Leaked Reports Say Nothing Plans Headphone (1) Pro as Premium Over‑Ear Model

A higher‑end model with triple drivers and adaptive ANC would push Nothing into the premium headphone market.

Overview

  • Multiple tech outlets on Thursday and Friday reported a Dealabs leak that says Nothing is preparing a new Headphone (1) Pro and that the company has not confirmed the details.
  • The leak claims a Sept. 29 launch date and a $399 price in the U.S., roughly $100 more than Nothing’s existing Headphone (1).
  • Reported hardware upgrades include a triple‑driver array with an XMEMS treble driver, about 60 hours of battery life, Bluetooth 6.1, and support for LDAC and Hi‑Res audio.
  • Leaked audio and call features list 10 microphones, real‑time adaptive active noise cancellation, spatial audio with head tracking, and tuning said to involve Metropolis Studios.
  • Design notes say an aluminum body with scratch‑resistant glass in black and white and the possible retention of physical controls would position the Pro as a more premium product but all specs and timing remain unverified.
