Nothing just took a direct shot at the AirPods Max with their latest release: the Headphone (1). These aren’t just another pair of cans; they’re tuned by audio gurus KEF and sport a retro-futuristic vibe that’ll make Bose and Sony look a little… traditional. Available in sleek silver or black, you get a unique transparent outer shell with an anodized aluminum speaker housing that just looks different.
But it’s not just about the looks. The Headphone (1) packs a serious punch on the tech front. You’re getting up to 35 hours of playback with ANC on, or a ridiculous 80 hours with ANC off. The KEF-tuned drivers support high-resolution audio and native LDAC playback right out of the box. Plus, they kept it real with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-C port, Transparency Mode, and proper physical controls for easy volume, music navigation, and high-speed scrubbing.
The Headphone (1) is priced at $299. If you’re ready to ditch the normcore headphones and embrace something truly unique that doesn’t skimp on audio quality, Nothing just dropped your next obsession here.
