Overview
- Nothing made the Headphone (1) Pro available on Sept. 29 for $399 through its website, Amazon, and Best Buy, marking the company’s move into a higher‑priced flagship tier.
- Each earcup uses three drivers — a 40mm dynamic for bass, a precision dynamic for mids, and an xMEMS treble driver — to split frequency duties and improve clarity and transient detail.
- A physical Flat EQ switch, developed with Metropolis Studios, disables processing so users can hear a neutral response, and the Nothing X app adds parametric EQ and independent driver tuning.
- Active noise cancellation uses a 10‑microphone system that Nothing says reaches roughly 45–46 dB of reduction, but the Pro’s ANC‑on battery life falls to about 30 hours versus longer runtimes on the prior model.
- With premium materials, LDAC and wired lossless support, and studio‑oriented features, the Headphone (1) Pro positions Nothing to challenge Sony, Bose, and Apple for buyers who want both accurate monitoring and daily ANC performance.
