Nothing has officially confirmed the launch date for its first over-ear headphones. The company revealed that the new audio product will launch on July 1st, alongside the upcoming Nothing Phone (3). The announcement came through Nothing’s social media accounts and a post from CEO Carl Pei.

Last month, Nothing released a teaser video promising a pair of headphones designed to challenge Apple’s top-tier audio product, widely assumed to be the AirPods Max. This video confirmed a summer launch for the headphones, named the headphone (1). Now, that information is official and aligns with the previously announced Phone (3) debut, scheduled for the first of July.

This marks the brand’s first entry into the over-ear headphone space and an expansion of its growing product lineup. Aside from the headphone (1) name, several details have already started to surface via leaks. The headphones are expected to be priced around €300 / $320. That would position them directly against premium models like the Sony WH-1000XM5, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and the Apple AirPods Max.
previously reported on the Nothing Phone (3)’s July 1st release window, and now it looks like the company is planning a much larger event, with at least two products sharing the spotlight. As we learn more about the headphones’ name, specs, and features, we’ll be following closely.
