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.

BREAKING: Leaked Presentation Confirms Renders of the Nothing Phone (3) Design

A private presentation for Nothing Headphone (1) has inadvertently confirmed the design of the Nothing Phone (3), directly aligning with previously leaked renders.

The leaked image reveals a significantly smaller Glyph interface. Furthermore, the telephoto camera is not vertically aligned with the main camera below it, as some renders suggested. Its camera rings are also noticeably smaller than the main camera's.

So all those blind fans who had faith in Nothing by arguing that the leaked renders were fake can peacefully cry in the corner now.

Nothing Headphone 1 Review Out Before Official Launch
Source — Yogesh Brar

Even before the Nothing Headphone 1 is officially announced worldwide tipster Yogesh Brar has dropped a full review after just five days of use exposing everything from sound quality to build to battery life. Since the tweet thread has been taken down likely due to being threatened by legal action from the Nothing team you can still view the full thread at this link. Here's a TL;DR for those who are considering it:

Design & Build
• Solid build; retro aesthetic (cassette player/defibrillator vibe)
• Ample padding, however, earpads could be softer
• A bit heavy; causes fatigue after long use (329g weight)

Sound Quality
• 40mm drivers, tuned by KEF — gets quite loud
• Default "Balanced" EQ has decent bass, clean mids
• Wired mode has limitations (only Volume & ANC controls work while play/pause will not work)

Features & Functionality
• Spatial Audio is mediocre
• Head tracking & dual device connection available
• On-head detection included

Battery Life: Not exceptional but acceptable
• 25 hrs on LDAC + ANC at 50% volume
• 45hrs on LDAC without ANC
• 65hrs on SBC/AAC codec

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC):
• Strong ANC in highest setting
• Effective at drowning out most frequencies
• Low, Mid, and Adaptive modes can be inconsistent

Controls: Feature a roller, paddle, button, and on/off switch, all on the right side.

Carry Case: Nice fabric feel, allows cup rotation for storage, but zipper quality is poor.

Verdict: Good for beginners and those seeking a quirky design. Serious audiophiles should consider Sennheiser and others. A good attempt by Nothing nevertheless.
