“And at their first stab at the over-the-ear market I do think that they should be proud at what they've actually achieved. You've got a good set of features... The problem however in my opinion is its overall price.”
TotallydubbedHD · Jul 2025 · 18:56 →“These headphones are £299, £299. They are a good value for money especially in this day and age where all of the good headphones are like 400, 500 pounds.”

“Personally, I think they were worth the money... if you're into the aesthetics and you want something striking that is out of the ordinary from your daily typical headphones... plus the sound thing I complained about is easily fixable with…”
Toolsplit · Apr 2026 · 8:31 →“I'm scoring the headphone 1 a 9 out of 10 here. You get a nice premium build, high quality hard plastics from the headband, the transparent plastic looks and feels premium, and you get a nice aluminum finish surrounding it.”

“Both are comfortable, both use memory foam cushions and both are easy to wear all day. They also both have IP52 water and dust resistance, which is actually rare in this category.”
Headphones Pro Review · Mar 2026 · 8:10 →“Comfort-wise, these are fantastic! The clamp isn't too strong, it has a significant amount of spring to it allowing it to conform to your head really quite nicely.”

“Out of the headphones I have been testing, they just have the best overall clarity when it comes to picking up voices or distant sounds, and it's quite natural as well.”
Picky Audio · Aug 2025 · 8:31 →“I'm impressed with the transparency mode as it lets in ambient noise without the artificial low quality microphone recording sound effect.”

“I would give the headphones one airplane mode feel a five out of five... everyday usability because of the extra bulk and the extra weight, I'll give it a 3.5 out of five.”
Septien Patterson · Mar 2026 · 18:32 →“the noise cancelling was solid on the flight I was pretty impressed not the best of the best but for $300 it did a really good job”

“I love the tactile controls, I love the fact that it has great active noise cancellation and great sound quality overall thanks to that KEF tuning”
9to5Mac · Dec 2025 · 8:39 →“In many ways, yes. The Nothing Headphones (1) deliver on all the fundamentals: great sound, solid ANC, good comfort, and a strong battery life.”

“I do have to state that I'm not a fan of the size of the case. It's going to travel pretty... It's going to take up some space, especially if you have a small bag”
Nick Ackerman · Jul 2025 · 3:00 →“the left and right pieces tend to clang together at the corners. Now, this can potentially lead to some scratching of the metal frame.”
