Nothing has launched the Headphones (1) Pro, its most advanced and expensive headphones to date. They are available in black or white from 29 September, with a recommended retail price of $399, £349 or about AU$657.
The company positions the headphones as a pair for both listening on the move and music production. Their triple-driver system uses a dynamic bass driver, a second dynamic driver for midrange frequencies and an xMEMS driver for high frequencies. Metropolis Studios tuned the drivers, and a Flat EQ switch is intended to provide a neutral sound profile for production. Studio B is a spatial audio mode designed to mimic the acoustics of a mixing room.
The headphones also have active noise cancellation (ANC) with 10 microphones, five spatial audio modes with head tracking, and adjustable EQ. For wired listening, USB-C supports lossless audio up to 24-bit/192kHz; wireless hi-res audio is available through LDAC.
In TechRadar's review, Becky Scarrott describes the sound as “sonically gifted” and praises the ANC and transparency mode. The review also says the headphones are expensive and very heavy in their chunky carrying case, and notes that Nothing's other headphones cost less. Nothing says the redesigned ear cushions provide a stronger seal, the wider padded headband improves long-term comfort, and the cups use scratch-resistant 9H Panda Glass.
