Nothing’s budget over-ear headphones are built around one standout spec: battery life. The Nothing Headphone (a) is now $109 on Amazon, saving you $90 (45%) on its $199 list price and matching the lowest price it has ever hit.
Nothing rates the Headphone (a) for up to 135 hours of playback with noise canceling switched off. In practice, that means you could listen for a few hours every day and still only charge them a couple of times a month. Our sister site SoundGuys reviewed them earlier this year and singled out that huge battery, along with a bass-heavy sound.
They’re a natural match for Android phones. Google Fast Pair gets them connected in a couple of taps, LDAC support lets compatible phones stream higher-quality audio, and the Nothing X app lets you tweak the EQ. Under the hood, 40mm drivers work with Nothing’s Dynamic Bass Enhancement to give music more weight.
Adaptive noise canceling, rated at up to 40dB, adjusts on the fly to keep traffic and office chatter in the background. Nothing also skips touch controls in favor of a roller, a paddle, and a programmable button, which is easier to use with gloves on during the winter. That button can even act as a camera shutter for your phone.
The Nothing Headphone (a) has a 4.5 star rating on Amazon, and the bold color options, including a limited-edition Yellow, make it a fun gift too.
The Yellow, White, and Pink models are all at this price, while Black isn’t currently available from Amazon.
