Nothing Headphone (1) for $189 ($110 Off)
The Headphone (1) is Nothing’s first over-ear headphones, launched back in 2025. They are noise-canceling headphones with a bold, transparent design that’s somehow techy, retro, and futuristic all at once. The bold design was so successful that the brand followed up with the similar-looking but lower-priced Nothing Headphone (a) and the more premium Nothing Headphone (1) Pro.
A big standout is the on-ear controls. They are all physical, clicky wheels, rockers, and buttons, a far cry from most over-ear headphones on the market. The wheel adjusts volume, plays and pauses music, and controls noise-canceling modes, while the stiff media rocker lets you go back and forth between tracks (and even fast-forward or rewind if you hold it down). It also has a physical on-off switch, Bluetooth pairing button, and voice assistant button.
Noise cancellation, transparency, and sound quality are all excellent (though not as top-tier as pricier, $400-plus headphones from Sony, Bose, and Apple). And battery life, up to 35 hours with noise-canceling on, is more than many competitors. The headphones are so alluring that WIRED commerce director Cooper Fleishman recently bought a pair, and the discount he got wasn’t even this good.
