Specifications

The Nothing Headphone (a) delivers premium over-ear audio performance with a focus on long battery life, adaptive noise cancellation, and thoughtful design — all at a more accessible price point than flagship models. Featuring Nothing’s signature industrial aesthetic and engineered for everyday listening, these headphones blend style, comfort, and powerful audio technology.

Built with 40 mm dynamic drivers and certified for Hi-Res Audio, the Headphone (a) supports LDAC wireless audio streaming for high-quality playback from compatible devices. Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation helps reduce ambient noise so you can stay focused on your music, podcasts, and calls, while Ambient Sound mode lets more of your surroundings in when you need awareness.

One of the standout features is the marathon-class battery life. With ANC turned off, these headphones can deliver up to 135 hours of playback on a full charge — among the longest in the category — and fast charging gives you hours of listening from just minutes of power. Whether you’re on long flights, daily commutes, or extended listening sessions at home, the Headphone (a) keeps you powered.

Nothing continues its tactile control philosophy on the Headphone (a) with physical Roller, Paddle, and Button controls built into the earcups, making it easy to adjust volume, change tracks, or switch ANC modes without relying solely on touch gestures. These controls can also be customized via the Nothing X app on supported devices.

Designed for comfort and everyday use, the Headphone (a) features ergonomic memory foam ear cushions, a lightweight build, and an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance — suitable for daily commutes, workouts, and light outdoor use. Dual-device Bluetooth connectivity and low-latency Game Mode further enhance usability across phones, tablets, and laptops.
