Nothing Headphone 1 is set to be unveiled on July 1, coinciding with the launch of the Nothing Phone 3. Ahead of this awaited release, details regarding the specifications of the first over-ear headphones from the UK-based brand have surfaced. These headphones are rumored to feature active noise cancellation (ANC) and spatial audio technology. They are expected to utilize 40mm driver units equipped with LDAC codec support. A 1,040mAh battery is anticipated to power the headphones, promising up to 54 hours of listening time on a single charge. Information shared by tipster Yogesh Brar was reported by Android Headlines, outlining the features of the upcoming Nothing Headphone 1. The headphones are believed to be fitted with 40mm PU and nickel-coated dynamic drivers designed by KEF. Additional features are said to include an eight-band equalizer, adaptive bass enhancement, spatial audio, and on-ear detection capabilities. The headphones are expected to provide adaptive ANC with noise cancellation of up to 42dB, along with a transparency mode. Users might be able to enjoy compatibility with AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs, and adjustments for different settings can likely be made through the Nothing X app available on Android and iOS devices. According to the report, the headphones could incorporate controls based on touch, paddles, and buttons.

Additionally, Nothing is rumored to enhance these over-ear headphones with Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair technologies, facilitating swift connectivity with Android and Microsoft products. They are anticipated to feature Bluetooth 5.3 for linking and an LED indicator to show the charging status. The report suggests that the Nothing Headphone 1 will house a 1,040mAh battery, potentially allowing for up to 80 hours of use with ANC disabled when streaming audio in the AAC codec format. This duration may decrease to 35 hours with ANC enabled. If users opt for the LDAC codec, the battery life could drop to 54 hours without ANC and 30 hours with it active. Furthermore, fast charging technology is also thought to be included, allowing a quick five-minute charge to provide approximately 2.4 hours of playback time with ANC activated, and up to five hours when ANC is off.
