Nothing Headphone (1) sees first discount ahead of Black Friday
November 10, 2025

The Nothing Headphone (1) is getting its first-ever sale, dropping from $299 to $254 ($45 off) ahead of Black Friday. That’s 15% off a pair of over-ears that only launched this summer, making this the lowest price we’ve seen yet. These are the company’s first over-ear headphones, blending Nothing’s signature transparent, retro-tech design with a premium feature set that rivals Sony and Bose.
In my testing, the Headphone (1) impressed me with strong active noise canceling, nearly 43 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, and an uncommon IP52 water-resistance rating that makes them durable enough for workouts or travel. The tactile physical controls are a joy to use, and the excellent 8-band parametric EQ in the Nothing X app offers more tuning flexibility than most competitors. You can also opt to use the SoundGuys EQ settings from the community page directly within the app, which remains one of the most-downloaded presets.
That fix gives the headphones more balanced Timbre and improved Immersiveness, resulting in a sound that is closer to our house curve. At $254, the Headphone (1) finally hits the sweet spot between bold design, customization, and real-world usability—making this an easy recommendation for anyone who feels enticed by Nothing’s first over-ears.
