Nothing headphones drop 24% on prime day – battery life that'll shock you
Preslav’s happily tapping away, and frankly, so should yours, thanks to a massive discount on Nothing’s Headphone (a).
A serious deal on a seriously good pair
Amazon’s Prime Day blitz has landed a 24% price cut on the Headphone (a), bringing the price down to $48 – a surprisingly compelling offer considering the headphones’ feature set. Initially priced at $199, positioning itself between the flagship Headphone (1) and the budget CMF Headphone Pro, the (a) now represents a genuine value proposition.
Nothing’s engineered a headphone that walks a fine line. It borrows heavily from the design language of the (1) – the undeniably quirky, industrial aesthetic – but packs in a 40mm driver array and, crucially, a sophisticated Advanced EQ system accessible through the intuitive Nothing X app. Tweaking the sound profile is remarkably straightforward, offering a level of customization that’s often lacking at this price point.
And then there’s the battery life. Seriously. Up to 135 hours with ANC switched off and using the AAC codec? That’s more than five days of listening – a frankly ridiculous claim that, according to our testing, holds remarkably true. It’s a testament to Nothing’s engineering, a detail that’s remarkably refreshing in a market saturated with inflated specifications.
Beyond the specs: connectivity & durability
Beyond the headline figures, the Headphone (a) boasts multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring seamless switching between devices, alongside IP52 dust and water resistance – a practical consideration for everyday use. Frankly, there’s little to fault here. The sound is agreeable out of the box, but the real rewards come from spending a few minutes fine-tuning the EQ to your precise preferences. The inclusion of influencer-curated profiles within the Nothing X app elevates the experience, offering a starting point for those less technically inclined.
At $199 before this discount, the Headphone (a) was already a solid mid-range contender. Now, with a 24% reduction, it’s a no-brainer. Don’t sleep on this – it’s a compelling upgrade for anyone seeking a distinctive design, impressive battery life, and a surprisingly capable soundstage, all at a price that’s genuinely hard to ignore.
