Nothing’s Headphone 1 Might Be Its Riskiest Audio Product Yet

Nothing has a lot Wireless audio products at this stage – to deceive myself, I covered them all. First of all, there was the Ear 1SO ear 2So the Ear stick (Rip), then the ear, then the Ear toSO OpenAnd, oh my god, it’s a lot of wireless eg. There is a type of audio product that he has never published, however, and it is a pair of headphones. All this will change very soon, according to recent leaks from Nothing_fan_blog on Instagram, who disclosed the company Helmet 1.

It is apparently nothing of the first over-ear headphones, and it is not only a precedent; It looks like a large swing. First of all, there is the look. As you can see, there is always nothing characteristic transparency – you can see a little inside the headphones as in the earphones in the ear series, but with a slightly different rotation. I do not know for you guys, but I receive a great atmosphere of cassette / tape recorder, which goes well with Nothing canonical reverence for old boys and technology walkmans. There is even a new soft blue color that works apart from typical white and black and evolves a theme solidified by the ear, wireless headphones, which made their debut in a Play yellow game yellow.

However, probably more notable than color or transparency is the real form of these things. A choice that you have probably noticed is that the ears – or really the whole device that holds them – are rectangular instead of rounds or ellipticals like most headphones. For me, it is actually the most discordant of all design choices and that I will guess may be a divider between audio fans and non-faans. As a person who has trouble not to look like a small child in oversized headphones, I have doubts about the decision to go to the rectangular here, but I will reserve the judgment until I get a pair on my head.

That’s all to say: nothing takes risks, and it’s not just design. Wireless and over-ear headphones are also part of a few elements on the price and quality. On this last front, the price, we can reasonably expect that headphones 1 is more expensive than any of its wireless headphones in the past. If I were a Paris, I guess they will always be well under high -end competitors as Airpods MaxBut still $ 200 or more. And on the side of the quality of things, we can expect the headset 1 to be decidedly hi-fi. Nothing has already announced that it is associated with Kef, an entity known in the Hi-Fi audio space, and the Headphone 1 seems to be the first product nothing born of this partnership. As indicated by Whathifi, The disclosed images show “sound by kef” directly sporting the headphones themselves, making it the first clear crossing in a higher-end audio space.

So, to summarize, what we look at is a very first product for nothing in a new audio niche with a higher price and a fairly large swing on design. To be honest, it’s not just a swing; It looks more like three, and according to America’s favorite hobby, three strikes and you came out. To be clear, it is impossible to say at this stage if one of these oscillations of helmet 1 is however a lack. I have not seen the headphones in person, I did not listen to them, and I do not know how much they cost. Maybe we look at two or three points on the basis, or perhaps nothing has hit a big slam. Anyway, nothing clearly plays a new game here, and I can’t wait to see (or hear, I suppose) how it goes.
