What's not that good?

Hey guys. I don’t have my own pair of nothing headphones yet but I love the style and look. From what I hear the comfort can be not great after some time but can anyone tell me their criticisms or things to improve about any of the headphones? Only thing I can’t solve is software and sound issues.

I’m designing for the makerworld, Nothing Collab competition for nothing headphone accesories and I want to try and do something to solve peoples issues with them!

I have the headphones (1) since almost a year, now. They’re comfortable for prolonged use with two minor exceptions:

at sports or on really warm days the ear cushion get quite sweaty.
The headband can get a bit uncomfortable depending on where it rests. I just move the headband a bit, when pressure occurs and its ok.

These might be personal, especially the latter one, since my scull has a slight ridge where the headband usually rests 🤭 I’ve read that the new pro version has a slightly better padding.

I’m curious, wether there are reasonable aftermarket replacement which might solve these issues. A more breathable ear pad would be nice. On alixpress i saw a few options but no info about comfort of these. Experiences on these would be interesting…

I recently bought the Nothing Headphones 1 Pro, and they are very good. However, there are two things that need to be improved to help them reach their full potential and sales:

The ear cups. The ear cups make my ears sweat after just a few minutes even in normal temperatures. This is unacceptable for a $400 pair of headphones and is the main issue with the headphones. They need to improve the quality of the ear cups as soon as possible, and make replacements available to all current owners for free or at a low cost.
The carrying case and included cables need to match the color of the headphones. I bought the dark gray headphones, my case and cables are white. Why? Not a huge deal, but matching the case and the cables would be a better look.

These are nearly perfect headphones that could take over the world if Nothing would make just a few tweaks. I hope they see this and take action.
