Nothing Headphone (1) Pro

Nothing Builds a Three-Driver Headphone

The Headphone (1) Pro takes Nothing's transparent, deliberately unusual design into more serious hi-fi territory. Each earcup combines a 40mm bass driver, a separate precision midrange driver, and an xMEMS solid-state tweeter, producing a detailed, neutral presentation rather than the punchier tuning of the cheaper Headphone (a).

Wired Listening Gets the Best Seat

Bluetooth 6.1 and LDAC handle high-resolution wireless playback, while USB-C supports lossless audio up to 24-bit/192kHz and a 3.5mm jack keeps analog sources in play. Nothing's app exposes advanced EQ controls for the different drivers, giving listeners more precise tuning than a handful of broad presets.

Quieter, Comfier, and Heavier

Active noise cancellation and transparency mode are both strong, and revised dual-layer ear cushions, silent hinges, and gentler clamping improve comfort. The headphones weigh 327g, though the divisive carry case pushes the travel package to 710.5g. Five spatial-audio profiles support optional head tracking, but their effect is intentionally subtle.

Battery Depends on How You Listen

Battery life reaches up to 60 hours, with about 30 hours available when ANC is active and 28 hours when LDAC and ANC run together. At $399, Headphone (1) Pro is Nothing's most ambitious over-ear model, best suited to listeners who value its distinctive hardware, wired fidelity, and studio-minded balance over bargain value.
