Nothing Headphone (1)

Designed to turn heads

A minimal, distinctive design crafted to stand out and built to last. Every detail of Headphone (1), from the choice of materials to the integration of tactile controls, was thoughtfully considered to create a striking aesthetic that reflects our transparent, bold identity.

Strength in every detail

Formed aluminium strengthens key structural parts without adding unnecessary weight, while precision-moulded plastics bring flexibility and balance. A transparent casing wraps each earcup, revealing the engineering within. At the core, a nickel-plated diaphragm reinforces the driver for improved durability and clarity, keeping sound consistent across every track.

Balanced comfort

Headphone (1) is designed with a focus on ergonomic fit and softness. The PU ear cushions provide a gentle touch that resists oils and makeup, while the optimised ear cup depth ensures a secure, balanced fit⁸. This design minimises pressure and maximises comfort for all head shapes.
