Nothing Headphone (1) Pro receives mixed review due to weight and case design
Nothing has released its third premium over-ear noise-cancelling headphone model under the main brand name.
Audio performance and comfort improvements
The company claims significant gains in active noise cancellation and comfort levels for this new model. Additional spatial audio profiles and head-tracking options are included to add value to the listening experience. Personal sound settings and equalizer tweaks are also well implemented within the device software.
Design flaws and pricing concerns
Reviewers note that the headphones feel cumbersome and heavy, which makes them difficult to carry around. The included case is described as silly and contributes to the overall bulk of the product. Critics also point out that the flat audio switch is hard to locate and cannot be moved in the app.
Market positioning and value assessment
The price tag is considered expensive when compared to the firm's excellent budget efforts from its CMF arm. Despite these drawbacks, the product retains a unique visual identity that refuses to copy standard designs like AirPods.
