Headphone (a) is a playful and powerful addition to our over-ear lineup.
🔋 Battery
With the longest battery life of any Nothing product to date, Headphone (a) has a truly remarkable 5 days of continuous listening on a single charge. That’s 7 trips from London to New York and back, with some power left. When that 6th day comes around and you need to charge your Headphone (a), a 5 minute charge will give you 5 hours of playback – perfect for those daily commutes.
🎨 Design
Headphone (a) arrives in four new colours; Yellow, Pink, Black, and White. But the new design goes further than just what’s on the outside. Coming in at only 310 g with memory foam ear cushions and sporting an IP52 rating with water resistant internals protecting against dirt and dust, they are ready to listen anywhere, anytime.
🔊 Sound
Headphone (a) is engineered for clarity, powered by certified Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless and LDAC codec, it preserves the finest details of every track with high-resolution precision. The 40mm titanium-coated driver provides a strong and durable structure, delivering powerful, distortion-free sound exactly as the artist intended.

Headphone (a) is built for a natural and intuitive experience with the same tactile features introduced on Headphone (1). Integrated directly into the ear cups, the Roller, Paddle, and Button provide a precise and effortless way to adjust volume, navigate media, and switch ANC modes without friction.
Now with Channel Hop you can skip through your favourite apps and functions instantly without ever reaching for your phone, simply by pressing The Button. The new Camera Shutter mode transforms the Button into a remote trigger, allowing you to capture hands-free photos or start videos on your paired smartphone with a single press.
🎧 Modes
To ensure an uninterrupted listening experience, Headphone (a) features Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation that comes with 3 presets (low, mid, high) that reduce noise around you. The listening experience is yours to define. Through the Nothing X app, you can access a professional 8-band Advanced EQ to fine-tune your sound profile with complete precision. Beyond simple adjustments, you can create and share custom profiles with the Nothing Community. For added depth, a real-time Bass Enhancement algorithm analyses low frequencies to deliver a powerful, punchy response without compromising the clarity of the mid and high tones.
In Transparency Mode, you can choose to let some ambient sound in, keeping you connected to your surroundings while the hybrid ANC mode is made possible by dual feedforward and feedback mics, which work with AI technology to adapt noise cancellation in real-time based on the surroundings and the fit of your headphones. This intelligence extends to every call using a sophisticated 3-mic AI algorithm, trained on over 28 million noise scenarios, which isolates your voice for crystal-clear communication, even in the busiest environments.
