Nothing's first over-ear headphones leak ahead of July unveiling
Nothing has probably made its biggest impression in the tech world with its distinctive mid-range Android phones (like the 3a Pro pictured above). But the UK-based brand's first product was actually wireless earbuds, and now it's preparing to unveil its first over-ear headphones on July 1. As is often the way, though, we don't have to wait until then to get our first look at the upcoming cans, as pictures have leaked online ahead of the London launch event. As you'd expect from a Nothing product, the Headphone 1 – if these leaked images are indeed legitimate – looks like nothing else on the market. A number of photos uploaded to Instagram by Nothing Fan Blog show off a typical transparent design, which looks a bit like someone has glued a cassette tape to a slab of smooth metal. It looks like the headphones will be available in black/gray and silver/white colorways. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. It's hard to determine what materials Nothing has opted for from the leaked photos, but it looks like there are at least three buttons: two on the side of the left earcup and one on the top. In one photo you can also see a wire attached to the bottom of the headphones, so presumably they'll have a 3.5mm connector. Again, we don't know for certain if this is the final design of the Headphone 1, but aesthetically speaking they could definitely stand out in what is an enormously crowded market. Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the Headphone 1 will arrive on July 1 alongside the brand's new flagship phone, the Phone 3, during a live appearance at SXSW in London earlier this month. Engadget's Igor Bonifac was impressed by Nothing's Phone 3a and 3a Pro when he reviewed both phones earlier this year, with the caveat that they carry a limited US warranty.

‘Hatke' vibes: Nothing Headphone 1 allegedly leaks ahead of July 1 launch
Nothing recently confirmed that it was going to launch its first-ever pair of headphones, called the Nothing Headphone 1, on July 1, alongside the company's flagship, the Nothing Phone 3. But now, just days before the launch, alleged images of the headphone pair in two different colourways, white and black, have surfaced online. Courtesy of an Instagram account that goes by the name @nothing_fan_blog, the account posted five images of the Nothing Headphone 1. Alleged image of the Nothing Headphone 1 in black. (@nothing_fan_blog on Instagram) Also Read: 'My patience is running thin': Nothing CEO explains why he's fed up with obsession over mobile processors Nothing Headphone 1, in the images, are visible in two different colourways. The first appears to be in white, while the second colour is black. If we think about it, this goes with what the brand has launched so far, including its earbuds, wherein it offered black and white variants. The headphones retain Nothing's signature transparent aesthetic. If there's one thing that's been constant with Nothing's products, including its phones or its audio gear, it has to be the transparent aesthetic, and this may remain the same with the Nothing Headphone 1. They appear to have a truly distinct aesthetic, which you will mostly not find on any other pair of headphones out in the open, and they will truly stand out when you wear them. A Closer Look As for the construction, the headphones appear to have a two-part construction; the base appears to be made out of metal while the top part appears to be constructed out of plastic. And if you have a closer look, you will spot buttons on the side of the headphones as well, and two are visible. Further, we also see a wire connected in the last image, but it's unclear if it's going to be a 3.5 mm jack or if it's a USB-C port. But from the construction of the wire, we can assume it's likely going to be a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which will allow for wired connectivity to your favourite output device. It currently isn't clear how much the Nothing Headphone 1 would cost, but so far, reports have suggested they could be priced around 299 Euros. MOBILE FINDER: iPhone 16 LATEST Price And More

Nothing Headphone 1 to launch in India on July 1, its sound will be tuned by premium audio company KEF
On July 1, Nothing is launching its Phone 3 in India. Now the company has confirmed that it will also be launching the Headphone 1, its first full-size headphones, in India on the same day. While it was earlier revealed that the Headphone 1 will be launched at Nothing's global event on July 1, on Friday, the company confirmed that the product is also coming to India on the same day. advertisementThe Nothing Phone 3 will also be coming to India on July 1. The confirmation about the headphones came from Akis Evangelidis, the co-founder of Nothing and its current India head. Akis tweeted on Friday, 'Headphone (1) will be launched in India at the same time as global.'Akis tweeted on the same day when multiple leaks confirmed the design of the Headphone 1. For its first big headphones, the company is going to follow a similar retro-futuristic design, complete with transparent back and industrial look, which it has so far followed with its phones. As for the earpads, it seems Nothing is going with a squarish shape instead of round, similar to some of the Bowers & Wilkins that we have seen earlier. The design also hints that the Headphone 1 is going to be a premium set of cans, with the headband using some metal and lots of padding. Along with the design, which has now come to light, we already know that the Headphone 1 will have its sound tuned by KEF. Now, KEF is a brand solely focussed on extremely high-end audio products. While its specialisation is in speakers, the brand also sells a headphone — KEF MU 7 — that is priced around $400. So, it is expected that the Headphone 1 may offer the kind of sound that punches above its weight and price point. advertisementAlthough more details about the Nothing Headphone 1 will become clear in the coming days, or on July 1, there is an indication that with its headphones, the company is taking an aim at the likes of Sony and Bose, which sell highly-regarded full-size wireless headphones. And, just like it does in the phone market, Nothing may possibly try to undercut the audio giants in pricing with the Headphone 1. This means it may come in around Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000. Along with the Headphone 1, Nothing is also launching the Phone 3 on July 1. The phone, which Nothing is calling its 'true flagship', is going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Compared to the Phone 2, it is also expected to feature a revamped camera system as well as other key improvements in areas like screen and sound system. It is expected that the Nothing Phone 3 may get a price of around Rs 60,000 in India.

Nothing to launch Headphone (1) on July 1, leak says it could look like a cassette player
Up until a point, Nothing was doing nothing (no pun intended), and all of a sudden, the London-based tech startup is all set to launch not one, but two new products. Also, we don't mean Nothing hasn't been working on new stuff — it's just that it's been a while since the company launched true high-end products. Case in point, the Nothing Phone (3) and the Nothing Headphone (1), the company's first-ever over-the-ear headphones. The Headphone (1) has been in the rumour mill ever since the company expanded its range beyond the Ear (1). Finally, it will be on July 1 that the Headphone (1) officially breaks cover, and as per Nothing's co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, the upcoming audio product is going to launch in India and other global markets at the same said that, apart from the launch date, Nothing hasn't shared any official details about the Headphone (1). However, that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from leaking some spicy renders and real-life images of the Nothing Headphone (1) have leaked from two different sources. As per Equal Leaks on X (formerly Twitter), the upcoming Headphone (1) looks like nothing we have ever seen before. The design is typical Nothing, and in one of the photos, the USB Type-C port and the 3.5mm jack are slightly visible. Credit: Equal Leaks / X (formerly Twitter) Looking at the real-life images posted by Nothing Fan Blog on Instagram, these pictures give us a better idea of what we're looking at in terms of colours. There's a white shade with silver inserts, while there's a black shade with dark grey inserts. The retro-inspired design of the Headphone (1) itself looks quite unique. On both earcups, there's this rectangular base with a transparent oval island on top, connected to the headband. The oval island reminds one of cassette players from the past. Honestly, it looks quite the looks of it, on one of the earcups, there's a button on the rectangular base, along with two more buttons on the sides. The images also suggest that the ports and buttons are placed on the same from this, there are two types of branding on both the earcups of the Headphone (1). On one side, there's 'Headphone (1)', while the other cup mentions 'Sound by KEF'. For those who don't know, Nothing and KEF — an audio brand that specialises in speakers and headphones — announced a partnership last month. The Nothing Headphone (1) looks to be the first product of this new partnership, with more expected to come in the in terms of pricing, the Nothing Headphone (1) will reportedly cost $309 (roughly Rs 26,800) in the US and 299 Pounds (roughly Rs 35,000) in the UK. As for the Indian pricing, we'll get to know pretty soon, as July 1 is not very far.

Nothing Headphone 1 images leak, showing a retro-futuristic cassette-inspired look
TL;DR Renders and real-world images of the apparent Nothing Headphone 1 have appeared online. The pictures show a pair of headphones with a transparent design and a curious shape. Nothing is gearing up to launch its first pair of over-ear headphones on July 1, called the Nothing Headphone 1. The company has kept this design firmly under wraps, but it looks like two sources have given us our first look. The Equal Leaks Telegram account posted three apparent Nothing Headphone 1 renders today. These images show a rather peculiar pair of headphones, featuring a two-step design of sorts. The pictures show a rectangular-shaped base with rounded corners. Meanwhile, a transparent oval island atop the base connects to the headband. This island also seems reminiscent of a cassette tape. Want a real-world look at the new headphones? Well, the Nothing Fan Club Instagram account has just posted five images purportedly showing the Nothing Headphone 1. You can view these pictures below. These real-world images also feature 'sound by KEF' on one of the headphones. KEF is an audio brand that specializes in speakers but also dabbles in headphones. In fact, the two companies actually announced a partnership last month, while also confirming that several 'acoustically co-developed products' were in the pipeline. It seems like the Headphone 1 could be the first product as part of this tie-up, then. We'd caution you to take these leaks with a major helping of salt, though, as we're not familiar with these sources at all. Nevertheless, if this design is confirmed, the Nothing Headphone 1 would certainly stand out from other headphones on the market. This isn't the only leak we've seen regarding Nothing's headphones. A trusted outlet reported earlier this week that the Nothing Headphone 1 will cost $309 in the US, €299 in Europe, and £299 in the UK. Got a tip? Talk to us!
