Nothing has officially announced it’s working on its first-ever pair of over-ear headphones and they’re set to launch this summer. This marks the brand’s entry into a new category within its expanding audio lineup.
In a recently released video on Nothing’s official YouTube Channel, the brand has confirmed the development of headphones after earlier rumours started back in February. That’s when a pair of wireless headphones with the model number B170 were certified by SGS Fimko, hinting that the company was planning something big in the premium audio space.
Tech enthusiasts online were quick to note that the product seems to have been brewing for quite some time. Back in October 2022, Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared fan-made concepts of over-ear headphones. Those early designs appear to have influenced what the final product will look like, staying true to Nothing’s design-focused approach.

The company says the upcoming headphones will offer a standout look that sets users apart. Nothing’s design team found most current headphones boring and wanted to build something more visually expressive. Usability is also a key focus with clearly marked buttons that are easy to find and use without needing to take the headphones off.
Nothing also promises impressive sound quality for the price. In fact, the company claims that even users switching from premium headphones like Apple’s AirPods Max won’t be disappointed, despite what’s expected to be a much lower price tag.
These headphones will be part of a larger wave of new audio products currently in development, which comes on the heels of a new partnership with high-end audio brand KEF.
The official launch is planned for this summer. The timing could line up with the release of the Nothing Phone (3), making for an exciting duo of new products. If the headphones deliver on performance, design and value, they could make a serious impact in the market.
