Nothing’s New Wireless Headphones Take the 'Pro' Label Literally
Nothing has launched its new Headphone 1 Pro, featuring a triple-driver architecture and a collaboration with Metropolis Studios for professional-grade EQ settings. The headphones are designed to appeal to both casual listeners and audio professionals.
Why it matters
The product represents a shift for the brand into the premium audio market with specialized hardware and software features.
Nothing’s wireless headphones just got a “Pro” label for the first time, and the company means it. The $399 Nothing Headphone 1 Pro are what the company is calling its “most advanced headphones” to date, a claim that centers mostly on two improvements: the driver architecture and EQ.
Starting with the former, Nothing has a new three-driver architecture, compared to the Headphone 1’s solo driver , with one driver focusing on one part of the frequency range. According to Nothing, one driver focuses on precision bass, giving the Headphone 1 Pro more “punch and sensitivity,” while another zeroes in on vocals and instruments. Lastly, there’s a treble-focused driver from xMems for handling higher frequencies.
Obviously, I can’t say without trying the Headphone 1 Pro for myself (which I will be doing soon), but having dedicated drivers for all of those frequencies should greatly improve the sound from generation to generation.
