Nothing has expanded its product lineup in India with the launch of the highly anticipated Nothing Headphone 1. The launch coincides with the unveiling of the Nothing Phone 3, and the new over-ear headphones aim to redefine the audio experience with premium sound, cutting-edge design, and long battery life.
The Nothing Headphone 1 is engineered to deliver an immersive listening experience, featuring Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) up to 42dB. To ensure high-fidelity audio output, Nothing has partnered with KEF, the renowned British audio company known for its expertise in acoustics and sound engineering.
Whether you're an audiophile or a casual listener, these headphones are designed to provide crystal-clear sound with enhanced depth and balance, thanks to 40mm dynamic drivers tuned by KEF engineers.
The Nothing Headphone 1 is priced at ₹21,990 in India. However, as part of a special launch day offer on July 15, customers can purchase the headphones at a discounted price of ₹19,999.
