Nothing Headphone (1) over-ear headphones are dropping in price! They boast amazing battery life and a great look

Nothing is a brand that isn’t afraid to do things differently – and the first over-ear headphones, Headphone (1), confirm this. Transparent design, physical control with a wheel and lever instead of touch surfaces, and sound tuned by the British brand KEF. With code ALZADNY15, you can now buy them for 6,290 CZK instead of 7,690 CZK, a price at which they can make sense.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want original headphones with enormous battery life, LDAC codec, and solid ANC for a price under 6,500 CZK.
⚠️ Consider carefully if you are an audiophile with maximum demands on sound – at a higher price, Sony or B&O play slightly better.
💡 For 6,290 CZK you get 80h battery life, Hi-Res Wireless certification, 6 microphones for calls, and a 3.5mm jack in the package.

Why they are an interesting choice for 6,290 CZK

The battery life of 80 hours without ANC (35 hours with ANC) is unrivaled in this price category – most competitors offer 30–40 hours. Fast charging provides 5 hours of listening in just 5 minutes. Support for the LDAC codec with Hi-Res certification means wireless transmission at 24 bit / 96 kHz quality – which is not a given for headphones under 5,000 CZK. Adaptive ANC with up to 42 dB noise reduction analyzes the surroundings every 600 milliseconds. And if you prefer a wired connection, a 3.5mm jack cable and a USB-C cable are included in the package.

Control is purely mechanical – a wheel for volume and playback, a lever for skipping tracks. Many users in reviews write that it is more pleasant than touch control on competing products. Dual Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless switching between two devices. In the Nothing X app, you’ll find an 8-band equalizer and the option to share sound profiles with the community.

What users say – and what to prepare for

With a rating of 4.5 out of 5 and 85% recommendation, Headphone (1) are popular among customers. The most frequent praise is for the design, build quality, battery life, and mechanical controls. One reviewer compares the sound performance to higher-end headphones and appreciates the LDAC codec in combination with Spotify Premium.

However, there are also criticisms: several users mention that the sound straight out of the box is not ideal and requires time spent tuning the equalizer in the app. ANC is on par with older AirPods Pro – solid, but not top-tier. The headphones weigh 329 g, and some users find them uncomfortable around the neck after prolonged wear. They cannot be folded, so the case is quite large – more for a backpack than a pocket. And a few reviewers point out the low maximum volume, which can be an issue in noisy environments.

Verdict

Nothing Headphone (1) for 6,290 CZK are headphones for those who want something different. The combination of 80h battery life, LDAC codec, solid ANC, and mechanical controls is hard to beat at this price. If you don’t mind investing a few minutes in equalizer settings, they are a great choice for 6,290 CZK.
