Nothing is officially doing its own wireless Bluetooth headphones on the ear. The company confirmed the news in a video of almost four minutes where the London -based design team discussed its objectives for the audio team still without a name.
The news continues to the announcement of Nothing this week that it will be associated with the British institution of Hi-Fi Kef in new audio products, although this company was not mentioned in the video.
While the details were scarce, we learned about a handful of key elements that can distinguish the nothing over-to-to-go headphones apart from competitors such as Apple and Sony.
In fact, the video begins with the designers who reflect on what “XM6” means, possibly referring to the trio of characters in the name quite difficult to handle the new and, for the moment, leaders leaders in the industry, the Sony Wh-000xm6.
However, above all, the team focuses on the elections they are taking for the first headphones of the ear.
Price
The price is a great consideration. Calling the $ 549 Airpods Max de Apple, which costs almost two latest generation phones, the team said it wants to produce cheaper headphones, which cost much less than Airpods Max.
As for how much less, well, a designer mentioned the price, but at that time, his voice was silenced and his mouth was covered with a small message that said nothing has to keep some secrets.
Of course, nothing is shaped in this area. We grant its budget headphones the Nothing EAR (a) a five -star review and we consider them among the best headphones you can buy, and cost only $ 99 / £ 99 / au $ 169.
Meanwhile, Nothing Ear headphones, now in their third generation, are a bit more expensive, but still proclaimed that they were “hitting their price class well.”
Ease of use
The designers complain that with most headphones, all buttons feel the same, and it is impossible to know if they are touching the volume, pause or Bluetooth controls. It seems that nothing will do it differently, designing all the buttons to be “completely different.”
The hope is that there is “no doubt what control you are about to play, [so] Do not make mistakes and we get out of the path of that experience of musical listening. “
Attend
Do it special
The designers of anything say that they can do things with headphones that large companies cannot, because large technological companies “simply cannot take risks; they must think about this global program … and millions and millions of users.”
Nothing, on the contrary, argues that you can take an idea, build it, try it and “put it out there.” To be fair, this is how it seems without any unusual and iconic smartphones.
Do the best audio
Nothing already has a significant experience and a fairly good history in the audio space. Its wireless headphones are currently near the top of our best 2025 wireless headphones.
As for how good these headphones sound on the ear at this time, one of the two years said: “I am already impressed. They are not finished, but you know, I think these could be some of the best sounds in the market.”
Not only in its price range, either; Nothing believes that these headphones “will hit over their weight.”
The trust of nothing goes further, since the team reflects that these headphones are as good as those that could pay twice as well as those who, and then add that they are “better than Airpods Max, and that was always the goal.”
A track
An interesting conclusion is that, although nothing shares the price, they seem to note that these headphones are so good that those who cost double, and then mention the $ 549 Airpods Max. Does that mean that Nothing headphones could list for $ 275?
While no name was mentioned, we are willing to guess that “heard” will be in the name and that the full name could be “nothing heard (pros)”.
That is all the details that we obtained the unusual ads video of Nothing, with the only other tidbit that these headphones will be sent this summer.
It is too early to say if they will really beat Airpods Max or will approach Sony’s excellent audio quality. But taking into account the audio history of nothing, this will surely be a release to see.
