Just days after leaks revealed most of the details, Nothing officially launched the Headphone (1) Pro. The company calls it the most advanced pair of ANC headphones it has ever built, and looking through the spec sheet, that claim holds up.
You get three separate drivers, a titanium and aluminum build, and enough battery to survive a long-haul flight with ANC running and still have charge left over.
Headphone (1) Pro With A Better Sound
The headline upgrade here is a new triple-driver setup, with each driver handling its own slice of the sound. A 40mm driver takes care of bass, a second driver focuses on vocals and instruments, and a tiny xMEMS tweeter handles the high notes. Together, that should mean punchier bass and cleaner detail throughout.
The headphones also carry Hi-Res Audio certification, whether you’re listening over Bluetooth or a wired connection. You can stream via LDAC, plug in through USB-C for lossless audio, or use the 3.5mm jack, which comes in handy for those small in-flight entertainment screens.

Nothing also partnered with Metropolis Studios to tune a new Flat EQ mode, along with a spatial audio mode modeled on the studio’s well-known Studio B. If you like getting hands-on with settings, the Nothing X app now lets you adjust each driver individually.
Nothing Headphone (1) Pro Comfortable
Nothing made several changes here aimed purely at comfort. The headband grew wider, padding got thicker, and the foam is now 50% softer than what you would find on the original Headphone (1). Each earcup can also tilt up to 20 degrees, and the whole thing weighs just 327g.

Noise cancellation improved too. A new 10-microphone system boosts ANC performance by 5dB and blocks 40% more noise compared to the original Headphone (1), making this Nothing’s best noise cancellation yet.
Battery life is genuinely impressive here. You get up to 30 hours with ANC running, or up to 68 hours with it switched off. Forget to charge overnight? Just 5 minutes on the charger buys you 2 hours of listening with ANC on. An IP52 rating also means a gym session or a bit of rain won’t cause any problems.
Nothing Headphone (1) Pro Price
The Headphone (1) Pro is available now in black or white, priced at $399, £349, or €349. You can order directly through Nothing’s website or find it at select retailers.
