What it is advisable know
- Rumors in regards to the Nothing Headphone a floor once more, claiming the mannequin might truly have A-series pricing.
- The report states the headphones might price half the value of the Headphone 1, at round €159 (~$187).
- In Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei’s interview, he briefly talked about how well-received the Headphone 1 was, however mentioned nothing (no pun supposed) about this alleged mannequin.
Rumors say Nothing’s cooking up extra than simply funds telephones this yr, as its subsequent headphones may additionally make an look.
French publication Dealabs suggests Nothing’s subsequent pair, known as the “Headphone a,” might present up this yr (by way of 9to5Google). That is not what’s most essential right here, as rumors allege this subsequent pair might take the value level down a notch over Nothing’s Headphone 1. Supposedly, the Headphone a might rock a beginning value of €159 throughout Europe (~$187).
The publication notes that this supposed pricing is roughly half the value of the corporate’s Headphone 1. On paper, this is smart. Nothing’s A-series is often its “funds” line, however I suppose it isn’t as budget-y as its CMF model and its $79 Headphone Professional.
It is laborious to slim down what to anticipate feature-wise, contemplating the A-series tag and the decrease pricing. What these rumors develop on is the colorways. The Headphone a might hit the market with 4 choices: pink, white, black, and yellow. The report closes by stating Nothing might debut these new headphones early subsequent month, on March 5 (for pre-orders).
From 1 to a
The Headphone 1 arrived in July final yr with a $299 price ticket within the U.S. This was the corporate’s first steps into over-ear headphones with bodily buttons and rollers, and all of the traditional bells and whistles customers do not sometimes get anymore. The ear cups have been outfitted with a smooth, plush reminiscence foam for consolation, too. In testing, the Headphone 1 impressed Android Central’s Harish Jonnalagadda, as they rapidly turned a favourite for audio merchandise in 2025.
Nothing hasn’t formally teased these headphones simply but. The corporate’s CEO, Carl Pei, was concerned in a brief interview in a YouTube video about Nothing’s 2026 outlook. The Headphone 1 was introduced up, however principally as a result of its constructive reception in 2025. Primarily, discussions have been held about telephones, with Pei stating customers can anticipate a Telephone 4 collection this yr, however no new flagship.
Android Central’s Take
I feel what I am most trying ahead to is what these headphones might supply, extra so because the value is likely to be lower. What sound are we bringing to the desk this yr, you understand? I am not one for sporting over-ear headphones out and about, as one thing like that is sometimes reserved for PC gaming classes. Nonetheless, there is a marketplace for this form-factor, and it could be good (and perfect) for Nothing to maintain that very same vitality it had from the Headphone 1. These rumors alleged a possible March debut, which traces up with what we have heard in regards to the Telephone 4 collection. So, let’s simply wait and see.
