Nothing Headphone (1) Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Over Ear Headphones with 6 MICS, Personalized Spatial Audio, Tuning by KEF, Up to 80 Hours Playtime, Bluetooth Headset BlackCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

I have to say I'm happy I didn't listen to the bad wrap some are giving these headphones....Don't listen to the Nay-Sayers...ALL BLUETOOTH NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES SOUND LESS THAN STELLAR TO THEIR WIRED COUNTERPARTS! These are awesome and for the price they give you the most flexibility to tinker with the sound profile....Give them a try you'll be happy you did....The only thing I regret, is not getting the white ones, but I'll get over it!

In terms of overall sound quality, these headphones perform well. I like having physical controls, so they're easy to use for someone like me who struggles to remember the finger tap motions that other headsets often require. The downloadable app adds a new layer of functionality, giving me the ability to adjust the listening experience—whether by increasing or decreasing the bass and treble, or fine-tuning the Active Noise Control (ANC).Transparency mode is unique in that I can still enjoy my music while also hearing exterior sounds clearly enough if someone needs my attention. There's a built-in microphone, so phone calls can be made, and the long battery life is especially helpful on travel days.As for the fit, the ear pads are about as comfortable as my other pair. The one area where I feel improvements could be made is in regard to weight, which is approximately 11.5 ounces. For reference, my other headphones weigh only 8 ounces, so while a 3-ounce difference may not seem like much, I do notice the added weight after wearing them for extended periods—especially while sitting upright. That’s the main reason I’m removing one star. Even my spouse said they felt heavy, so there's a consensus on that point.If these were lighter, I wouldn’t hesitate to give them five stars, because the sound quality and noise cancelling are exceptional.

Sounds great, has an eye catching design. Very light and easy to wear, fits my aesthetic honestly I’m just moving away from apple

The quality is very good! I love this earphone.

I’m not buying all the good reviews. The only reason have two stars is they look cool. I returned the first set I received because I thought they were a bad set they sounded so bad. When I got the second set I realized no they are just the worst headphones I’ve ever had on my head. Unless your super rich and just want something cool looking to hang on your head then stay away from theses. I literally put on my grandsons 30 dollar Walmart headphones and they blew these away. First the air pressure design is bad because when you adjust them , and you will a lot because they are heavy and uncomfortable , the sound distorts everytime you adjust them. Thank goodness the loudness also sucks because anything over quarter of the way up and the bass distorts. The foam rubber is cheap and u comfortable and the type that will smell real bad after a few short neighborhood walks if you sweat even a little. The clear plastic I already know because I k ow plastics will be turning color in the sun pretty quickly. Stay far away from these and if your looking for way better sound spend fifty bucks , or even 30 at Walmart like my grandson did.

The Nothing Headphones are an absolute sensory experience; stylish, incredibly comfortable (for the right head size), and surprisingly powerful when it comes to audio performance. I’ve used headphones from both Bose for many years and Nothing a year or two, and I’m starting to lean toward Nothing as my preferred brand.Positives:+ Fit & Comfort (for larger heads):These are big headphones. I mean genuinely oversized which for me, with an enormous head, is a godsend. The band extends further than any other headset I’ve tried and offers a secure but gentle fit. I wore these for 8 hours straight with zero pressure points or fatigue.+ Sound Quality:Flat out incredible. The default tuning is already impressive, but once you open the app and start adjusting the EQ, you can dial in everything from deep cinematic bass to razor-sharp mids and highs. I boosted the low end a bit for my use, and it never got muddy, just richer and more immersive.+ Noise Cancellation:The ANC is very effective. While it doesn’t quite match the elite tier like Sony XM5s or AirPods Max, it’s close enough that I never felt like I was missing out. With adjustable levels in the app, you can tweak it based on your environment. It blocks out most distractions easily.+ Dual Bluetooth & App Experience:The app is non-negotiable: you need it. This is where the magic happens. You get access to firmware updates, multipoint Bluetooth pairing (works flawlessly), customizable controls, and EQ settings. Setup was easy, and the app has been stable so far.+ Gaming Performance (COD tested):I dropped into a game of Call of Duty to test sound staging and directional audio. Honestly, I wasn’t ready. The sound hit so hard and was so precise and immediately had sniper rounds buzzing past my head that literally made me flinch. Once I settled in, the headset delivered stunning positional audio. Hit markers snapped with force, and footsteps were not only louder but clearer in terms of direction. These aren’t “gaming” headphones, but the immersion was outstanding. Latency on Bluetooth is fine for casual gaming, but you must go into the app and turn on the gaming function for latency. I'm not sure what happens if you just leave this function on?+ Battery Life:It seems endless.+ Build & Aesthetics:Nothing nailed the look and feel here. The industrial transparency design is instantly recognizable, and the build quality feels premium throughout. Buttons are tactile, responsive, and thankfully not replaced with clumsy touch controls. The controls are also wonderfully unique, almost a nod to the styling uniqueness of the Nothing brand.Negatives:– Fit for Smaller Heads:On the smallest setting, the headset is still too loose for my wife’s head. It doesn’t clamp tightly enough to stay secure. If you have a small or narrow head, this may be a deal-breaker. It will not work for a child.– Carry Case Issues:The included case looks sleek but isn’t the most practical. The inner pocket is oversized and doesn’t secure the included USB-C or 3.5mm cables well. The zipper is tiny and stiff, making opening and closing a chore. For a travel case, it’s oddly frustrating.– Mic Limitations (for gamers):This headset isn't designed with gaming voice chat in mind. The mic quality seems decent, but there’s no clear mute/unmute control (or at least not one that’s obvious). I had to disable it at the system level on my PC. If you're planning to use these as your daily gaming headset, be aware that mic convenience and control are lacking and I found nothing in the instruction manual or app to assist.Final Thoughts:If you’re an audio lover with a larger head and an eye for bold design, Nothing Headphones 1 will blow you away. The sound is rich, immersive, and tunable to your preferences. For music, travel, and even casual gaming, they’re easily one of the best values in the sub-$300 range. That said, if you have a smaller head or need a mic with gaming-level flexibility, you’ll want to weigh that before buying.Highly recommended for audiophiles and style-conscious users with a few quirks to be aware of.

Bass distorsion at high volume due to improper seal. When the seal is adjusted the issue goes away but then whenever the seal breaks it starts again. I am so disappointed.
