Nothing has launched its new flagship over-ear headphones, the Headphone 1 Pro, priced at $399. The device features a triple-driver system, which includes a 40mm dynamic driver for bass, a dedicated midrange driver, and an xMEMS solid-state driver for high frequencies.
A key feature is the Flat EQ switch, developed in partnership with London-based Metropolis Studios. This toggle disables all processing and spatial audio effects, aiming to provide studio professionals with a neutral sound profile. The switch is located on the inside of the left ear cup.
The headphones support high-resolution audio, including LDAC and wireless playback up to 24-bit/96kHz, as well as wired lossless audio via USB-C up to 24-bit/192kHz. They also function as an Auracast transmitter or receiver through the Nothing X app.
The device is rated IP52 for durability and features tactile physical controls, including a volume roller. The battery life is rated at up to 30 hours with active noise cancellation enabled, extending to 68 hours when the feature is turned off.
