The Nothing (1) Headset Is Discounted Early for Black Friday

"If you're looking for an excellent pair of over-ear headphones that stand out in both their sound quality and looks, the Nothing Headphone (1) are currently marked down to just $239 on Amazon, a 20% discount from their usual price. They're one of our favorite wireless headsets, earning the title "best looking" while still sounding almost as good as some headsets at twice the price."

"Sound quality is excellent, partially thanks to a collaboration with British speaker maker KEF, and these 40mm drivers have excellent low-mid performance that gives them a unique pop. The soundstage isn't quite as expansive as some of the very best, but it gets most of the way there without costing nearly as much. Similarly, the active noise-canceling doesn't match the performance on the big hitters like Sony or Bose, but excellent fit and passive isolation pick up the slack."

"They have quite a few thoughtful design touches that make them easy to love. A small red dot on the right earcup makes sure they always go on your head the right way, rather than trying to read a little letter on the inside of a band. The physical controls, a clicky wheel and a flicky knob, combine to open up a surprising amount of interaction, which our reviewer Parker Hall called "some of the best and most intuitive controls ever designed.""

The Nothing Headphone (1) are available for $239 on Amazon, a 20% discount. The headphones offer over-ear comfort, high-resolution audio, multipoint device connections, and object-based surround for media. A collaboration with KEF and 40mm drivers provides notable low-mid performance and a distinctive pop. The soundstage approaches that of pricier models though it is slightly less expansive. Active noise-canceling trails top competitors, but a snug fit and passive isolation improve isolation. Design touches include an orientation red dot and tactile physical controls—a clicky wheel and a flicky knob—and they come in black and white.
