Nothing is getting ready to make its mark in the over-ear headphone market. The company’s first full-sized headphones, confirmed to launch on July 1 alongside the Nothing Phone (3), have now had their European price leaked—offering a potentially strong alternative to more expensive rivals.
According to trusted leaker billbil-kun via Dealabs, the Nothing Headphone (1) will cost €299 in Europe. That puts them well below high-end options like Apple’s AirPods Max (€509), and right in the mix with models like Sony’s WH-1000XM5. The leak also suggests the headphones will be available in white, gray, and black, with sales expected to begin by September 30. According to a previous leak, the Headphone (1) will cost $299 in the US.
Nothing first teased the headphones back in May, promising a fresh design language and a focus on user-friendly controls. Instead of touch-sensitive surfaces, the Headphone (1) is hinted to feature physical buttons for playback and volume—a choice that makes it easier for users to identify and operate the controls without guessing.
The company also hinted at high-quality audio and a distinctive look, likely staying true to Nothing’s minimalist and transparent design ethos. Their recent partnership with British audio brand KEF also raises expectations for solid audio performance, though official specs haven’t been revealed yet.
With just a few weeks to go, anticipation is building. If Nothing can deliver the same blend of style, performance, and value that it has with its Ear series, the Headphone (1) could become a standout option in the premium audio space—without the premium price tag.
