Nothing’s new Headphone (a) model has gone viral on TikTok following its March release, and it’s pretty easy to see why.
I was intrigued by the tech’s virality because it’s not often people are shocked by drops that aren’t from major headphone brands such as Beats or Apple. An underdog of sorts, Nothing is a British consumer electronics company based in London. The brand is pretty new, cofounded in 2020 by Carl Pei, and has a primary focus on everyday tech, from earbuds and headphones to even a phone.
That being said, Nothing also offers tech accessories, watches and even clothing. These are active noise-canceling headphones that are over-the-ear rather than on-ear. They currently retail for $199. Tech-savvy consumers have likened it to Apple’s AirPod Max headphones.
Style/Fit
Nothing excited me as a consumer obsessed with fashion because their offerings are actually stylish as well as functional, something that isn’t as common in the world of audio accessories/tech. Headphones, in particular, are a big part of the problem, focusing more on capabilities while boasting a sterile color scheme and a lackluster design. Nothing’s Headphone (a) silhouette features vibrant hues from baby pinks (my personal favorite) to bright yellows akin to fresh citrus, along with more palatable white and black hues.
Now its TikTok fame started to make sense. Thousands poured over videos, amassing up to 156K views. Thousands of videos were posted under the headphone’s hashtag. All of these people flocked to the new offering because of how cool and unique they looked, and I was one of them. The ear cups are square rather than your standard round shape. The style is futuristic and modern, but not brutalist in nature. It’s playful and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Even the buttons are interactive and tactile, creating an experience for the user.
These sit nicely on my head, with a padded headband and equally cushy ear cups. I never felt like my head was being squeezed upon wearing it, even after hours of wear. They are lightweight and don’t gap around the ears, creating a perfect seal so sound won’t leak out.

New headphones from Nothing. The style comes in four colorways and retails for $199, less than Nothing’s OG headphones at $299.
Sound Quality ANC and Transparancy Mode
Beyond its obvious aesthetic wins, these headphones offer great sound. While playing my usual K-pop hits or R&B tracks, I noticed that the bass was punchy and the audio was clear with expressive highs. This just means the high-frequency sounds, which are typically around 2,000Hz to 20,000Hz, were nice and detailed since they can sometimes get lost or muddied in your listening experience.
That crispness is translated into the instruments we hear or the clarity of vocal consonants. These headphones offer ANC that is adaptive, which means these headphones will cancel out superfluous noise and adapt that cancellation to your surroundings. You’ve also got transparency mode, which uses external microphones, of which there are three on this model, to pick up ambient sound and play it through the speakers.
This allows you to hear your surroundings without having to take off your headphones. Both of these modes make these headphones ideal for commuters or people who work in an office who want to tune out the noise of a busy space or subway ride, but want to be aware of their surroundings from time to time. I found these modes extremely helpful when I was trying to focus on writing at the office, or when I was heading home on the busy New York subway and needed a break from all the noise.
Affordability
Compared to Nothing’s Headphones (1) that retail for $300, the Headphones (a) model is more affordable at $199. That alone is a win in my book, given that pricing for headphones has only increased over the years. I want quality, style and affordability out of my headphones, and Nothing delivers.
