Nothing's Headphone A are something worth considering

"After the release of the Headphone 1 last year - Nothing's first over-ear headphones - the company is back with the Headphone A. They're a slimmed-down over-ear option that keep the Nothing design aesthetic and excellent controls while decreasing the weight and bumping battery life up to a maximum of 135 hours. There are some concessions - middling call quality and a carrying bag instead of a case - but they're also cheaper at $199."

"The Headphone A's design is incredibly similar to the Headphone 1's. Each earpiece has the same rectangular shape with an oval enclosure on top. But where the oval enclosure of the Headphone 1 was transparent, on the A it's an opaque white, yellow, or pink against the white housing (there's also an all-black option), and the ear shell is the part with the transparent cover."

"The memory-foam-lined ear cups are comfortable for a while, but I did find I needed occasional breaks because of the clamping pressure at the bottom front of my ear and how the headphones rest on the top of my head. And while the Headphone A are IP52 rated - many headphones pricier than the Nothing, like the Sony WH-1000XM6, Bose Ultra Headphones, and Apple AirPods Max have no IP rating - the ear cups don't breathe well."

Nothing released the Headphone A as a more affordable alternative to their Headphone 1 over-ear headphones. The A model maintains Nothing's distinctive design aesthetic with rectangular earpieces and color-coded indicators while reducing weight and extending battery life to 135 hours. The design features opaque colored oval enclosures and transparent ear shells, available in multiple color options. However, the headphones have notable limitations including middling call quality, poor ear cup breathability causing sweating during warm conditions, and occasional discomfort from clamping pressure. Despite an IP52 rating, the headphones lack the durability features of more expensive competitors. The plastic housing and swivel hinges represent a balance between affordability and build quality.
