Nothing's Headphone A finally get a price that makes you squint sideways
Amazon's bundling a CD with the Nothing Headphone A, and the combo costs less than the headphones alone. That's the sort of sideways arithmetic Spoot lives for. The Headphone A keeps the over-ear shape but swaps the transparent shells for opaque ones, more discreet, less of a conversation starter. You still get physical controls, IP52 dust and water resistance, and a battery that stretches past five days per charge. Charli XCX's *Music, Fashion, Film* rides along for free. If you're the type who circled back to see whether the opaque version fixed anything the translucent one didn't, you already have a tab open. The S26 Ultra hides your screen for $950, and that's the whole pitch, another story about a device that knows exactly what it is.
Nothing Ear 1 dips to a whisper while October deals circle the drain
October deals are circling the drain, and Nothing's first over-ear headphones are whispering from the discount bin. The Nothing Ear 1, sorry, *Headphone 1*, drops to $189 at Amazon, which is $110 off a $299 launch price that always felt a little ambitious for a first-gen product. But that retro transparent design? Still gets me. Active noise cancellation, spatial audio with head tracking, plush pads, and a paddle button that lets you flick through tracks without fishing for your phone. It's a lot of personality for under two bills. The question, as always with Nothing: does the polish match the panache? At this price, the answer gets easier.
