London-based consumer technology brand Nothing has officially unveiled its flagship audio product, the Headphone (1) Pro, introducing studio-grade audio controls to personal listening
Coinciding with the global launch, the company named K-pop icon V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS as its new Global Brand Ambassador.
The international campaign starring V was shot in Seoul by photographer Dorothea Sing Zhang. Grounded in creative expression, the collaboration highlights the intersection of technical excellence and artistic experimentation.
V joins pop artist Charli XCX, who joined Nothing as a global brand ambassador and shareholder earlier this year, as part of the tech firm's growing roster of cultural partners.
Headphone (1) Pro bridges the divide between professional studio equipment and everyday personal audio
The device introduces an acoustic layout built around a triple-driver architecture.
A 40mm bass dynamic driver handles low frequencies, a precision dynamic driver texturises vocals and mid-range instruments, and a specialised treble xMEMS driver produces crisp high frequencies.
The setup delivers an ultra-wide frequency response range spanning 20Hz to 40kHz.
To refine its sound profile, Nothing collaborated with London's renowned Metropolis Studios
The partnership yielded a hardware-level Flat EQ Switch that activates a neutral sound profile for music producers and audio creators.
The over-ear headphones also feature "Studio B" — a Dynamic Spatial Audio mode engineered to replicate the acoustics of Metropolis Studios' flagship mixing rooms — alongside five custom EQ presets tailored for British music styles.
Active noise cancellation (ANC) receives a significant hardware upgrade via a 10-microphone array capable of filtering ambient noise by up to 46dB
The ear cushions feature an internal 8mm silicone baffle wall to strengthen the acoustic seal against wind and traffic noise.
Visually, the over-ear headphones refine Nothing's iconic transparent design, showcasing internal driver components beneath shatter-resistant 9H Panda glass.
Lightweight aluminium and titanium components reduce the overall weight to 327g, while a wider padded headband improves weight distribution. The device boasts up to 68 hours of playback with ANC turned off, fast charging capabilities, an IP52 water-resistance rating, and Hi-Res wireless audio support over USB-C up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Globally, the Headphone (1) Pro carries a retail price tag of USD399 (RM1,643)
While global sales commence on 29 September across online and retail channels, Nothing confirmed that official availability and local pricing details for the Malaysian market will be announced at a later date.
