Nothing’s over-ear headphones are all about the buttons

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-08-19 21:30:00

Nothing has launched its first pair of over-ear headphones, imaginatively named the Headphone 1. At $299, these are priced to compete with flagship fare, distinguished primarily by their distinctive Nothing design language — right down to the buttons. While the boxy outline calls to mind Apple’s AirPods Max, the semi-transparent detailing on the outside of each earcup is all Nothing. So are the buttons, all differently shaped, with some you press, some you flick, and some you toggle. They’re me

But until now, that design has mostly been in your pocket or peeking out of your ears. With the $299 Nothing Headphone 1, you have to commit to having that aesthet

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Pixel phones have an excellent reputation for smart software, but battery life has been a common complaint with Google's smartphones. Thankfully, that same smart software is now improving battery life and longevity, though many features aren't set up for maximum endurance out of the box.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority OnePlus 13 OnePlus has seen better days in the US, but it’s still one of the best alternative brands in the market. Between the cutting-edge hardware and competitive pricing, these Android phones are great rivals to Samsung and Google’s devices.

Nothing's First Stab at Over-Ear Headphones Leaks. They Look Appropriately Odd

Nothing's first pair of over-ear headphones has apparently leaked, and it's nearly impossible to assume they could have been designed by any other company. The over-ear headphones look to have more personality than most popular options on the market, and, well, that's very on-brand for Nothing. The company is good at making statement pieces, and has done so with its phones since the beginning. Whether you like the retro-futuristic styling of its products or not is largely a personal preference,

CNET's key takeaways The Galaxy A36 is one of Samsung's three midrange phones and costs $400. The phone packs a generous 5,000-mAh battery, as well as 45-watt fast charging.
