Nothing Headphone (1) Pro unveiled with more powerful sound and a premium design
Nothing has unveiled its new flagship full-size Headphone (1) Pro headphones. The headphones retain the distinctive design of the company’s previous Headphone (1) model, but the sound system, active noise cancellation technology and construction have been significantly upgraded.
The headphones’ main frame is made of aluminum, while the earcup joints are made of a titanium alloy. The transparent plastic panels have now been replaced with scratch-resistant Panda Glass with a hardness rating of 9H. Weighing 327 grams, the Headphone (1) Pro is only 2 grams lighter than the original model. The ear cushion padding is 50% softer than on the previous model, while the headband is 10% wider. The earcups’ greater range of movement also helps them fit more comfortably around the ears. The enclosure is protected against dust and splashing water in accordance with the IP52 standard.
One of the Headphone (1) Pro’s main advantages is its three-driver acoustic system. Each earcup contains a 40 mm dynamic driver for deep bass, an additional full-range driver for midrange frequencies and an xMEMS driver with a silicone diaphragm for reproducing high frequencies. The model is Hi-Res Audio certified. LDAC, AAC, SBC and LC3 codecs are supported over Bluetooth 6.1. Audio quality reaches 24 bit/96 kHz over a wireless LDAC connection and lossless 24 bit/192 kHz over a wired USB Type-C connection.
The headphones also support Dynamic Spatial Audio technology with head tracking. Users can choose from five different spatial audio modes. One of them is the Studio B profile, developed together with London’s Metropolis Studios. The active noise cancellation system (ANC) uses an array of 10 microphones and new silicone isolation technology. According to the manufacturer, the system can reduce external noise by up to 46 dB.
Nothing has not abandoned its traditional approach to controls either. The headphones feature physical, tactile buttons. There is also a dedicated button called Flat EQ. This feature instantly disables all software processing applied to the audio, providing the most neutral, or “flat,” sound possible. The feature is intended especially for audio engineers and content creators.
Smart features include Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, Multipoint for simultaneous connections to two devices, a low-latency mode and sensors that automatically pause music when the headphones are removed. The 1060 mAh battery allows the Headphone (1) Pro to operate for up to 30 hours with ANC enabled and up to 68 hours with noise cancellation turned off.
Nothing Headphone (1) Pro is available in black and white. A soft carrying case is also included. The headphones cost 399 dollars.
