Reviews Favor Nothing’s Headphone (a) for Price and Battery Life

Overview

• Reviewers say the £150/$199 Headphone (a) offers strong value with clear sound and effective-for-the-price noise canceling.
• Battery life is rated at up to 75 hours with active noise canceling on and 135 hours with it off, reducing how often users need to charge.
• The design keeps Nothing’s see-through look and uses tactile right-ear controls with a volume roller and a playback and call paddle.
• Savings come from fewer premium touches, including no KEF tuning, more plastic in the build, lighter ANC strength, and a pouch instead of a hard case.
• Compared with the pricier Headphone (1), reviews praise its KEF-tuned sound but flag a heavy build, multipoint audio stutters, non-folding cups, and laggy wear detection.
