Malaysia – March 5, 2026 – Nothing today announced Headphone (a), a playful and
powerful addition to its over-ear audio lineup. Available in Pink, Yellow, White, and Black,
Headphone (a) pairs Nothing’s signature design with a bold new aesthetic and a
remarkable five days of continuous listening on a single charge. Built for fashion and
music lovers alike, Headphone (a) delivers a distinctive, tactile experience proving that
high resolution audio is the perfect extension of personal style.
Evolved Design Meets New Aesthetic
Headphone (a) evolves Nothing’s signature design while introducing a new, expressive
colour palette. Featuring new pink and yellow colourways, the design feels both playful
and accessible. The lightweight 310g body and breathable memory foam cushions
ensure an all-day comfort for every user. Headphone (a) has an IP52 rating, giving you
certified everyday protection against dust and dirt, as well as water-resistant
protection of internal components meaning sweaty work outs and bad weather are no
issue.
Best-in-Class Endurance
Headphone (a) redefines what is possible for battery life, delivering up to 5 days (135
hours) of listening time with ANC off on a single charge, outlasting the market leader by
half. It is built for the marathon of daily life. That’s 7 trips from London to New York and
back, with some power left. When time is short, a quick 5-minute rapid charge provides
a full 5 hours of playback, ensuring your soundtrack never has to stop.
Bespoke Nothing Controls
Headphone (a) is built for a natural and intuitive experience with the same tactile
features introduced on Headphone (1). Integrated directly into the ear cups, the Roller,
Paddle, and Button provide a precise and effortless way to adjust volume, navigate
media, and switch ANC modes without the friction often associated with touch
interfaces.
Now with Channel Hop you can skip through your favourite apps and functions
instantly without ever reaching for your phone, simply by pressing The Button. The new
Camera Shutter mode transforms the Button into a remote trigger, allowing you to
capture hands-free photos or start videos on your paired smartphone with a single
press.
High-Resolution Sound Meets Adaptive Intelligence
Headphone (a) is engineered for clarity, powered by certified Hi-Resolution Audio
Wireless and LDAC codec, it preserves the finest details of every track with
high-resolution precision. The 40mm titanium-coated driver provides a strong and
durable structure, delivering powerful, distortion-free sound exactly as the artist
intended.
To ensure an uninterrupted listening experience, Headphone (a) features Adaptive
Active Noise Cancellation that comes with 3 presets (low, mid, high) that reduce noise
around you. In Transparency Mode, you can choose to let some ambient sound in,
keeping you connected to your surroundings while the hybrid ANC mode is made
possible by dual feedforward and feedback mics, which work with AI technology to
adapt noise cancellation in real-time based on the surroundings and the fit of your
headphones. This intelligence extends to every call using a sophisticated 3-mic AI
algorithm, trained on over 28 million noise scenarios, which isolates your voice for
crystal-clear communication, even in the busiest environments.
Personalised EQ on the Nothing X App
The listening experience is yours to define. Through the Nothing X app, you can access
a professional 8-band Advanced EQ to fine-tune your sound profile with complete
precision. Beyond simple adjustments, you can create and share custom profiles with
the Nothing Community. For added depth, a real-time Bass Enhancement algorithm
analyses low frequencies to deliver a powerful, punchy response without compromising
the clarity of the mid and high tones.
Pricing and Availability
Headphones (a) will be available in black, white, pink, and yellow. In Malaysia, pricing and
availability will be announced on 1st April 2026.
