Nothing Phone 3 isn't the only launch coming on July 1; CEO Carl Pei confirms entry into new category
Nothing's CEO, Carl Pei, at SXSW London on June 5, revealed that Nothing is going to be entering a new product line, and this is going to be headphones, called the Nothing Headphone 1.
Nothing's CEO, Carl Pei, confirmed that Nothing Headphone 1 will indeed launch on July 1, the same date as the Nothing Phone 3 launch. This is notably going to be Nothing's first product in the over-ear audio category.
'Nothing Headphone (1) is coming very soon. Our first over-ear headphones are launching on July 1. A whole new product category for us as we continue to level up audio in 2025,' Carl Pei posted on X.
However, it is certainly not going to be the brand's first audio product, as it has launched several truly wireless earbuds like the Nothing Ear Stick and Nothing Ear line, and more, including the CMF line, like the CMF Buds 2 Pro, and more.
So far, the company has put out several teasers about the Nothing Phone. From the teasers, we do know that the phone will retain mostly the same design as its previous Nothing models, with industrial elements like exposed screws, etc.
However, the company did reveal an interesting detail when it said that the company has killed the Glyph Interface. The company's CEO, Carl Pei, also replied to the same post on X, saying, 'RIP.'
This is certainly an interesting move, but it is certainly not confirmed at the moment because Nothing seems to be teasing something. It could be possible that the company replaces the LED Glyph lighting interface with something else entirely, or perhaps it could be just wordplay, and we may get to see even more LEDs than before. Again, all should be confirmed on 1 July, when Nothing is going to launch the Nothing Phone 3 as well as the Headphone 1.

Nothing Headphone (1) first impressions
Nothing has officially entered the over-ear headphone segment with the launch of the Nothing Headphone (1). Priced at Rs 21,999, these headphones promise high-quality audio, unique tactile controls, and the brand's distinctive design language. Developed in collaboration with audio experts KEF, the Headphone (1) is aimed at users seeking immersive audio in a versatile package. Here's what we found in our initial experience with the headphones. Design and Comfort The Headphone (1) stands out with a clean, transparent aesthetic, featuring aluminium, precision CNC components, and PU memory foam cushions that naturally adjust to your head. The earcups, the company says, are oil-resistant and built for extended use. During our initial testing, we found the device to offer a snug fit without feeling heavy. Available in black and white, the headphones look sleek and feel premium in hand. Despite the metal components in the design, they remain comfortable over long listening sessions. One of the standout features here is the intuitive three-part tactile control system—a Roller for volume, a Paddle for media control, and a Button to toggle ANC or access custom features. The controls are responsive and easy to navigate, even while on the move. Buttons respond to commands instantly and work without any major hiccups. Audio Performance Nothing has partnered with KEF to ensure that Headphone (1) delivers a refined listening experience. The headphones feature custom-built 40mm dynamic drivers that, Nothing claims, produce balanced sound. In our early usage, the audio felt full and immersive, whether streaming music or watching videos. The device supports Hi-Res Audio, LDAC, USB-C lossless playback, and even includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, making it accessible across various devices and setups. With features like on-device spatialisation and head-tracking, it provides a surround sound-like experience that's responsive to movement, especially noticeable when using the Spatial Audio mode. Overall, the headphones offer a decent audio experience. Active Noise Cancellation and Battery Life The Headphone (1) uses a dual-microphone ANC system with beamforming and feedback mics for real-time AI-based adaptive noise cancellation. During our testing, the headphones effectively reduced background noise in a busy workspace. Transparency Mode was equally handy for staying aware of the surroundings. It is claimed to deliver up to 35 hours of listening time with ANC on. There is also a quick 5-minute top-up that is said to give around 2.4 hours of playback. More about battery life in our detailed review. With the Nothing X app, the button control on the headphone can be tailored for quick app-switching using Channel Hop, launching voice assistants, or activating Nothing's Essential Space for recording quick notes. There is also an 8-band Advanced EQ to fine-tune sound beyond the basic presets. What We Think At Rs 21,999, Nothing Headphone (1) comes with a host of features packed in a unique design. It seems ideal for everyday use—be it work, travel, or casual listening. With smart controls, solid audio tuning, and versatile connectivity options, Nothing's first over-ear headphones are off to a promising start. We'll be diving deeper into long-term comfort, sound tuning, and ANC performance in our full review. Stay tuned. Nothing Headphone (1) Unboxing and First Look AI Masterclass for Students.

4 phones like Nothing Phone 3 that looked odd at first but went on to gain a cult following
Nothing launched the Nothing Phone 3 yesterday on July 4 for ₹ 79,999. Apart from the higher-than-expected pricing, the phone also debuted a polarising design. This mostly has to do with the placement of the camera lenses and the new 'Glyph Matrix' interface. Nothing Phone 3 with is asymmetrical camera setup, and the new Glyph Matrix.(Aishwarya Panda/HT) Now, while design is subjective, and many actually do appreciate the design, over the years we have had several phones which at first seemed to have polarising designs that divided communities on the internet, but eventually, people understood where the brands were coming from. Eventually, they became the norm, and this includes some really popular models, including some popular iPhones. So, without much further ado, let us tell you about a few models of mobile phones over the years which shocked the internet. The iPhone 11 Pro debuted the triple-camera iPhone layout that is still ongoing. It is laid out in a triangular fashion in the top left of the phone, and it has given the pro models their unique identity ever since. Since the iPhone 11 Pro, there have been multiple models that have shipped with the same look, albeit with larger camera lenses: the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro, and now the iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 11 Pro was subject to a lot of memes, with many people comparing it to gas stoves, but over the years, people have just learnt to embrace it. And now, it is the 'iPhone look,' and is also reportedly responsible for the smooth lens transitioning when you switch. iPhone X The iPhone X debuted with the infamous notch. It housed the various sensors for the front-facing Face ID array, which was the new biometrics method replacing Touch ID. Now, it was certainly polarising because a cutout was unheard of at that time, and Apple was one of the few to implement it. Over the years, it became an industry-wide trend, with Android makers also introducing notches. From the iPhone X all the way to the iPhone 14 models, Apple continued to ship the notch. And now, even with the iPhone 16, the notch is still present. It did transform into the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro, but overall, the notch did function as a key design change to allow Face ID to come into existence. Nothing Phone (1) The Nothing Phone (1), of course, just like the Nothing Phone 3, was a polarising design for a smartphone. It featured a transparent back with industrial bits like the screws and other components visible through the transparent back. This was a unique aesthetic that was not really seen before, albeit with some exceptions. But over the years, they established the Nothing identity, the transparent aesthetic that the brand is known for now. Several other products, including the latest headphones, also offer this transparent aesthetic, and people now appreciate Nothing for coming up with a unique look that certainly stands out in a sea of similar-looking phones. Essential PH-1 The Essential PH-1 was created by the Android co-founder, Andy Rubin, and it did ship with a set of very premium materials, including ceramic and titanium. Yes, titanium before Apple did it. Now, when it comes to design, it was again unique in its own sense. It debuted with a U-shaped, teardrop-style camera cutout and a chin, so it did make for an immersive experience on the front. Overall, though, it was quite minimal. The back had no camera bump; everything was laid out flush. And if you think about it, it did the flat-sides look with a flat front and back before some other Android makers, and in fact, even before Apple switched to the flat look with the iPhone 12 Pro. Maybe it was too ahead of its time.
