancellation uses three microphones and may include spatial audio capabilities, with tuning options accessible through the Nothing X app.

Distinctive physical controls—Roller, Paddle, and Button—include a Camera Shutter remote trigger when the Button is used in Camera Shutter mode.

Nothing touts long battery life, up to 135 hours of playback with ANC off, plus rapid five-minute charging for several hours of listening.

Headphone A uses 40mm drivers with a titanium coating and a next-gen magnet and voice-coil system, supporting LDAC and AI-balanced ANC across environments.

The product ships with three ANC presets, IP52 rating, and a focus on comfort with breathable memory foam cushions, weighing about 310 grams.

Weighing 310g, Headphone A features breathable memory foam cushions and tactile controls built into the earcups for volume, track changes, and an action button.

Pre-orders are live, with retail sales starting mid-March; launch colors include white, black, pink, and a yellow variant arriving in April; price is set at $199 in the US.

In the box are a carry pouch, USB-C charging cable, and a 3.5mm audio cable, with the yellow color variant arriving later in April.

The Nothing X app offers eight-band EQ, Hi-Res/LDAC support, real-time bass enhancement, and the ability to share user presets via QR codes within the Nothing community.
