Nothing has officially launched the Headphone (1) Pro in the United States at a price of USD 399. The new over-ear headphones went on sale on September 28, 2026, with availability starting September 29 via the company’s US website, Amazon, and Best Buy stores across North America.
Weighing 327 grams and offered in black and white, the Headphone (1) Pro stands out with a three-driver system in each earcup. The drivers include a 40mm dynamic driver, a 13x8mm precision driver, and an xMEMS treble driver. While three-driver headphones are not entirely new, Nothing’s aggressive pricing makes this model significantly more affordable than comparable offerings from other brands.
The headphones feature 46 dB active noise cancellation (ANC) and a physical Flat EQ switch that disables equalization and spatial audio effects, delivering a neutral sound profile. This switch is designed for audiophiles and purists who prefer minimal sound processing.
Nothing collaborated with Metropolis Studios on sound tuning. The Headphone (1) Pro supports Bluetooth 6.1 and lossless USB-C audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. Battery life is rated at 30 hours with ANC enabled and up to 68 hours without ANC. A customizable button allows users to launch ChatGPT, activate a voice assistant, or trigger the camera.
The USD 399 price point places the Headphone (1) Pro in a competitive segment. Buyers typically pay a premium for enhanced sound control rather than basic wireless features. Nothing’s challenge will be convincing consumers that the additional audio capabilities justify the cost.
