Nothing Unveils Budget-Friendly Headphone (a) with Stunning 135-Hour Playback and Trendy Design
Simultaneously with the sub-flagship smartphone Phone (4a) Pro and the budget Phone (4a), Nothing also introduced the first in its line of budget full-size wireless headphones.
As insiders reported, the novelty is called Nothing Headphone (a) and comes in bright color options that have not been used before in the line. In fact, it is a more budget-friendly counterpart to the Nothing introduced Headphone (1) - the brand's first full-size headphones with an unusual design and impressive battery life, which were released in the summer of 2025.
What is known
Nothing Headphone (a) retains its recognizable design and is available in four colors: black, white, yellow, and pink. The headphones are equipped with 40 mm dynamic drivers with titanium coating, providing clean and rich sound. Support for Hi‑Res Audio Wireless, LDAC codec, active noise cancelation, and transparency mode makes the model versatile in any setting. For quick connection, you can use Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair protocols.
One of the key advantages is autonomy: Nothing claims up to 135 hours of listening without ANC and up to 75 hours with active noise cancellation. In talk mode, the headphones can operate for up to 72 hours, which is one of the best indicators in the segment. Fast charging is also impressive — just five minutes of cable connection provides up to five hours of sound playback.
The control is implemented through a proprietary trio of elements: the Roller wheel for volume adjustment, the Paddle switch for changing modes, and the Button for managing playback and calls. The ear pads are made of memory foam, and the headband is made of soft silicone, providing comfort for long-term use. The device weighs 310 grams. The headphones have IP52 protection, making them resistant to dust and sweat.
Pre-orders for Nothing Headphone (a) are already open, and the cost of the headphones is €159.
