The headphones are available in Black, White, Pink, and Yellow colour options. Pre-orders for most colour variants have already started through Nothing’s official website and partner retailers.

Open sales for the Black, White, and Pink models are scheduled to begin on March 13, while the limited-edition Yellow variant will go on sale on April 6. 

Nothing Headphone (a): ALL you need to know

In terms of design, the Headphone (a) follows Nothing’s familiar look but adds brighter colour options this time. The headphones weigh around 310 grams, and they also carry an IP52 rating, which means it can handle light splashes or sweat during daily use.

The headphones come equipped with 40mm titanium-coated drivers and support Hi-Resolution Audio along with the LDAC codec. Nothing has also added Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that adjusts noise reduction levels based on the surrounding environment. For calls, the Headphone (a) uses a three-microphone Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) setup to focus on the user’s voice while reducing background sounds.

One interesting part of the Headphone (a) is the physical control system built into the earcups. These include the Roller, Paddle, and Button controls, allowing users to adjust volume, change tracks, switch ANC modes, or navigate between apps. The Button can even act as a remote camera shutter when connected to a smartphone.
