      The company Nothing released its first headphones last year, providing users with impressive sound quality in an appealing design. Priced at $299, the Nothing Headphone 1 offered a high-quality build, balanced audio, effective ANC, and a long-lasting battery with rapid charging, positioning it as one of the top contenders in the under-$300 category. Now, it seems that Nothing is preparing to introduce a more budget-friendly model, as a recent leak hints at its possible launch date and essential details.

      We first learned about Nothing's upcoming affordable headphones in December, when a source indicated that the company was developing a more economical version of Headphone 1 made from plastic. Leaker Billbil-kun has now shared more information about the expected Nothing Headphone (a), indicating that it is set to launch on March 12, with pre-orders beginning on March 5.

      As per the new leak, the Nothing Headphone (a) will be offered in four colors: pink, white, black, and yellow. The price is expected to be €159 in Europe and £149 in the UK. While specifications remain unknown, the reduced price implies that it might lack some features present in the Headphone 1, along with a less premium construction.

      Given the leaked pre-order date, an announcement for the affordable headphones is anticipated on March 5. The company may also reveal two new budget-friendly smartphones, the Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro, alongside the headphones, which have already been confirmed to be in development. The devices have recently appeared in regulatory databases, indicating that a launch is approaching.

      HAVIT Space S1 wireless headphones offer adaptive ANC and genuine spatial audio

      For those who rely on headphones to navigate their daily routines, there exists a recurring and frustrating cycle. You purchase a pair because the advertisements promise exceptional performance - tranquility in a bustling subway, concert-like 3D audio, and crystal-clear calls - yet reality often falls short. After a week, you realize the "active" noise cancellation falters with every gust of wind, the "spatial audio" comes off as a cheap echo, and the touch controls are overly sensitive, leading to accidental disconnections during calls.

      These aren't merely minor inconveniences; they are the friction points that make technology feel burdensome. The specifications don't matter if the device is frustrating to use. This disconnect is precisely where HAVIT aims to improve with its new SPACE Series, particularly with the flagship SPACE S1. Rather than chasing trends, they have created a product intended to address the actual issues users face: unreliable silence, artificial sound, and overly sensitive controls.
