Nothing Phone 3 is launching early next month and we will also see the first Nothing Headphone 1 model from the brand. The new product will be coming to India on the same day as the global launch, and now we have got our first unofficial teaser of the over-the-ear headphones. And yes, it has got people confused.

Nothing is known for its quirky, transparent design but it seems the Headphone 1 is taking those levels into a weird category. 

Nothing Headphone 1 Design Leak: Is It Real? 

The leaks have been spotted on X via multiple sources, and the design of the Headphone 1 does carry the transparent element. However, as you can see here, the earcups have a cassette-like layout and a square-ish module which houses the ear cups. 

Imagine wearing these over your head, and that’s what most people are finding rather too flashy and not really seeing the excitement around the design and its practical use case. 

Both the Phone 3 and Headphone 1 will be part of a grand event in London on July 1, and we expect these devices to be made available in the Indian market. Nothing Headphone 1 sounds like a weird name but goes in tandem with all the other products.

Don’t forget the Ear 1 TWS earbuds that introduced the brand in the market a few years back. And like the other products, we expect Nothing to adopt the popular transparent design with premium materials.

Nothing has emphasised its goal to simplify button interactions and enhance overall usability, aiming to create a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. The company also promises top-tier sound quality at a more accessible price point compared to the “really expensive” AirPods Max.

Earlier reports suggest all these upgrades and the focus of the product could put the Headphone 1 in the market priced at $299 (Rs 25,000 approx) where you have the Sony WH-1000X series, Bose and more brands. With the launch date getting closer, we are eager to hear more about the Headphone 1 and how Nothing plans to walk the talk.
