Nothing introduces Headphone (a): Four vibrant colors and a five-day battery life

LONDON, UK - March 5, 2026 - Nothing today announced Headphone (a), a playful and powerful addition to its over-ear audio lineup. Available in Pink, Yellow, White, and Black, Headphone (a) pairs Nothing’s signature design with a bold new aesthetic and a remarkable five days of continuous listening on a single charge. Built for fashion and music lovers alike, Headphone (a) delivers a distinctive, tactile experience proving that high resolution audio is the perfect extension of personal style.

Evolved Design Meets New Aesthetic

Headphone (a) evolves Nothing’s signature design while introducing a new, expressive colour palette. Featuring new pink and yellow colourways, the design feels both playful and accessible. The lightweight 310g body and breathable memory foam cushions ensure an all-day comfort for every user. Headphone (a) has an IP52 rating, giving you certified everyday protection against dust and dirt, as well as water-resistant protection of internal components meaning sweaty work outs and bad weather are no issue.

Best-in-Class Endurance

Headphone (a) redefines what is possible for battery life, delivering up to 5 days (135 hours) of listening time with ANC off on a single charge, outlasting the market leader by half. It is built for the marathon of daily life. That’s 7 trips from London to New York and back, with some power left. When time is short, a quick 5-minute rapid charge provides a full 5 hours of playback, ensuring your soundtrack never has to stop.

Bespoke Nothing Controls

Headphone (a) is built for a natural and intuitive experience with the same tactile features introduced on Headphone (1). Integrated directly into the ear cups, the Roller, Paddle, and Button provide a precise and effortless way to adjust volume, navigate media, and switch ANC modes without the friction often associated with touch interfaces.

Now with Channel Hop you can skip through your favourite apps and functions instantly without ever reaching for your phone, simply by pressing The Button. The new Camera Shutter mode transforms the Button into a remote trigger, allowing you to capture hands-free photos or start videos on your paired smartphone with a single press.

High-Resolution Sound Meets Adaptive Intelligence

Headphone (a) is engineered for clarity, powered by certified Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless and LDAC codec, it preserves the finest details of every track with high-resolution precision. The 40mm titanium-coated driver provides a strong and durable structure, delivering powerful, distortion-free sound exactly as the artist intended.

To ensure an uninterrupted listening experience, Headphone (a) features Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation that comes with 3 presets (low, mid, high) that reduce noise around you. In Transparency Mode, you can choose to let some ambient sound in, keeping you connected to your surroundings while the hybrid ANC mode is made possible by dual feedforward and feedback mics, which work with AI technology to adapt noise cancellation in real-time based on the surroundings and the fit of your headphones. This intelligence extends to every call using a sophisticated 3-mic AI algorithm, trained on over 28 million noise scenarios, which isolates your voice for crystal-clear communication, even in the busiest environments. 

Personalised EQ on the Nothing X App

The listening experience is yours to define. Through the Nothing X app, you can access a professional 8-band Advanced EQ to fine-tune your sound profile with complete precision. Beyond simple adjustments, you can create and share custom profiles with the Nothing Community. For added depth, a real-time Bass Enhancement algorithm analyses low frequencies to deliver a powerful, punchy response without compromising the clarity of the mid and high tones.
