Nothing introduced budget Headphone(a) with 135 hours of battery life
10.03.26
Nothing introduced new wireless headphones Nothing Headphone (a). The model debuted simultaneously with the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro smartphones and became the first full-size budget model in the brand’s lineup.
The novelty is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the flagship Headphone (1) headphones, which were released in the summer of 2025.
Budget version of full-size headphones
Nothing Headphone (a) has retained the brand’s signature design. The model will be available in four colors: black, white, yellow and pink – such options were not previously used in the company’s lineup.
The headphones are equipped with 40 mm dynamic drivers with titanium coating. Hi-Res Audio Wireless is supported, as well as the LDAC codec for high-quality audio transmission.
The model has active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode. For quick connection to devices, Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair protocols are used.
Up to 135 hours of battery life
One of the key features of the model is its battery life. According to the manufacturer, the headphones can work for up to 135 hours without active noise cancellation. With ANC turned on, the battery life is up to 75 hours.
In talk mode, the device can work for up to 72 hours. Fast charging is also supported: five minutes of connecting the cable is enough for about five hours of playback.
The controls are implemented using three physical elements: a Roller wheel for volume control, a Paddle switch for changing modes, and a Button for controlling playback and calls.
The earcups are made of memory foam, and the headband is covered with soft silicone. The weight of the headphones is 310 g. The case has IP52 protection, which ensures resistance to dust and sweat.
The Nothing Headphone (a) is already open for pre-order. The model costs €159.
