Nothing recently announced an event happening on 5 March 2026 to show off the Phone (4a) series, but it turns out they have a bit more up their sleeve than just two new phones.
The company has confirmed that we will also be getting a proper look at a brand-new pair of cans called the Nothing Headphone (a). This new headphone is essentially a more affordable alternative to the original Headphone (1) that hit the shelves back in July 2025.
Just like their more expensive predecessor, these are over-ear headphones rather than buds. Nothing is teasing some pretty bold colourways for this launch, so expect something a bit more vibrant than the usual monochrome aesthetic. Perhaps most impressively, they are claiming these will boast the longest battery life we have seen from any of their audio gear so far.
While we expect the overall vibe and design language to stay fairly close to the flagship model, there will inevitably be a few trade-offs to keep the price down. We are likely looking at slightly less premium materials and a trimmed-down feature list compared to the Headphone (1).
