WojtekWiatrowski I did a lot of testing with the last night with the stock tuning and other EQ settings I’ve found. I noticed that the bass enhance option doesn’t really do much at all, doesn’t matter what level it’s set at it hardly has any effect that you can notice. I too love my music to be a little on the bass heavy end, compared to my nothing ear buds the bass is excellent there and the enhancement feature actually does something.

I also compared them to my roommates Bose quietcomforts and the Bose were most definitely louder at the same volume level and the bass was much deeper. If they could get it in the ballpark of those I would be extremely happy considering the Bose cost about $80 less too.

I’m starting to understand why the countless reviews I’ve seen of these headphones were so contradictory. Some said they were too quiet or the bass was a bit weak, others said the opposite on both counts. A few people also mentioned crackling noise. I think these people started testing the headphones at different points during the updates.

Regarding volume, I also compared them to my computer headphones, which can be almost twice as loud, and the bass practically shakes my head. I’m not saying which is better, because when I listen to Nothing with a custom EQ, I hear much more depth and new sounds in the tracks, something that confirms that those are surely an upgrade. The sound quality is very good, but they’re simply too quiet, and at times I wish they could add more bass. What they’re currently generating at level 5 should be level 1.

jmart24

WojtekWiatrowski yeah I completely agree 100%. I don’t think they sound bad by any means, with the right EQ you can make them sound great for what you like. They just feel they’re not reaching their full potential and are being limited. It really feels like the right firmware update could change that.

When it available your next version is that solve our volume issue? Is that get back it original performance?
If not How we can get service? or return product?

SleepingAtSea

I sent another feedback but the response was still generic. Hopefully support are seeing this feedback and consider reverting to the original firmware.

jmart24

SleepingAtSea I never even got a replay lol, it’s been 4 days now. I’ve decided I’m just going to return them.

sajindask

Honestly, I think no one here is still hopeful anymore. The community has been raising the same issue again and again, but the team shows no movement at all toward solving it.

What’s even worse is the impression that the devs aren’t even aware of what’s being reported in the community. That’s very disappointing, especially from a brand that presents itself as “re-innovated.” 😒

Major companies always check versions properly before release. Is there seriously no QC team at Nothing? Who is responsible for pushing out a version that re-introduces bugs we already suffered through before?

At this point, the real questions are:

What value are we actually getting for the money we spent?
Who will fix this issue, and when?
Is there any responsible person or team here willing to clarify the situation?

This is becoming a very bad experience for customers who genuinely wanted to support the brand. Transparency and accountability are the least we deserve.

WojtekWiatrowski

sajindask I couldn’t have said it better myself. This company’s support is a bunch of AI bots who talk to you like you’re stupid. I haven’t received a clear answer as to whether the issues I reported have been addressed, or if the team plans to fix anything. I’m leaving for a long trip at the end of September and really wanted to take these headphones with me, but if nothing changes, I’ll have to return them.

jmart24

WojtekWiatrowski yeah I just returned mine, such a shame. I bought Sony ult wears and it blows them out of the water for half the cost.

sajindask

jmart24 I’m also think about it. I will also do it. Never recommend this brand to any one… very very sadly…

jmart24

sajindask it is and it’s such a shame because it’s beautiful hardware, and I really loved everything else about it. But its most important function falls short.

Hello,

I recently bought the Nothing Headphone (1) and everything works great 👌

The only real problem is that I can’t update the firmware to version 1.0.1.74…

I get a message saying: “Firmware update failed”

Does anyone know the solution? Thanks 😁

The .1.74 released like, a month ago, and they were previously releasing an update per week, half-week.

I really hope the bass problem really gets fixed. I’ve been missing the good bass level even if it crackled sometimes like when I opened the box and tried it.

I still have hope in it.

Really reminds me to some phrase of my country: “We were better when we were worse”.

WojtekWiatrowski

Excel Well they better cook something incredible if it takes so much time. On the other hand, Im afraid the whole attention just went to their new buds… Maybe fix existing products first and than launch new ones

Firmware (bot) Hi, I just wanted to make sure it’s on your radar. The bass enhancement feature doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried changing to different levels on my custom EQ but nothing changes.

Also, on the topic EQ’s, why is it that the default tune is about 20% louder than custom EQ tunes?

Is the another firmware update planned?

sajindask

Nothing team saying that The Headphone (1) Has no warranty. Is that get same as situation for all of them?

But their website and package has notify it has warranty? So is they are cheating?

SleepingAtSea

I did a full reset on my Headphone (1) today to see if the bass enhancement would work again but no, no change. Still doesn’t work.

Really hoping we see another FW update quickly for these. The original FW sounded so great, wish I could get this back onto these!

SleepingAtSea I myself tried the reset, also without help sadly. I did get a response from support just now that sounds somewhat comforting. It’s the following:

"Thank you for reaching out and sharing your honest feedback about the current situation with the Nothing Headphone (1). We completely understand how important the bass enhancement feature is to you and the community, and we hear you loud and clear. Rest assured, we are dedicated to providing you with the support you need.

Please know that your concerns are taken very seriously. We have shared your feedback with our relevant teams to ensure it is fully understood and prioritized. While we don’t have an exact timeline to share right now for the next update, please rest assured that work is actively ongoing to improve the experience and address the bass enhancement issue."

Even though they couldn’t say an exact time for when the update comes regarding the bass enhancement, they do seem to acknowledge the issue and working on it. All we can do is hope it’ll actually fix the issues we’re having.
