Nothing has probably made its biggest impression in the tech world with its
distinctive mid-range Android phones (like the 3a Pro pictured above). But
the UK-based brandΓÇÖs first product was actually wireless earbuds, and now
itΓÇÖs preparing to unveil its first over-ear headphones on July 1. As is
often the way, though, we donΓÇÖt have to wait until then to get our first
look at the upcoming cans, as pictures have leaked online ahead of the London
launch event.

As youΓÇÖd expect from a Nothing product, the Headphone 1 ΓÇô if these leaked
images are indeed legitimate ΓÇô looks like nothing else on the market. A
number of photos uploaded to Instagram by Nothing Fan Blog show off a typical
transparent design, which looks a bit like someone has glued a cassette tape
to a slab of smooth metal. It looks like the headphones will be available in
black/gray and silver/white colorways.

ItΓÇÖs hard to determine what materials Nothing has opted for from the leaked
photos, but it looks like there are at least three buttons: two on the side
of the left earcup and one on the top. In one photo you can also see a wire
attached to the bottom of the headphones, so presumably theyΓÇÖll have a
3.5mm connector.

Again, we donΓÇÖt know for certain if this is the final design of the
Headphone 1, but aesthetically speaking they could definitely stand out in
what is an enormously crowded market.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the Headphone 1 will arrive on July 1
alongside the brandΓÇÖs new flagship phone, the Phone 3, during a live
appearance at SXSW in London earlier this month. EngadgetΓÇÖs Igor Bonifac
was impressed by NothingΓÇÖs Phone 3a and 3a Pro when he reviewed both phones
earlier this year, with the caveat that they carry a limited US warranty.
