If Carl Pei used Sennheiser's HD 650 headphones for 10 years which were launched back in 2003, (22 years ago), then it speaks about Sennheiser's sound quality as well as build quality unlike Nothing's products

Sennheiser basically commented on Reddit after seeing design of headphone 1 that:

The only way we’d make a design like that is if we were bought out again and had the best salespeople. Even then..

However, Sennheiser have now deleted its comment as they have some shame unlike Carl Pei

Also, Nothing had to team up with the British audio company — KEF, for their headphone's sound. Sennheiser meanwhile are one of the top audio brands and do all their sound work themselves, without taking anyone's help or relying on other company.
