Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers from RTINGS.com and SoundGuys commend the Nothing Headphone (1) for its impressive hybrid ANC that delivers up to 42 dB reduction with even attenuation, KEF‑tuned high‑fidelity sound, long battery life with rapid charging, and a feature‑rich companion app. However, they criticize the only‑okay microphone, the relatively small ear‑cups that can become hot, the 329 g weight that may cause fatigue, and moderate distortion at high volumes.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the strong ANC, exceptional battery endurance, and the standout transparent design, noting the IP52 rating as useful for workouts. Recurring complaints focus on tight ear‑cups that heat up, mediocre microphone performance in noisy settings, the heaviness of the unit, and noticeable distortion when the volume is high.
Common Complaints
Ear‑cup tightness and heat buildup, mediocre microphone performance in wind or noisy environments, heaviness causing fatigue during prolonged or vigorous use, and distortion becoming audible at high volume levels.
