Nothing Headphone(1) 42dB ANC| Dual Device| Hi-Res+LDAC|40mm Driver|Sound by KEF Bluetooth & Wired (Black, On the Ear)
Headphone (1) features a meticulously engineered 40 mm dynamic driver paired with a high-linearity suspension system and 8.9 mm PU surround for exceptional sound performance. The nickel-plated coating minimises distortion, delivering clear high frequencies and depth in the bass. The diaphragm, rim, and dome are balanced to be lightweight yet rigid, allowing enhanced response times and minimising unwanted vibrations. This results in consistent and precise sound reproduction. The advanced PU surround in Headphone (1) is engineered for efficient sound delivery and vivid bass. It moves effectively, producing deeper, richer tones in the low frequencies. Its 8.9 mm width exceeds industry norms, minimising sound distortion and keeping the driver stable for precise vibrations, for clear vocals, vibrant mids, and an overall immersive sound.
Headphone (1) sound is engineered in partnership with KEF, an innovative player in the audio industry that brings over 60 years of experience in acoustic engineering and high-fidelity sound. Leveraging KEF’s technical expertise and proprietary, state-of-the-art equipment, Headphone (1) audio’s performance is optimised to deliver sound just as the artist intended. The driver, tuning, and an acoustic package of Headphone (1) undergo rigorous auditing and fine-tuning in KEF's specialised listening rooms in Maidstone, UK, to recreate signature sonic experiences. Headphone (1) is precisely tuned to deliver exceptional sound quality across all modes, including Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), transparency, and spatial audio.
Supporting LDAC codecs, USB-C audio, and a 3.5 mm jack, Headphone (1) ensures top-grade playback with 24-bit/96 kHz precision. With its Hi-Res Wireless certification and LDAC support, it delivers lossless wireless audio with exceptional clarity and detail. This versatility ensures high-quality sound for both wired and wireless connections, ideal for audiophiles and everyday listeners alike.
Headphone (1) incorporates advanced real-time ANC technology with dual feedforward and feedback microphones to reduce noise. This adaptive feature dynamically adjusts the noise cancellation level in real time, particularly when high-level ANC is selected, by conducting environmental noise checks every 600 m/s. Both the ANC and Transparency Mode can be easily toggled via the roller, providing a seamless and personalised experience in any environment.
Headphone (1) introduces a comprehensive spatial audio experience, integrating both on-device spatialisation and head tracking. The spatial audio transforms any stereo audio source into an immersive surround sound experience, independent of the device or player app. With head tracking, the soundstage dynamically adjusts to the user’s movements, creating an enveloping 360-degree audio field for cinematic listening and is ideal for watching films, gaming, and listening to live recordings.
Headphone (1)’s controls were designed with a focus on intuitive, tactile interaction. The Roller provides a precise, satisfying grip, while the Paddle and Button introduce unique elements that allow users to engage with the device without distraction. Dedicated buttons ensure distinct tactile feedback, eliminating the ambiguity often associated with touch controls. The Paddle provides seamless media control with short clicks to skip tracks or adjust podcasts, a hold to scrub at an enhanced speed, and release to resume normal playback. This intuitive feature allows precise navigation and effortless control – ideal for multitasking, commuting, or exercising. The Button provides a seamless, personalised listening experience, and the Channel Hop feature allows users to cycle between recent audio applications and function favourites. By eliminating the need to scroll through apps or libraries, it saves time and adds convenience, particularly during activities like exercising or commuting. Integrated with the Nothing X app, users can customise the actions of The Button to meet their preferences. It could be used to activate Nothing News Reporter, ChatGPT, Essential Space, or Voice Assistant.
Headphone (1) features a best-in-class 4-mic Environmental Noise cancellation. The system uses an AI-enabled noise reduction algorithm, trained on over 28 million scenario samples, to adapt dynamically to the user's environment. This way, high-frequency noise, such as honking or wind, is suppressed, and the wearer's voice is isolated with precision. AI-based Adaptive Beamforming ensures accurate voice capture by adaptively searching for the speaker’s position, no matter the wearing angles or positions. This innovative technology also does away with echoes and amplifies call clarity, making Headphone (1) ideal for commutes, restaurants, and outdoor use.
Headphone (1) offers up to 35 hours of playtime with ANC enabled, ensuring uninterrupted use for extended periods. Its fast-charge technology provides an additional 2.4 hours of playback (ANC ON) with just 5 minutes of charging, minimising downtime for users on the go. The 1040 mAh battery is optimised for consistent performance and longevity, making it ideal for daily use and long commutes.
Headphone (1) is backed by ChatGPT, for personalised assistance and easy access to information straight through the device. On the news front, the News Reporter widget keeps users informed about real-time happenings, fusing everyday functionality with connectivity.
