Nothing's cool noise-cancelling headphones have hit a record-low price that makes them even more tempting

Nothing and its sub-brand CMF are doing some really interesting things with headphones right now, such as CMF's Headphone Pro. And the crown for most out-there headphones belongs to the Nothing Headphone (1), whose design means you definitely won't mistake them for any other set of over-ears.

Right now those headphones are available with decent discounts: they're down from $299 to $254 on Amazon US, and reduced even more on Amazon UK: there, the Nothing Headphone (1) are down from £299 to just £224. In both cases, that's a record-low price.

These are very smart headphones, with highly effective noise cancellation, great comfort, and solid build quality. They're in direct competition with the best noise-cancelling headphones, and with these discounts they undercut many of the big names.

Also, they make you look like one of Dr Who's Cybermen. You can't say that about a set of Sonys.

Today's best Nothing Headphone (1) deals

Nothing Headphone (1): was $299 now $254 at Amazon

This deal on the Nothing Headphone (1) wireless headphones applies to both the white and black models, but I think if you're going for them you should go for the silvery white ones: they show off the radical, retro-styled design best. There's plenty of substance to match the style, with 80 hours of play time, Hi-Res Audio, spatial sound and tuning by audio legend Kef. And while they may look weird, they're supremely comfortable for all-day wear.

Nothing Headphone (1): was £299 now £224 at Amazon

As with the Amazon US deal, this offer is available for both the black and the white versions, and you should definitely go for the white ones before they sell out. This is a great discount on excellent over-ears: there's LDAC audio, great ANC, USB-C audio for wired hi-res music and up to 80 hours of use with ANC off and a still impressive 35 hours with ANC on. They're built tough, too, so they're more than ready for the rigours of your commute or recreational run.

Why there's nothing like the Nothing Headphone (1)

The Nothing Headphone (1) look like no other headphones: there's a distinct echo of the OG Sony Walkman in their design. But as we said in our Nothing Headphone (1) review, while they may look retro there's nothing old-fashioned about their features. They include tweakable ANC, useful audio customization, USB-C lossless audio and spatial audio too.

This isn't a case of style over substance, or of design taking precedence over comfort. We found the Headphone (1) to be supremely comfortable and very well-made.

Spec-wise you're looking at 40mm dynamic drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz, Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC, and IP52 water and dust resistance.

Call us Nostradamus, but as we said in our review: "If (well, when) they get a price drop, these could be great headphones." If you'll pardon the grammar: that when is now.
