The noise-canceling Nothing Headphone A are down to their lowest price to date

Nothing Headphone A over-ear headphones keep key elements from Headphone 1 while lowering the price to $169. The earpieces use a rectangular shape with oval enclosures, but with opaque colors instead of transparent housing. The headband and memory foam cups provide comfort, and physical controls manage playback, volume, noise cancellation, and other functions without capacitive buttons. An IP52 rating supports sweat and light rain, and wired listening is available through USB-C and 3.5mm ports. Sound quality can be middling out of the box, but EQ presets in the Nothing X app for Android and iOS enable substantial customization for improved results.

"In the crowded world of noise-canceling headphones, Nothing has made a name for itself with solid specs and a distinctive aesthetic, often relying on a retro-transparent design or bold color choices, especially in its budget-friendly CMF line. The Headphone A take a somewhat more conventional approach, but they're strikingly similar to last year's Headphone 1. And now, they're available at Amazon and Nothing's online storefront for $169 ($30 off), which is a new low price."

"In essence, Nothing's second pair of over-ear headphones retain the best parts of the Headphone 1, only at a significantly lower price point. The earpieces sport a similar rectangular shape with oval enclosures; however, they use opaque colors rather than see-through housing, giving them a more subdued look. The headband and memory foam cups were comfortable enough in our testing, too, while a set of physical controls let you manage playback, volume, noise cancellation, and other facets without fiddling with capacitive buttons."

"They even carry an IP52 rating - meaning they can handle sweat and light rain - and support wired listening via their USB-C and 3.5mm ports. As for the sound quality, it can be somewhat middling out of the box. Fortunately, the default presets are relatively easy to address with the EQ in the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, which offers some serious customization for a pair of sub-$200 headpho"
