Nothing Launches Headphone (1) Pro With Triple Drivers and Titanium
Nothing has revealed its flagship over-ear headphones featuring triple drivers, advanced noise cancellation, and a titanium build.
Nothing has officially introduced its flagship over-ear headset, the Headphone (1) Pro, following a series of earlier promotional teasers. According to a recent report by GSMArena, this new hardware release brings several notable audio and physical upgrades compared to previous models.
Audio Performance and Noise Cancellation
The audio architecture relies on three distinct drivers. A 40mm dynamic unit handles low frequencies, a secondary dynamic driver provides precision sound, and an xMEMS driver utilizes a silicone diaphragm specifically for high-frequency reproduction.
For spatial sound, the device includes Dynamic Spatial Audio alongside head tracking capabilities. Users can choose from multiple environments, including Standard, Live House, Club, Concert Hall, and a custom preset modeled after Studio B at Metropolis Studios. Hi-Res Audio certification is also included.
Active noise cancellation is powered by a ten-microphone array. The manufacturer states this system achieves up to 46 dB of ambient sound reduction.
Build Quality and Comfort
Externally, the chassis retains the visual identity of the original Headphone (1) while incorporating a scratch-resistant glass exterior panel. Structural components utilize lightweight titanium paired with an aluminum frame.
Ergonomic changes include a headband that is ten percent wider than its predecessor, accompanied by thicker padding. The ear cups feature increased flexibility, and the cushions are designed for a softer feel against the head.
The physical structure carries an IP52 protection rating and incorporates tactile control switches, plus a dedicated Switch button to toggle a Flat EQ. Weight registers at 327 grams, and the product ships in Black or White alongside a padded carrying case.
Connectivity and Battery Life
Wireless communication is handled via Bluetooth 6.1, which supports Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and quick setup procedures on Apple hardware. Dual device connectivity, automatic wear detection, and a low-latency mode are also standard.
Supported audio codecs include AAC, SBC, LDAC, and LC3.
Power is supplied by a 1,060mAh battery cell. When active noise cancellation is enabled, users can expect up to 30 hours of continuous playback. Disabling the feature extends total runtime up to 68 hours. Rapid replenishment is supported through a USB-C connection.
