As for the Headphone (1) wireless headphones launched simultaneously in the Taiwan market, they are claimed to have up to 35 hours of active noise reduction battery life, support spatial audio and Hi-Res Audio high-resolution audio playback, and are tuned by the British high-end audio brand KEF.
The exterior adopts Nothing's recognizable transparent structure design, and combines an aluminum frame with visible structural parts. The outer ring of the earmuffs is designed in an oval shape to show the internal acoustic structure. The overall weight is only about 329 grams, which is about 50 grams less than AirPods Max, making it more user-friendly for long-term wear.
The body is also available in white and black, with PU leather ear pads and headband padding. The design emphasizes sweat and oil resistance, which is easy to clean, but the ear pads are still not replaceable.

It also supports fast charging function that can be used for 5 hours in 2.5 minutes.
In terms of the operating interface, Nothing chose to abandon the touch panel and instead use a more intuitive physical control combination to avoid user errors. This includes a volume wheel (which can be pressed to switch between ANC active noise reduction/transparency mode), a sliding audio lever (for song switching and fast forward/rewind), a set of shortcut function keys (preset to call the voice assistant, or corresponding to Nothing's Essential Space application), and a Bluetooth button for pairing.
When used with Nothing Phone (3), Headphone (1) can automatically switch to the most recently played audio app, supporting mainstream platforms such as Audible, SoundCloud, Patreon, etc., without having to manually operate the phone.
In terms of sound quality, Headphone (1) has been tuned in collaboration with British high-end audio brand KEF, and has made detailed adjustments for the three modes of general playback, noise reduction and spatial audio, in an effort to restore the original sound of the music.

It also supports dual-device pairing function.
