The headphones are equipped with a custom 40mm dynamic driver and tuned in partnership with KEF. This is coupled with a nickel-plated diaphragm and a uniform dome texture. Nothing has also introduced a Spatial Audio and Head tracking to improve the audio depending on the user.

The Roller is used to click to play or pause music and cycle between ANC and Transparency Mode. The Paddle, on the other hand, is used to skip forward, scrub through tracks, and eliminate lag. Lastly, the Button is a single-action shortcut via the Nothing X app. It includes actions like Channel Hop to cycle through your favorite audio apps or launch your device’s voice assistant.
