Nothing’s first over-ear headphones want to be a quirky $300 AirPods Max alternative

After many similar (non -interlocking) wireless buds, nothing for the first time in the first pair of its excessive headphones. The headphone 1 combines the aesthetic of the company known with a set of interesting controls and up to 35 hours of listening with the active noise cancellation (ANC). Easily, in order to launch the most valuable sound so far, the $ 299 headphones are accompanied by the new Noteing’s New’s New’s: The Phone 3.

The first impressions are everything, and these do not look like headphones. Again, the company merged a transparent design item. There is also an oval shape that displays part of the devices inside, and a layer above the aluminum rectangle with curved corners. Mineral points on each oval are part of the vocal rooms, not the inputs of the buttons as you think. Although the white option looks more “nothing”, I think I am best black, which makes the company’s design options a little more accurate.

Nothing avoids touch sensors for buttons, brooms and cylinders. The cylinder is a nice touch, as it provides a more sensitive way to adjust the sound level, instead of sudden jumps. It can also be pressed to play and stop tracks. It has long been pressing here. Switch the headphone between the active cancellation of noise and transparency. One of the unusual aspects is that the cylinder moves side by side, even when the sound level turns up and down. It is a little strange feeling.

Below, control of the paddle acts as a path leader, but it also includes the ability to clean forward and backward, similar to re -weighting in the old school. The last feature depends on support from third -party applications to work.

On the same cup of headphone, there is also a traditional button that works as a shortcut for vocal assistants and my favorite program from Noteing Software. Nothing added another blessing when she associated with anything phones, allowing them to switch smoothly between modern audio applications without your claim of touching your phone. (Of course, you are hostage to anything that was eventually turned on or placed. There is already support from Audible, Soundcloud and Patreon as well as the usual music suspects.

There is also a secret Bluetooth conjunction button on the inner side of the same cup of ear. This is good to be a dedicated button as it is unlikely to weaken the use of basic buttons and controls.

Nothing placed the work in comfort and suitability, and as listening to the wireless ear headphones, I was surprised by the pleasure of how headphones felt without 12 ounces (329 grams). It is approximately an ounce of lighter than AirPods Max, which seems to be the product that there is nothing to compete with. However, there are lighter headphones, including many Bose and Sony Wh-1000XM6 models, which weigh under nine ounces.

There is an abundant Bo leather filling around the ear pillows and a gang, and the company says it must resist oils and makeup. In my test so far, it was easy to wipe any residues that smell of sweat. (I hope that the ear pillows will be replaced. I have not yet tested them during the exercise in the gym-they were under the siege after all-but the optimum headphones in the ear are acquired for those who sweat it while listening to the music.

Vocal aspect, nothing has been built for 40 mm dynamic drivers, with support for HI-ES, spatial sound with head tracking and ANC with four comments microphones. The cans also support the double device connection, allowing you to jump between your Note Noteing (3) and laptop.

KEF helped in the tools for controlling audio and ownership engineering, and it seems that it aims to create an audio profile that reproduces music as the artist means. According to Noteing, the team worked to achieve this through normal operation, ANC patterns and sound.

The headphone (1) looks a little bright, but the sound bar is richer than a group of none of the wireless buds. Compared to the most valuable headphones, singing sometimes appears slightly muddy. (In a defense, nothing, these units and pre -release programs. If things improve, I will update this story.)

The updated version of the Now None X eq application adds 8 ranges and the ability to reassemble the “button” (additional control, separate from the glory and fall of jumping, AI’s vote, noise control, spatial sound, and even switch to your favorite eq setting.

Nothing says that the headphone (1) will offer up to 80 hours of sound playing, up to 35 hours with Enable ANC. With the presence of the African National congress-the situation I used more to listen to the middle of the calm office-I got this time. You will be able to get more than two and a half hours to listen from a five -minute fast fee.

Headphone 1 has an exciting appearance of the dispute. Before the launch, they were offered to them to the other editors of the Engadget, some of whom were confusing through the mixed use of square aluminum and circular elements. But it is different, and this is nothing. The new headphones will be available for pre -order starting from July 4, with sales start on July 15. It reaches black and white color options, at $ 299 (299 pounds sterling/299 euros).
