Nothing has just introduced the Nothing Headphone (a), a more affordable option to the company’s over-ear headphone. The Headphone (a) was introduced alongside the Nothing Phone (4a) series, the latest smartphones in the company’s successful a-series.
Nothing Headphone (a)
The Nothing Headphone (a) features a similar build and design to the Headphone (1). The difference lies, though with the earcup, with a more rounded and an opaque design.
The headphones are equipped with a 40mm titanium-coated diaphragm, which is said to deliver expressive highs and deep bass at up to 110dB. It has AI-boosted Dynamic Bass Enhancement to lock on to low frequencies and boost them in real time.
The Headphone (a) offers three levels of Active Noise Cancellation with a Transparency Mode. Additionally, it has Clear Voice Technology with three microphones.
The new headphone is also certified with Hi-Res Audio and uses LDAC wireless technology. Additionally, you can connect it via USB-C or a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The headphones are equipped with a 1060mAh battery, which is said to offer up to 135 hours of playback with ANC off on AAC or up to 90 hours with ANC off on LDAC. With ANC on, it offers up to 75 hours of playback on AAC and up to 62 hours of playback on LDAC.
One more thing that the Nothing Headphone (a) shares with the Headphone (1) is its physical controls with a roller, paddle, and button. All of these can be customized via the Nothing X, along with Advanced EQ control on the app.
The headphone has memory foam ear cups and a liquid-silicone headband. Moreover, it has flexible steel arms and Metal Injection Molding hinges.
