I loved Nothing's first tilt at making some over-ear headphones – its Headphone (1) felt like just about the most genuinely interesting entry into the market in years. With an out-there design and a heavy emphasis on physical controls, all it needed was great sound to be a home run, and I felt it ticked that box, too.
That left me super interested to see what Nothing would do next, and I'm now fairly unsurprised that it's going down a more wallet-friendly route. The brand's first over-ear audio product was ambitiously priced, but the Nothing Headphone (a) looks to make things more accessible. I've had a pair for a fortnight of travel and heavy listening, to see how it stacks up.
