Nothing appears to be taking the Headphone 1 formula and turning the dial up. Leaked renders of the alleged Nothing Headphone 1 Pro point to a more transparent design, while reported upgrades to the audio hardware suggest this could be more than a simple refresh.
Tech publication WinFuture shared several images claiming to show the upcoming Nothing Headphone 1 Pro. The over-ear headphones are shown in Black and white. At first glance, they look very similar to the Nothing Headphone 1.

The images show off the same boxy ear cups with heavily rounded edges and the same mix of metal and see-through panels. The main difference is the transparent elements. The Headphone 1 Pro seems to show off more of its internals through the clear panels, which is classic Nothing design.
According to the report, the build uses aluminium and scratch-resistant glass. The ear cups also look well-padded, which should help with comfort during long listening sessions. Nothing Headphone 1 Pro is tipped to carry an IP52 rating for dust and splash resistance.
Nothing Headphone 1 Pro Specifications Leaked
Moving on, the report also outlines the alleged specifications of the Nothing Headphone 1 Pro. It is tipped to feature a 40mm dynamic driver per side, with three drivers per ear cup, one each for bass, mids, and highs.
The high-frequency driver is said to be an xMEMS solid-state micro speaker, a type of speaker usually found in premium earbuds. Here's what else the Headphone 1 Pro is tipped to offer:
- Hi-Res Audio certification with LDAC support (wired and wireless)
- Spatial audio with head tracking
- 10 microphones for adaptive ANC, along with a transparency mode
- Bluetooth 6.1
- 3.5mm analogue and USB-C digital wired audio
- Up to 60 hours of battery life
- Voice assistant controls
An earlier leak from the French site Dealabs also claimed that London's Metropolis Studios tuned Nothing Headphone 1 Pro, with "Flat EQ" and "recording-grade" sound options. For reference, the Headphone 1 was tuned by KEF.
