Following recent news about the upcoming Phone (3), Nothing has now officially confirmed the launch date for its first over-ear headphones. The new device, named Nothing Headphone (1), will be unveiled on July 1 at a special event in London, which will also serve as the debut platform for the Phone (3).
The event will begin at 6 PM local time in London, positioning it for global attention across major markets. This marks Nothing’s first foray into the over-ear audio category, a move that expands its growing hardware portfolio beyond smartphones and earbuds.
Nothing has previously confirmed a partnership with British audio brand KEF, a respected name in high-fidelity sound, to co-develop upcoming audio products. While specific details about the Headphone (1)’s technical specifications are still under wraps, the involvement of KEF suggests a strong focus on audio quality—a promising signal for audiophiles and premium headphone buyers.
Rumors first surfaced in February about the company’s plans to enter the over-ear segment, and anticipation has only grown since. While pricing hasn’t been officially announced, a recent leak suggests the Headphone (1) could be priced at $299, with availability potentially following in September.
The launch of Headphone (1) comes as Nothing aims to solidify its position as a design-led tech company with a distinct product ecosystem. The company’s earbuds have previously stood out for their transparent design and competitive features, and it’s likely the upcoming headphones will follow the same visual and branding ethos.
With a co-branded product tied to an established high-end audio partner and a simultaneous unveiling alongside a new flagship smartphone, Nothing appears to be betting big on July 1 to showcase the next phase of its hardware ambitions.
