Perhaps nothing has hit the tech world like distinctive mid-range Android phones. But the British brand’s first product was wireless headphones, and it is now preparing to unveil its first over-the-ear headphones on July 1. However, as is often the case, we don’t have to wait until then to get our first look at the upcoming cans, as photos have leaked online ahead of the London presentation.
As you’d expect from a Nothing product, the Headphone 1 headphones – if these leaked images are authentic – look like nothing else on the market. Several photos uploaded to Instagram by the Nothing fan blog showcase the typical transparent design that looks like someone has glued cassette tape to a smooth metal plate. It looks like the headphones will be available in black/gray and silver/white colors.
From the leaked photos, it’s hard to tell what materials Nothing has chosen, but it looks like there are at least three buttons: two on the side of the left ear cup and one on the top. In one photo, you can also see a wire attached to the bottom of the headphones, so they will probably have a 3.5mm jack.
Again, we don’t know for sure if this is the final design of the Headphone 1, but from an aesthetic point of view, they can certainly stand out in an extremely crowded market.
Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the Headphone 1 will launch on July 1 alongside the brand’s new flagship phone, the Phone 3, during his speech at SXSW in London earlier this month. Engadget’s Igor Bonifak was impressed with Nothing’s Phone 3a and 3a Pro when he reviewed both phones earlier this year, with the caveat that they have a limited warranty in the US.
