What you might want to know
- Rumors concerning the Nothing Headphone a floor once more, claiming the mannequin might truly have A-series pricing.
- The report states the headphones might value half the value of the Headphone 1, at round €159 (~$187).
- In Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei’s interview, he briefly talked about how well-received the Headphone 1 was, however stated nothing (no pun supposed) about this alleged mannequin.
Rumors say Nothing’s cooking up extra than simply finances telephones this yr, as its subsequent headphones may additionally make an look.
French publication Dealabs suggests Nothing’s subsequent pair, referred to as the “Headphone a,” could present up this yr (through 9to5Google). That is not what’s most essential right here, as rumors allege this subsequent pair might take the value level down a notch over Nothing’s Headphone 1. Supposedly, the Headphone a might rock a beginning value of €159 throughout Europe (~$187).
The publication notes that this supposed pricing is roughly half the value of the corporate’s Headphone 1. On paper, this is smart. Nothing’s A-series is usually its “finances” line, however I assume it isn’t as budget-y as its CMF model and its $79 Headphone Professional.
It is laborious to slender down what to anticipate feature-wise, contemplating the A-series tag and the decrease pricing. What these rumors broaden on is the colorways. The Headphone a could hit the market with 4 choices: pink, white, black, and yellow. The report closes by stating Nothing might debut these new headphones early subsequent month, on March 5 (for pre-orders).
From 1 to a
The Headphone 1 arrived in July final yr with a $299 price ticket within the U.S. This was the corporate’s first steps into over-ear headphones with bodily buttons and rollers, and all of the traditional bells and whistles shoppers do not usually get anymore. The ear cups had been geared up with a gentle, plush reminiscence foam for consolation, too. In testing, the Headphone 1 impressed Android Central’s Harish Jonnalagadda, as they rapidly grew to become a favourite for audio merchandise in 2025.
Nothing hasn’t formally teased these headphones simply but. The corporate’s CEO, Carl Pei, was concerned in a brief interview in a YouTube video about Nothing’s 2026 outlook. The Headphone 1 was introduced up, however largely as a consequence of its constructive reception in 2025. Primarily, discussions had been held about telephones, with Pei stating shoppers can count on a Telephone 4 collection this yr, however no new flagship.
Android Central’s Take
I feel what I am most trying ahead to is what these headphones might provide, extra so for the reason that value is perhaps lower. What sound are we bringing to the desk this yr, ? I am not one for sporting over-ear headphones out and about, as one thing like that is usually reserved for PC gaming classes. Nonetheless, there is a marketplace for this form-factor, and it will be good (and ultimate) for Nothing to maintain that very same vitality it had from the Headphone 1. These rumors alleged a possible March debut, which strains up with what we have heard concerning the Telephone 4 collection. So, let’s simply wait and see.
