There are more Nothing headphones on the way, and this leak says that they will be more budget-focused, and I hope they copy a particular trait from other budget headphones.

• Nothing confirms that “it will ‘double down’ in the over-ear headphones category during 2026”
• Leaks say a budget model is coming and could launch on March 12 for £149/€159 (about $200/AU$300)
• I hope they imitate the traditional bland design of budget headphones

If you love dressing up as classic sci-fi characters from the 60s, you probably know the Nothing Headphone (1), whose first ears from the British brand look like the headdress of a Cyberman costume.

We know Nothing has more headphones on the way, because the company itself confirmed it, saying, “Nothing will ‘double down’ on the over-ear headphones category during 2026.” And new leaks suggest that specifically a cheaper version is on the way, and based on my experience with Nothing’s affordable headphones, it wouldn’t take much to make them some of the best budget headphones.
