TL;DR
- The Nothing Headphone (a) is reportedly launching on March 12, with pre-orders starting around March 5.
- It is rumored to cost €159 in Europe and £149 in the UK, which is roughly half of the Headphone 1.
- The leak suggests four color options: black, white, pink, and yellow.
Nothing is reportedly about to break the premium-only mold it set with the Headphone 1. After turning heads with its transparent-design over-ears and solid feature set last year, the brand is now said to be readying a more affordable sibling, and the pricing could surprise you.
A new report from Dealabs says the launch is set for March 12, 2026, with pre-orders starting around March 5 (via Notebookcheck). The big news is the expected price: about €159 in Europe and £149 in the UK, which is about half of what the original Headphone 1 cost at launch. This price drop puts Nothing in direct competition with mid-range headphones from brands like JBL and Sony, which is unexpected for a company known for its premium look and pricing.
