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.
