Nothing Headphone (1)'s price in Europe leaks
Nothing is getting into the over-ear headphone business. It will unveil the Headphone (1) on July 1 at its launch event where it will also make the Phone (3) official. Both the phone and the headphones will be offered in the US officially, and a past rumor told us to expect the Nothing Headphone (1) to be priced at $299. But what about Europe? Specifically, the Eurozone. If you live there you are surely used to a price like $299 magically transforming into €399 or even €449, so you may have been expecting something similar here. But according to a new rumor, you'd be wrong. The Nothing Headphone (1) will allegedly go for €299. In the UK, it will be £299, and in the US this new source claims it will actually be $309, $10 more than what the last leak said. The device will apparently be available in white and black in Europe and the UK, and in grey and black in the US. Specs are still unclear, but the Headphone (1) has been developed in partnership with KEF, so sound quality should be high. We also expect ANC, a transparency mode, and a very Nothing design language of course. Source (in French)

Amazon Slashes AirPods 4 Prices Just Before Prime Day, Now Closer to $0 Than $200
AirPods 4 are dominating Amazon this June and both Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) models and the non-ANC models of the new wireless earbuds are priced lowest ever. The non-ANC AirPods 4 currently cost $99 which is a price reduction from their initial price of $129. Meanwhile, ANC-packed high-end model with transparency mode and adaptive audio costs $148 compared to $179. See AirPods Without ANC at Amazon See AirPods With ANC at Amazon Same But Different The two devices only differ in their feature sets, specifically how they handle noise: The standard AirPods 4 offer spatial audio tailored to the listener, more comfort and all the core features that make Apple's earbuds a success without active noise cancellation. The advanced version includes ANC, adaptive audio and transparency mode which makes it ideal for users who want to block noises. They are both based on the new H2 chip which powers improved sound quality and better call performance. The quick-press controls on the stem allow you to naturally control music playback or take calls and the optical in-ear sensor stops sound from playing should the earbuds not be seated in your ears. Personalized spatial audio feature supported by dynamic head tracking immerses you in a movie-like listening environment. Call and sound quality have significantly been improved by the H2 chip: Voice isolation tech limits background noise while calling and separates and cleans up your voice so that you can enjoy crystal-clear calls even in a packed space. The AirPods 4 also feature hands-free 'Hey Siri' voice commands and with Siri interactions having been upgraded lately, you are now able to answer Siri with a nod or shake of the head. Battery life is also a major plus: One charge provides AirPods 4 with five hours of listening time, and with the charging case, you have a total of 30 hours of listening time. The case has been redesigned to be more than 10 percent smaller than previous cases which makes it even easier to carry. USB-C charging quicker and more convenient than eve, is supported on the case. For the ones who are concerned with how long they can last, the AirPods 4 and their case both have an IP54 rating for dust, sweat, and water resistance, so they'll withstand rain and intense exercise. With Amazon's current sale, there's never been a better time to take advantage of all that the AirPods 4 has to offer. See AirPods Without ANC at Amazon See AirPods With ANC at Amazon
