Nothing’s New Headphones Will Outlast Your Longest Flight (And Then Some)

If your current over-ears consistently die mid-flight, Nothing just dropped the solution. Their new Headphone (a) made a loud debut at MWC 2026, and the headline stat is legitimately insane: 135 hours of battery life. Even with Active Noise Cancellation cranked up, you’re still getting 75 hours of playback. To put that in perspective, you could fly from London to New York seven times on a single charge and still have juice left for the commute home.

Visually, Nothing is leaning into a more playful, lifestyle-focused vibe compared to their flagship Headphone (1). You get the signature transparent accents, but they’ve added a Limited Edition Yellow and a Pink to the standard Black and White lineup. They’ve also ditched finicky touch gestures for tactile physical controls, including a Roller for volume and a Paddle for skipping tracks. At just 310g with memory foam cushions, they’re built to be worn for the entire five-day battery stretch.

Under the hood, 40mm titanium-coated drivers handle the audio, supported by LDAC for high-res wireless streaming. They’ve even baked in a Remote Camera Shutter button, so you can prop up your phone and trigger a group shot directly from your ear cup. These cans are live here for $199. If you want that bold yellow pair, you’ll have to wait until April 6.
