Summary

  • The Nothing Headphone (1) has been leaked to offer up to 35 hours of playback time with ANC.
  • Other leaked specs include 40 mm drivers with Hi-Res audio support and Adaptive ANC of up to 42dB.
  • Expected features include on-head detection, Google Fast Pair, dual connection and low lag mode.

The Nothing Headphone (1) is all set to launch in India and globally on July 1, 2025. Now, ahead of its scheduled launch, specifications of the headphone have leaked in all their glory, giving us a good look at what might be inside. 

Thanks to folks over at Android Headlines, we now have a detailed look at the Nothing Headphone (1) specifications. For starters, the headphones are said to measure 173.85mm x 78mm x 189.25mm, making the overall form factor chunkier than Apple's AirPods Max.

However, the Headphone (1) is said to weigh less at 329 grams (the AirPods Max weigh 386.2 grams). On the other hand, the Sony WH-1000XM6s weigh much less at 254 grams.

The earcups themselves have a physical roll, paddle and button to likely fast forward through, change tracks and adjust volume. 

Coming to the sound, as per the latest leak, the Nothing Headphone (1) will arrive with 40 mm dynamic drivers and an impedance of16 ohm. The diaphragm is said to be PU, nickel coated, and the audio is backed by KEF, a British audio manufacturer.

As for supported codec, it is said to come with AAC, SBC and Hi-Res (LDAC) support. Additional audio features will likely include adaptive bass enhancement, spatial audio as well as an 8-band custom EQ. Users can most likely also create a personal sound profile. When gaming, the leak also suggests the presence of a low lag mode to make use of.

According to the publication, the Nothing Headphone (1) will also arrive with a Transparent Mode of 2,000 Hz frequency range and Adaptive ANC of up to 42dB

While we're on the subject, thanks to a 1,040mAh battery unit, the headphones are also said to deliver up to 80 hours of playback time with ANC turned off and on the AAC codec. Meanwhile, with ANC turned on, the headphones will most likely deliver 35 hours of playback time.

When utilising LDAC, the playback time is said to go up to 54 hours with ANC off and 30 hours with ANC off. The latest leak also suggests that the headphones will deliver up to 5 hours of playback on 5 minutes of charge.

Talking about connectivity, the headphones use Bluetooth 5.3 to connect to Android and iOS devices via the Nothing X app. Bonus features include on-head detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, Dual connection and Find My Device. 

Thanks to previous Nothing Headphone (1) real-life image leaks, we already have a good idea of the kind of design it will flaunt. Besides, it will launch alongside the Nothing Phone (3), so we are looking forward to the brand's "true flagship" phone as well. The Phone (3)'s design also leaked in official-looking renders recently, so there's that.

The good thing is, the launch is just a day or so away, so we won't have to wait long to see it all come to life.
