Nothing entered the over-ear headphone space with the Nothing Headphone (1) back in July 2025. Now, while fans wait to see what the Headphone (2) will bring, reports of an affordable and low-cost Headphone (a) have started emerging online. It has now been listed on the IMDA website, indicating an imminent launch.

Spotted by Xpertpick, a new Nothing product has been listed on Singapore's IMDA database listing website. It clearly mentions the "Headphone (a)" moniker and is associated with the B186 model number. The product has been listed under the wireless Bluetooth headphones category and is associated with IFACTORY ASIA PTE. LTD manufacturing vendor.

Aside from that, no other detail has been revealed so far. However, a previous Nothing Headphone (a) details leak hinted at Yellow, Pink, Black and White colourways as well as a full plastic build for the upcoming headphones. Also, many online claims suggest that the Headphone (a) will be a mere rebrand of the Nothing Headphone (1), but with a plastic shell.

Pricing-wise, Headphone (a) will supposedly retail for 159 Euros (approximately Rs 17,000). This will make this approximately Rs 4,000 cheaper than the Headphone (1)'s Rs 21,000 price tag. That said, at the time of writing, Nothing has not teased any details regarding the Headphone (a) officially. 

Early rumours hint at a March 2026 launch window. Given that the Phone (4a) series launch is set for March 5, 2026, there is a high chance the upcoming headphone may also debut on the same date. If that's the case, then Nothing has done a real good job keeping the Headphone (a) under wraps.
