Nothing and its CMF sub-brand are doing some really interesting things with headphones right now, like CMF’s Headphone Pro. And the crown of most headphones belongs to the Nothing Headphone (1), whose design means you definitely won’t confuse them with any other pair of headphones.
Right now, those headphones are available at decent discounts: they’re down from $299 to $254 on Amazon US, and they’re even more marked down on Amazon UK: there, the Nothing Headphone (1) is down from £299 to just £224. In both cases, that’s a record price.
These are very smart headphones, with very effective noise cancellation, great comfort and solid build quality. They are in direct competition with the best noise canceling headphones and with these discounts they undercut many of the big names.
Plus, they make you look like one of the Cybermen from Dr. Who. You can’t say that about a Sony set.

Why there is nothing like Nothing Headphones (1)
The Nothing Headphones (1) are unlike any other headphones – there are clear echoes of the OG Sony Walkman in their design. But as we said in our Nothing Headphones review (1), while they may look retro, there’s nothing dated about their features. They include modifiable ANC, useful audio customization, lossless USB-C audio, and spatial audio as well.
This is not a case of style over substance, or design taking precedence over comfort. We found the headphones (1) to be extremely comfortable and very well made.
As for the specs, you’re looking at 40mm dynamic drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz, Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC, and IP52 water and dust resistance.
Call us Nostradamus, but as we said in our review: “Yes (well, when) get a price drop, these could be great headphones.” If you’ll pardon the grammar: when is now.
