In the world of audio innovation, Nothing is making waves with the anticipation of their upcoming over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (a). With a focus on budget-friendly products, the company looks set to deliver an affordable alternative for audio enthusiasts who admire their previous model but were deterred by its price. Here’s everything we know so far about the Nothing Headphone (a).
Nothing's Shift Towards Affordable Audio
Following the announcement from Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, that the company will not release a new flagship product in 2026, they are shifting their strategy towards creating budget products. This new approach includes significant upgrades to their upcoming Nothing Phone (4a) and, of course, the new headphone model.

Leaked Color Options
According to a recent Dealabs report, the Nothing Headphone (a) will reportedly be available in four appealing color variants:
- Pink
- Yellow
- White
- Black
Expected Pricing and Launch
One of the most exciting aspects of the Nothing Headphone (a) is its expected price point. If rumors are correct, the new headphones could retail for around $159, which is over $100 less than the previous model, the Nothing Headphone (1). This significant price drop suggests that the Headphone (a) may not simply be a rebranded version of its predecessor, but rather a thoughtful new product targeting cost-conscious consumers.
Final Thoughts
While the details shared so far are based on leaks, Carl Pei has reaffirmed Nothing's commitment to improving the headphone experience in 2026. While this leak isn't confirmed, the anticipation for a budget-friendly audio option has many excited.
