TL; DR

Renders and real-life images of the Nothing Headphone (1) have surfaced.
The headset is expected to launch in black and white color variants.
It includes a USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and what looks like a power button.
The Headphone (1) will launch on July 1, alongside the Nothing Phone (3).

Nothing’s upcoming over-ear headphones have leaked, this time in both real-life images and renders, and they offer the clearest look yet at what the Nothing Headphone (1) might actually look like. The design seems to follow Nothing’s signature aesthetic language, mixing transparency with bold accents and a slightly unconventional shape. From the latest images, the headphones appear in two colorways: a white version and a darker black variant.

One of the key highlights is the presence of multiple physical buttons on the ear cup. There’s a noticeably accented button, likely the power switch, alongside two more buttons that could be for volume or ANC control. The words “Nothing headphone (1)” are printed clearly on the cup, staying consistent with the branding found on other products.

More interestingly, these aren’t fully wireless-only headphones. Alongside the USB-C port, which is expected, the headset also features a 3.5mm headphone jack. There also seems to be a bunch of microphones.

Design-wise, it reminds me of the Nothing Phone (2a), though this is a completely different product. The headband and ear cup design are quite busy, yet unique enough to deliver presence, something Nothing always aims for.

Nothing Headphone (1) Specs and Launch Date

With the official launch event scheduled for July 1, where the Phone (3) will also debut, it’s likely we’ll get complete details on pricing and features soon. For now, I’m a bit hesitant to share any opinions on the design—I’ll keep them until we get to see the official renders. What are your thoughts though? Let me know.
