Nothing's over-ear Headphone (a) is drawing attention with a fresh discount that brings its price to $119, down from $199. The model offers a refined mix of style, comfort, and performance, positioning itself as a more accessible alternative to the brand's flagship headphones while keeping much of the same premium feel.
Built for long listening sessions, the headphones deliver up to 135 hours of playback with ANC and AAC off, or around 75 hours with ANC enabled. A five-minute charge can add roughly eight minutes of listening time, while a full recharge takes about two hours. Through the companion app, users can adjust noise filtering, switch listening modes, and activate Transparency mode.
Sound performance is another highlight. The 40mm dynamic drivers and 20-40kHz frequency response support Hi-Res Audio certification, while the More Bass EQ preset adds depth without overwhelming the rest of the mix. Four HD microphones help improve voice pickup and keep calls clear in everyday environments.
The headphones also include spatial audio with head tracking, LDAC support, and USB-C lossless audio. Compared with the flagship model, the design is lighter and more understated, which may appeal to listeners who want a more compact, low-key option without giving up core features.
With strong battery life, flexible controls, and a balanced feature set, Nothing Headphone (a) stands out as a compelling choice in the wireless ANC category. As audio hardware continues to evolve, products like this may help shape a future where premium listening becomes more accessible to more people.
