Nothing’s first over-ear headphones leak ahead of July unveiling

Nothing has probably made its biggest impression in the tech world with its distinctive mid-range Android phones (like the 3a Pro pictured above). But the UK-based brand’s first product was actually wireless earbuds, and now it’s preparing to unveil its first over-ear headphones on July 1. As is often the way, though, we don’t have to wait until then to get our first look at the upcoming cans, as pictures have leaked online ahead of the London launch event.

As you’d expect from a Nothing product, the Headphone 1 – if these leaked images are indeed legitimate – looks like nothing else on the market. A number of photos uploaded to Instagram by Nothing Fan Blog show off a typical transparent design, which looks a bit like someone has glued a cassette tape to a slab of smooth metal. It looks like the headphones will be available in black/gray and silver/white colorways.

It’s hard to determine what materials Nothing has opted for from the leaked photos, but it looks like there are at least three buttons: two on the side of the left earcup and one on the top. In one photo you can also see a wire attached to the bottom of the headphones, so presumably they’ll have a 3.5mm connector.

Again, we don’t know for certain if this is the final design of the Headphone 1, but aesthetically speaking they could definitely stand out in what is an enormously crowded market.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the Headphone 1 will arrive on July 1 alongside the brand’s new flagship phone, the Phone 3, during a live appearance at SXSW in London earlier this month. Engadget’s Igor Bonifac was impressed by Nothing’s Phone 3a and 3a Pro when he reviewed both phones earlier this year, with the caveat that they carry a limited US warranty.
